Lots to unpack there, but initial observations:
I li If you are at all late getting off the dock and the weather is rough, RT to Leverick might be less than ideal.
You can't just stop off at Cinnamon bay (USVI) from Soper's Hole without clearing in.
I've never seen Wonky Dog actually be open for lunch.
May add more comments when more time.

If you have new divers I think you will have to budget more time for a guided dive(s), and may require some advance reservations. If you have a qualified dive leader and equipment aboard then this may not apply.

Yesterday Letica Paul at Leverick Marina arranged a slip for us and a rental car with L&S. We were last there in 2017 before hurricane Irma. Based on those experiences we made reservations or plan to eat at; Cooper Island Beach Club Hog Heaven Chez Bamboo unless we can find the name of the restaurant in VG with tables up in the boulders with a lot of greenery. Wonky Dog and Potters by the sea CGB seeking suggestions for dinner. Norman Pirates Bight We are six adults and seeking feedback on restaurants. Also, we need a car on Anegada.

I responded to your Trip Advisor post so won’t repeat that novel here - lol. Glad to see that you posted here as well - as you can see, this is a great resource.

I recommend Dean Wheatley for a vehicle on Anegada. dwjeep@hotmail.com or WhatsApp 284-545-0118
As was said earlier, Flash of Beauty is the snorkeling spot. Monica makes a really good roti there and her Bushwhackers are amazing. Also check out a couple of places not mentioned above. Tipsy's and Sid's. Tipsy's is a very fun place and will be loaded with action. Sid's is a fantastic dinner spot.
Enjoy your trip!
Go Irish!!
