The Tap & Still, a restaurant in St. Thomas & St. John, USVI

Tap & Still

Tap & Still is a local brewery that serves burgers, booze, breakfast and beer. The brewery was started as an attraction for cruise ship passengers but has become so much more.

Tap & Still is a local brewery where guests can watch the craft beer being made while sipping on their own cold brew and then enjoy a meal of burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, wings, or breakfast food as they try the various local brew flavors.

Hooman Pedram is the owner of three Tap & Still restaurants and Chicken & Bowling. He wanted to start a distillery as an attraction for cruise ship passengers but found his business ventures took much of his time. Meanwhile, the Brugos brothers, Joe and John, were operating Virgin Islands Craft Distillers, a small-batch distillery in the Gregorie East Marina on St. Thomas, handcrafting vodka, rum and gin. They brought in a fourth partner, Mario Austin, a local rental car franchise owner, to form Rock City Brewing Company within the Tap & Still site in Havensight Mall.

Island Transportation

One of the best ways to get around in the U.S. Virgin Islands is by water! In fact, St. Thomas is one of the busiest cruise ports in the Caribbean. Another popular form of transportation is in a car–either renting your own or taking a taxi. In fact, because U.S. Virgin Islands are part of the United States, you don’t need a special driving permit, just a valid U.S. driver’s license. Keep in mind the roads are often narrow, winding, and steep.

If you prefer another form of transportation, you can always take public transportation to popular tourist spots, or go for an adventure with helicopter transportation or a seaplane ride to travel between islands!

The History of St. Thomas

Saint Thomas is the territorial capital of the Virgin Islands, located in the Caribbean Sea. It is an unincorporated territory of the United States and within its 32 square miles holds almost 50 percent of the U.S. Virgin Islands population.

The Virgin Islands became part of the United States in 1917 when it was purchased for $25 million in gold. The purchase was made as a strategic move during World War I to maintain control over the Caribbean and Panama Canal. Post-war has seen a rise in tourism to the main islands including St. Thomas, St. Croix, and St. John–making it an attractive location for businesses

Cost of boat rental in st. thomas.

The prices for yacht charters in St. Thomas are closely tied to the weather and sailing conditions throughout the year. They tend to be at their lowest in September, corresponding to the low season, and reach their peak in December when demand is high and sailing conditions are optimal.

St Thomas Yacht Charters

St. Thomas is one of the most popular islands in the U.S. Virgin Islands for sailboat, bareboat, and yacht charters. While sailing near this island you’ll be delighted by the warm winds, wildlife, and water so clear you can see the corals at the sea floor. When you take your first steps on land, you’ll be greeted with the bustling streets, island music, and eclectic eating for both first-time visitors and seasoned sailors of the Carribean. 12 Knots offers a variety of boat rental options beginning at St. Thomas. Before you travel to the island, here is what you should know:

Sailing Conditions in St. Thomas

St. Thomas is in a tropical climate with calm seas and consistent trade winds. Wind speeds near St. Thomas average at 10 to 20 knots year-round, and the average north-east swell is around 8–9 feet. Most sailors enjoy the hot and humid climate due to the consistent winds to help cool you off at peak hours. The primary weather concern for sailors is the rainfall and potential for summer and fall hurricanes.

Best Times to Vacation in St. Thomas

Winter and spring are the most comfortable and safest times to travel to St. Thomas for your sailing charter. Hurricane season falls between June and November, which promises the greatest rainfall and potentially hazardous conditions on the island. For this reason, it is advised to schedule your sailing charter before June or after October. The spring and fall also offer slightly cooler temperatures while you explore the islands.

Boat Types For Charters

12 Knots offers a variety of yacht and sailboat charters suitable for each individual’s needs. We encourage experienced skippers to try our bareboat catamaran or trimaran rentals, while novice sailors are placed on crewed yachts and powerboats for ease and comfort. Our options include:

Snorkel off your private yacht charter in the BVI

What our Guests Have to Say...

Create a custom private charter – st. john, st. thomas and the british virgin islands.

Cooper Island - Rum - Virgin Gorda - BVI

If you have ventured all the way out to Virgin Gorda, then Cooper Island is a great place for lunch. This tiny island used to be a must stop for pirates and merchants back in the day to get their water and rum barrels repaired. Now it has a great little restaurant and fully-stocked rum bar that serves every rum made in the Caribbean!

Pirates Bight Beach Bar on Norman Island

So, you want to visit stunning white sandy beaches, crystal clear blue waters and have loads of beach bars to choose from? Then, Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgins Islands is the destination for you!

Home to only 280 people and over 30 beach bars, Jost is the ultimate fun in the sun destination.

You will need your passport and go through customs to visit Jost Van Dyke since it is in British territory. We go through customs on a regular basis so contact us if you have any questions.

Drinks on a secluded beach - Take It Easy Custom Tailored Excursions - Virgin Islands

While almost every boat going to the BVI will stop in Tortola for customs, this island is straight up neglected by the day boat community. Tortola has the only beaches left in the Virgin Islands where it will be just you on it!

