Does anyone know if the annual late May MIT MBA graduation trip is on this year?
If so, I would love to know the dates.
Thank you.

I think it’s usually the week leading into Memorial Day weekend. Last year our last night was their first night and we shared Great Harbor on Peter Island with them. That was the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.

My brother and I had some exposure to this group last year. Think of the ways in which the herd mentality would manifest among newly-minted MBAs and you'll have the picture. Best to avoid them.

We were there May 20-30, 2016 and they were there. Someone on this group actually posted their itinerary, not sure where they got it. We spent our last night in Norman Island with them and my 22 & 24 year old kids didn't even want to venture near the Willie T. They were as described above, smart young people celebrating a huge accomplishment. We tried to stay away from the areas they were in just so that we were able to get mooring balls. They had 30 boats out there.

As mentioned above we only spent one night sharing Great Harbor on Peter Island. It was our last and their first so you would think they would have been extra rowdy but it wasn’t. They had a party going on shore that didn’t bother us. In the morning half the boats were gone by the time we woke and we woke early to get back to Road Town. Outside of perhaps lack of available mooring balls in an anchorage and sheer numbers I don’t think there is anything to fear from this group ;-)

I'm glad you all did not have bad experiences sharing anchorages with this group. I and especially my brother saw enough from them to alter our itinerary to avoid them last year, and a very gracious, well-known BVI-based person shared his tale of woe with me when I mentioned them. So, if you cross paths with them I hope your experience is good, but I wouldn't chance it.
