Late Friday, gone Sunday

You get one great meal. I would spend it on Saturday dinner. This compressed weekend suits late Friday arrivals. You will not see everything. You will do a few things well.

Friday / Day 1 (often partial)

Arrive, drop bags, one harbor loop, casual dinner. Skip the activity stack, travel already ate the day.

Backup: If rain: indoor appetizers and early night; see rainy-day itinerary.

Saturday / Day 2

Anchor day: beach block OR charter, then your one reserved group dinner (dinner guide).

Backup: Rain: replace beach with shopping + long lunch; keep dinner.

Sunday / Day 3 (often partial)

Brunch with a travel lead who watches the clock (brunch guide). One last stroll if ferries allow.

Backup: No cross-Island detours if buffers are tight.

Compressed weekends live or die on Saturday dinner. Next: dinner guide and ferry timing.
