Best OpenCPN charts for BVI in 2023?

Hi! I'll be skippering my first charter in the BVI in January. I use OpenCPN in the Boston area and it works great with all the NOAA charts (raster, vector, MBTiles).
I've read through the older posts on this but before I put down 49 € on the o-charts "Imray Charts Eastern Caribbean (SKU : CRBeast)" raster charts, I thought I should check here to see if folks are still using that raster one, or if there are vector charts for BVI I should be looking at.

Hmm, no replies? What are people using in the Caribbean with OpenCPN?

o-charts.org has a full compliment of charts for this area. Use those.

Yes, I understand -- they have both raster and vector charts, so I was asking which set people like better for that area (coverage, quality, reliability).

Anyway, I ended up getting the raster charts. They sent me some samples and they look very good, though the coverage is only partial -- there are many areas of the BVI that are only covered at large scale. But that's OK for me, I can use Navionics on my phone to get vector charts if needed.
