I kind of feel the opposite about it being a business person. He's trying to make a living, he paid to use that launch, he really can't afford to have a spare person around, just in case.

Plus, I think the Lyon's Den should put up more of a stink on how the islanders can intentionally block public docking. The restaurant pays town taxes and their customers should have fair use of town services.

I try to keep my boat clean and I would not want some yahoo climbing all over it, but accidents happen. If you cause damage to someone property you have duty to mitigate the damage. Even better if you can prevent it, but say he scuffed your decks, and avoided scratching your hull. You wouldn't make that trade? Of course, he should make it right either way.
