Holding in BVI anchorages is generally great. Plus, the water is clear so it's easy to check how you are set. (the only exception is at Great Harbour JVD and parts of Cane Garden Bay where the bottom is a mix of sand and rock. I give the former a pass and pick my spot carefully on the latter)
As for a check out skipper, I would think that anyone on this list could get by without one. If you own a boat and can handle that, you'll be more skilled than a large percentage of the credit card captains you'll see down there. Don't sweat it.
