Decent charter
Chartered with them as I was looking for a value-priced cat fairly late (booked < 1 month from sailing). The boat was older than some of the BVI boats - it looked like it was on a second tour. The owners were friendly and helpful, and generally the boat was well-maintained if a bit aged.
They had a weird policy with insurance, requing me to write a $2k security check and be liable for a large deductible. I would rather pay for insurance like I have with other companies, but thankfully had no problems.

Recommended charter
I have used Barecat Charters several times now. They have a wide variety of boats from fairly new (1-2 years) to older (7-10 years).
The outfit is small, and they pay attention to both boats and customers.
The location is easy to reach from the ferry dock, provisioning is easy at a nearby store and the pricing is good compared to the bigger players.
A good bet that you go back again too. That being said, if money is no object would go with a place with a newer fleet.
