I said Beach Bar Time. If charter from St. Thomas you may actually increase the beaches and quality of the beaches when you consider just St. John. What you will most likely give up that some think is important is the realistic ability to spend every night anchored to the bottom with a bar ashore. The two nights in the USVI will be dinner and drinks aboard for most crews. When we can find the boat we want we always start in St. Thomas and live the evenings at Leinster. We no longer ride the ferries. They are just not worth the trouble and risk.
