I decided to make this a new thread, to make sure to focus this discussion on the specific requirements Here is a link to the latest entry requirements for the BVI. LinkA couple of comments-- 1) According to the video from Nov 19, your application to enter the BVI has to be COMPLETED 48 hours prior to entering the territory, presumably including your negative PCR test. It does refer to being able to save the application online and go back in and complete the application, so perhaps they don't mean it has to be actually COMPLETED. 2) You now have 5 days before entry to complete the PCR test. However, since it says that the application has to be COMPLETED 48 hours prior to entry, does that mean that you basically still only have 3 days to get the result of your test? 3) The video again makes reference to "making your travel arrangements" AFTER having already received your travel authorization. Obviously, almost NO ONE is going to make their travel arrangements under 5 days before they leave. I assume they will figure that out eventually. And one would ASSUME that you would need to fill in those travel arrangements on your application, wouldn't you? Other thoughts?

What happens if a guest tests positive on Day 4? Will option A: the charter continue through to the final day maintaining the same protocols in place for days 1-4 since guests and crew are already in their bubble and guests have already paid for 6, 7 or possibly more days? At the end of the charter period the guests go into quarantine at BVI Government facilities until they have completed day 14 and get re-tested? Or are they allowed to stay on board the yacht for the additional 10 days and until they test negative? Or, option B: does the charter end on day 5 and all guests go to quarantine in Government facilities? Where are those facilities? What are the associated costs for the guests in either option? What exactly is the compulsory COVID-19 insurance coverage required to cover?On both options, would the crew also be expected to go into quarantine too? Would the crew be allowed to self quarantine on board their vessel? If they have to go to Government quarantine who would be paying for that? Who would be responsible for maintaining the safety of the vessel while the crew were absent? A - A. If a guest test positive, that person would need to isolate. If positive on Day 4, then they would isolate for a further 10 days. A - B. It is not expected that the traveler would have to go to government quarantine. A - C. While I know we have not yet provided the full spec of the necessary travel insurance, it does include supporting the cost associated with a positive test. A - D. We’ll get more details.

The answers are in the video
They can stay on the boat if they chose
They can leave the boat and go into government hotel/lodgings to complete quarantine at their own cost this is what the Covid insurance is supposed to cover.
Crew will be able to self isolate on their boat , the boat also needs to get Covid insuance as they will not be able to do the next charter until given the all clear.

And what about the next group scheduled on that charter? Let’s say the next charter starts 5 days later, but still in the relevant quarantine period for the current group.
I guess the covid +ve must go to the government facility.
Has the government mandated safety protocols for the immediately following group?

That is what I was told too - that there are likely enough extra charter boats at this time to rebook for a positive case extended-stay quarantine scenario.
