The simplest way to do this would be to have the captain take the boat to Red Hook. Put it in a slip and he can take the ferry back. This could be done on the morning of your arrival. It is likely that you will get in late afternoon and end up spending the night in Red Hook. There is a good grocery store across the street from the marina and plenty of places to eat as well.

On return you could likely set up to pick up the captain and have him sail with you back to Red Hook. You get off the boat and he can sail it back. It is going to cost you two days of skipper pay and the slip for a night in Red Hook.

Obviously for you since you own the boat this is your best option. For anyone else following along you can just rent a boat from St Thomas from us at CYOA or Island Yachts in Red Hook and accomplish the same thing without the skippers pay. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
