Brandywine Bay is right around the corner, available moorings, nice restaurant. Just a thought. Easy to drop them in Road Town from there. It's a small bay, and by the time you exit you're practically already in the approach channel for Road Town.

OP may not want to move boat in the dark, that's how I'm reading it.

You can most likely find dock space to pull up and drop people off. Someone might not like it. I personally would not bother. Just hover the boat and have someone run them in with the dinghy. I have done it many times. With a powercat you can overnight at Great Harbor on Peter. It’s 4 miles so 15 minutes at 15 knots 20 minutes at 12 knots. You will have enough light. Leave at 6:15 and they will be at the ferry dock before 7 with no issues. Brandywine Bay is not very scenic and noisy. You would save 7 or 8 minutes staying there. It’s just over a quarter of a mile walk from the dingy dock to the ferry dock.

Did you snag the same what appeared to be at least a 100 year old anchor chain that I did once? Haha, no. We were in about 30 feet of water with lots of chain out and the bridel got all twisted around the chain. If I remember correctly, the wind was light and variable that night....hence the mess we woke up to. Not what we wanted being pressed for time to make the 730am ferry. To top it off we overheated one of the engines and had to back off and putt along at 5kts for the last several miles. Still made the ferry.
