The charter companies have the most to gain from the BVI being a safe, comfortable, and fun place to charter a boat. They shouldn't get a free ride.


I could not possibly disagree with you more. The residents of the BVI have THE MOST to gain from providing a safe and comfortable place for me to charter. This is their home, their livlihood. There are presently plenty of other anchorages in the BVI that welcome charters with well maintained facilities without financial assistance from the charter companies. Frankly, I would bet the "big three", The Moorings, Sunsail, and Voyage, could care less if any of their boats ever sailed into CGB again. No skin off their nose.
