I'd pick up in Cruz Bay. You can anchor in the creek for three hours for free and you can meet your crew at the ferry wharf. Then you can enjoy some of the most beautiful bays in the Caribbean on St. John's north shore.
Another option would be at American Yacht Harbor in Red Hook. Your crew gets to skip the ferry ride

It is all subjective, depends on many many factors, and all of those factors are basically personal decisions aided, abetted or disabled at the whims of weather , sea conditions and on time plane travel.
Easiest on you ? Heck, I could make it easy on myself and check out of JVD, check in at Cruz Bay, move to Christmas Cove for anywhere from part of a day to an overnight, motor back into Cruz to meet the ferry with my crew, motor up to Waterlemon Cay, set the hook, and treat myself and the crew to one of my favorite places in the VI's. Spend a night there and then check back in through JVD. That would be easy for me and I have huge doubts anyone else would complain about it. I'd have second thoughts about traversing Pillsbury Sound on the in and the out to Crown Bay or AYH, but that is just me and my subjective opinion.

RE Lindbergh Bay ::Is there a Dingy dock or central location in the bay that I can arrange to meet them or is it simply a shore pick up and drop? I have driven by this place but never scoped it out. any details appreciated.

burge said: thanks for all the suggestions. I will look each of them up so as to see which is the easiest and makes sense. The Crew is wife and kids so less for them the better. The know the ferry drill, but I am arriving a day early and staying 2 more days so the more travel I can take out of their trip, the more time they can spend on the boat. Also will give me more time to feel the new boat out. How are you going to handle the boat? By yourself? The Moorings don't allow single handing a boat..

GeorgeC1 said: If he is the owner he can solo the boat. That's news to me.. I'm an owner and haven't been allowed to single hand the boat. All the paper work says no single handling. Their insurance wouldn't take to kindly to something happening with only one on the boat.

Buddy said: There is a dock that you can use. I believe it is at the Emerald Beach resort. I have used it several times but not sure if it belongs to Emerald Beach or the next one. There is no dock at Emerald Beach or anywhere. Last month, there was a swim rope up to keep dinghy traffic away from Emerald Beach.

There is no dock at Emerald Beach resort or Island beachcomber, I am not sure about Carib Beach resort - certainly no dock at all on the beach at Lindberg Bay - but your guests can walk there from the airport - 5 min. with modest luggage - it is a beach pickup - can be rolly if it is a South wind -- the next bay west -- Brewers bay is better protected in that case but too far to walk.
