What this video covers

The final day of a BVI charter begins on a mooring ball outside Foxy's Yacht Club on Jost van Dyke, with Bobby raising the mainsail before releasing the mooring for an easier departure.▶ 0:28 A 45-minute sail in light wind reaches Soper's Hole at West End, Tortola, where the crew picks up a temporary mooring and goes ashore for lunch at Pusser's Bar and Restaurant.▶ 1:14 The charter company, BBI Yacht Charters, booked through broker Sailogy, required the boat back the day before disembarkation — a European-style policy Bobby contrasts with same-morning returns common among BVI operators.▶ 2:26 He praises BBI's maintenance standards and staff responsiveness.▶ 2:45 The crew loads into the Highfield dinghy to reach the dinghy dock, then sails roughly 90 minutes around Tortola to Road Town to return the Island SPIRIT 525 to the charter base.▶ 2:52 The following morning they take a ferry to the U.S. Virgin Islands to catch flights home.▶ 6:16 Bobby also announces the next trip: a nine-day charter out of Raiatea, French Polynesia, covering Taha'a and Bora Bora.▶ 7:04 Sailogy offers a $115 discount through a code in the description.▶ 3:09
