Have your charter company put a cooler with ice and beverages along with some snacks on the boat. That always worked for me when I was chartering.

I chuckle at Evan's post about putting beer aboard. Many companies as a Sleep aboard will provide rum and cokes. Putting them out on the table in great presentation. But they are hot. How about a nice card that says "Hey, Look in the Fridge!". So to follow Evan's idea, have them put the beer in the fridge, I've learned, be specific.

I second everyone's suggestion to ask CatCo to stock the fridge with a bottle of Rum, some Cokes or juices, and a bag of ice. If possible a couple of limes! Have dinner in PR, and bring some bags of Doritos. Then enjoy settling in on deck with a drink in the gentle breeze and watch the stars!
We chartered from CatCo for the first time last year (40Below) and it was a very good experience overall. Our Lagoon 400 was in great shape with AC, and very comfortable for the three of us. Checking in and out was smooth, and the pick-up from the STT ferry was convenient, including a provisioning stop.
Hodges Creek is ok enough. Not too keen on the restaurant in the marina, except for a cold one or a quick bite, and the pool area is a sad place to hang out. All the more reason the head out as quickly as possible and make a straight line for either Norman or Cooper! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
This year the family decided on an insane whirlwind tour of Kauai, the Big Island, LA and Joshua Tree <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />, so no BVI. But we'll be back next summer, and will happily charter with CatCo again.
Enjoy! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Groovin.gif" alt="" />

Nobbie, Some of the posters may have missed that your flight is originating in the UK and, therefore, may not be connecting in San Juan. If that's the case, of course, consider dining at your Caribbean gateway wherever that is, if the timing is appropriate. As has been indicated, options on Tortola will be limited after your arrival time. The Tamarind Club is convenient to Hodges Creek, but typically ends food service at 2200. You may want to contact them to see if they might have some flexibility for your party. Welcome to TTOL!

Total second what Mal suggested about walking across the street to Sticky Wicket. The unofficial airport lounge.
