Hi everyone, I need a little advice. We have a charter with the Moorings that starts May 2. Travel logistics has one of the couples arriving STT at 3:30pm. Instead of delaying the start of the cruise to wait for them to arrive at YHG, we would like to take the boat to either Brewers Bay or Lindbergh Bay to secure a spot. Does anyone know of a water taxi that would take them out to meet us on the hook? Or is there a spot nearby that we could pick them up in the dingy? Is this a good option or should we just wait for them at YHG and hope for no delays? Any feedback or advice is appreciated. Thank you!
Thank you, Lily

Thank you for the reply and information. We hope to leave YHG by 2pm. If they land on time, I estimate they could get to YHG by 4:30 if all goes smoothly at the airport. My concern is if we wait for them, will we have a hard time finding a spot at Brewers? Are we better off dropping lines as soon as possible to secure a spot and then picking them up?
Thank you, Lily

That helps a lot. Thank you for the great info. BTW- I'm very jealous of your daily commute :-)

I would anchor in Druif Bay / Honeymoon Beach at Water Island and have them take the Crown Bay ferry. It is fast, cheap, and they can meet you at a beach front table at Dinghy's Beach Bar and Grill.
