As others are saying, I'm guessing every operation is in rough shape right now. That being said, a few years ago, my wife and I chartered from Conch Charters (in Tortola) and would do it again in a heartbeat. They are much cheaper than some of their competition down there, and have what they consider "older" boats, but ours was maybe 7 or 8 years old, and in great condition. We chartered a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 36i called. I'm hoping the BVI recovers quickly from the terrible storm damage... such a special place... and while the storm was terrible for the the people there (and the boats), MOST of what we loved about the BVI were snorkeling, caves, "the baths" and easy sails from harbor to harbors... things that weren't destroyed, so I look forward to visiting again soon.
