Static TO without a large fuel load is very doable.
This is hilarious. As someone who has many hours the ERJ, and has flown the islands in the ATR, the thought of the ERJ going into places like Anguilla and Beef is absurd. I believe that they did a runway extension at both those places, but only by what, several hundred feet? This, on runways that were 3,500' and 3,600' respectively. Not to mention it will be HOT and HUMID, not good for performance numbers. As for the RJ in EYW, did the ERJ go there? I know the CRJ-700 did, but that airplane has slats, which makes a large difference.
