ANy reason why you are spending 2 days on Jost? You could also rejig your itinerary and stay in Leverick for the beach BBQ on a Friday. We always try to tie the Friday night BBQ and Jumbies performance into our schedule. One of the best BBQs I have ever had! Captain can worry about getting up early and getting you back to moorings base before 10AM on the sat.
The below (suggested - take it or leave it!) Itinerary does not include Anegada - If it is your first time there is enough to enjoy around Tortola and outer islands. Also only 5 days and you can save Anegada for your next trip!
How about Monday - Cooper/Peter island - if cooper dinner/drinks, if peter dinner/drinks at Ocean's 7 beach club Tue - Norman stay in the bight- dinner at Pirates Bight (to willy T to keep the party going!) Wed - Jost - day at white bay dinner at Corsairs Th - stop at Sandy Island, or Diamond Cay for lunch - Cain Garden Bay for night - taxi to Bananakeet or the D'coal Pot for dinner Friday - Head to Leverick - rent car to baths and tour island, Friday Night Leverick BBQ Sat - back to base
Cheers!

Monday: White Bay afternoon followed by Great Harbor on Jost Van Dyke; Tuesday: Norman Island for swimming/snorkeling The Indians and/or The Caves, followed by evening at Kelly's Cove and dinner at Pirates, drinks and music aboard the Willy T; Wednesday: Early morning hike up the ridge at Norman (trail behind Pirates), then off to Cooper, followed by swim/snorkel at Cistern Point or just hang at the beach, followed by dinner at the Cooper Island Beach Club; Thursday: (if weather permitting) a run to Anegada, otherwise head to Scrub Island and enjoy the resort pool and dinner; Friday: Snorkel/swim somewhere around The Dogs or Mountain Point before moving to Leverick Bay Marina, followed by taxi or rental to The Baths and hike the trail. Stop at Hog Heaven for a drink and pictures, followed by the Friday night BBQ and Jumbie show at Leverick; Saturday morning head to Oil Nut Bay Marina for lunch before returning to your charter base.

I've seen these questions before and have been afraid to ask. All my experience is on sailboats so I don't allow for more than 5knts and often plan on going slower when trying to estimate departure and arrivals.
Regarding Power Cats, what do you allow for speed? When someone says they're going Norman to Jost I have no idea how much time to allow for that on a power cat.
