I am more worried about getting there before sunset. Would two hours be plenty of time from Trellis or cutting it too close? Didn't even think about mooring ball availability! I'm usually settled in by early after noon so this would be out of the norm for me to head somewhere that late. You can reserve the berth at Leverick by contacting Nick. Just let him know you will be late. 2 hours should be fine on powercat

Looks to be about an 12 NM trip between the airport and Leverick around Mosquito Pt. (what Burge said)
Just how fast can those power cats go?

Speaking of Trellis Bay, how are the full moon parties since Irma? We didn't go, but were at Trellis the day after the last one and were told that it was the best one since Irma. There were a good many boats still in Trellis mid morning the day after. Trellis ball availability wasn't that great, but was probably due to the FMP. Also, there were a good many cut pendants at Leverick, which also contributed to me anchoring. From Hog Heaven I could see that no one was moored at Saba/BEYC. I guess maybe they're removed those balls. There were people anchored at the point on Prickly Pear where the restaurant is/was. I guess that was the overflow from Leverick.

Was there the first week of May and did a slow cruise through BEYC and Saba. The moorings are still in place at BEYC but missing pendants and not intended to be used. The balls at Saba are all in place and seemed to be in good condition with pendants. The morning we were there Saba was mostly full.

Just how fast can those power cats go? We had our 514PC up to 19 knts. Burning some fuel though, however I cruise at 2200 RPMs with a speed of slightly under 10 knts. Plenty of time to make the 12 NM trip with a nice sunset and drink in hand on the dock.
Cruising the local waters here in SC and GA. Love the BVIs and miss the Tradewinds!

You should be able to make it to Leverick on power cat if the flight will be on time. Who you are chartering with? MarineMax has their base at Scrub right now. MarineMax has moved their base to Nanny Cay.

I think they use both places: when I was there 2 weeks ago there were 3 MarineMax cats at Scrub going through check out process I saw a sign for MM at Scrub last week too. There were 3 MM power cats in slips. One was partying down, complete with nekkid women running around and a guy talking loudly on his cell phone while being broken up with by his gf. The dockmaster kept having to tell them to turn down the music. It was a circus. When you go to the Willy T, you expect the Willy T. When you go to a slip on Scrub, you don't expect the Willy T to show up...but it did.

I guess you can take a guy out off trailer park, but you cannot take trailer park out off a guy..:) Thankfully it was much more respectable when I was there

When you go to a slip on Scrub, you don't expect the Willy T to show up...but it did. MarineMax MAIN base moved from Scrub to Nanny Cay recently according to my MarineMax contact. We're scheduled for a late June into July trip and were originally going to go out of Scrub. We can still do that, but they would send the boat from Nanny with just a captain to brief and check us out. Our contact felt it would be best to go from Nanny, since if there was a problem with the boat discovered during checkout, their full contingent would be available to make it right. Since our previous 4 trips thru the Moorings required various amounts of adjustments (dead generator battery, inop windlass), as well as missing small items (towels, sufficient rope, an ice chest), we decided to go out of Nanny to be on the safe side. Maybe MarineMax is more thorough than the Moorings but we don't want to take the chance...

As a back-up plan, you could grab a ball at Marina Cay
It looks better than Trellis Bay, and it's much less expensive than Scrub Island.
The ferry from Trellis Bay that goes to Scrub MAY still stop at Marina Cay??

Does anyone know if there are working washer / dryers at Trellis or Marina Cay? Thanks, Andy Yes. All of them were working great in August. Need tokens from the front office.
