Had a 3 week charter with them in 2003 and would definately go again.
The boat was excellent (IP350). Well equipped and well maintained. The staff were friendly and the service good.
Starting in the USVI's wasn't a problem. Clearing in/out of the BVI's was quick and easy. Having said that, don't dismiss the USVI's and just head across the 'border'. We actually returned to the US side earlier than planned because we preferred it (less commercial / quiter and better anchorages)...but I guess it depends on what you like.
I loved the Island Packet but recognise that the long keel/heavier displacement is not to everyone's taste (but they come into their own if the wind/sea picks up and everyone else runs for cover!).
