On a crewed BVI catamaran the day is already running before you open a cabin door. Breakfast is going from the preference sheet you filled in weeks ago. The day's order — where you go and in what sequence — was picked around wind, swell and moorings. You reach the Baths before the day boats because someone decided to dinghy in early. While you swim, the gear is out and lunch is plated; while you're ashore, the cabins get reset. Even the bay you sleep in tonight was chosen for shelter from the prevailing wind, not for the view. On most of our BVI fleet that is two or three people doing all of it. Crew quality beats headcount, and that is exactly what we track boat by boat — so we check the crew before we recommend the boat.