If you desire your own beach, ask the crew of Take It Easy or Take It Easy 2 for the Tortola charter day trip and the island could be yours!

White Sandy Beaches and Beach Bars

A tour along the North side of St. John makes for a great start to your day on Take It Easy Custom Charters. As we journey along the coast, we can stop at what’s considered to be some of the best snorkeling on the island such as Waterlemon Cay, Maho Bay or Whistling Key.

Cruise to the Caves at Norman Island - British Virgin Islands

The Caribbean is known for its clear waters and beautiful beaches. The snorkeling here is amazing, and Norman Island has two such spots.

The Indians are pinnacle rock formations jutting out of 60 feet deep water. Exposed to the currents, a constant source of food nourishes the coral and sea life making this one of the best snorkel destinations in the BVI.

The Caves are the legendary resting place of buried treasure that was the inspiration for the book Treasure Island. Three caves await to be explored teeming with marine life and mystery.

Snorking crusies St. John, US Virgin Islands - Take It Easy Charter

Buck Island is home to dozens of green sea turtles which are as close to tame as a wild turtle can get. Swim with the sea turtles and see other amazing marine life. Around the corner is an old navy barge ship wreck in 30′ of water, a snorkeler’s dream. Water Island is the Jost Van Dyke of the USVI with two awesome beach bars on honeymoon beach that serve amazing food and drinks.

Peter Island BVI

Home to a super, upscale resort, Peter Island is a great place to spoil yourself. This resort has a pool bar, upscale gift shop and day spa. Dead Man’s Beach is the only beach in the islands with sugar sand, the softest sand on planet earth!

World-Famous Baths at Virgin Gorda, BVI - Take It Easy Custom Charters

One of the farthest British Virgin Islands, Virgin Gorda is home to the world-famous Baths – a series of giant smooth, granite boulders strewn across magnificent white sandy beaches. These boulders lean against each other making cathedral style “rooms” below filled with warm lapping water that surrounds your body and small tunnels to explore. The Baths is truly a unique destination for adventure seekers who enjoy boulder jumping or being off the beaten path.

St Thomas Yachting: When to Go

A St. Thomas yacht charter is wonderful at any time of the year. Peak season is considered mid-December through April, with heightened interest in charters around Christmas and New Year’s. Summer months offer more tranquility with fewer yachts and visitors.

Cruising Conditions

Thanks to the easterly trade winds, protected bays and short passages, St. Thomas is home to some of the best cruising grounds in the Caribbean. The trade winds provide a steady breeze, averaging between 10 to 20 knots, which pick up slightly around Christmas. Visibility is excellent throughout the year.

St. Thomas is also blessed with beautiful weather. Temperatures hover in the mid-70s to mid-80s for most of the year, before peaking in the upper 80s in the summer months.

Why our customers love us!

This review is over due in writing, because it’s been almost a month since we had the most incredible time with this precious company, who took my family and I out on their beautiful boat for the day! Everything was beyond amazing! Mariah the first mate, was so attentive and kind to all of our needs, she totally went over and beyond! And captain Ethan, was so kind and incredibly knowledgeable about where to sail and snorkel that would meet all our desires! He is a captain that truly cares about his passengers and also went over and beyond in helping us with anything we needed! They are both purely amazing! Our time snorkeling and sailing was the absolute highlight of our trip! Thank you so much Ethan and Mariah, hope to see you guys next year!!! God Bless you both!

One of the best ways to experience the USVIs is by sailboat and Blue Dream Charters did not disappoint. We booked a private charter for two days of our vacation where Tommy + Erin showed us some of the most beautiful spots in St. Thomas + St. John. The views were stunning and the snorkeling was so fun. We stopped by a few popular spots and visited hidden gems, learning history + fun facts along the way. Tacos + pizza for lunch were perfect after afternoons spent swimming. What made this trip so special - we were able to bring our two small dogs with us. Tommy + Erin were so accommodating and sweet to them and we were able to make some fun memories. Thanks for everything, Blue Dream crew! 💙

We had such an amazing time celebrating my brothers 30th birthday! Tommy and Luke were the absolute best, we could not have asked for better service. We had a group of 8 and there was plenty to drink and eat for our entire group and our cups never ran empty! We are already planning our trip for next year and we will definitely be booking with Blue Dream again! We seriously can’t thank them enough for such an incredible day!! Highly, highly recommended!!!

Six of us had a wonderful private charter out of Cruz Bay last week. Captain Will was knowledgable and accommodating of our diverse snorkel group, providing close supervision to those who needed it. Jarred (sp?), his first mate, was a wealth of information about the history, landscape, marine life and local culture peppering information into informal conversation throughout. We sailed, visited a couple of beautiful reefs we could not have accessed via Jeep on St. John, and enjoyed a very relaxing day on the water together. We got some great photos and will remember this experience as one of the highlights of our visit. Thanks Tommy and company for the memories made!

Captain Tommy and his crew catered to our every whim as they dodged the rainstorms and found the perfect, quiet, beautiful anchorage where they produced a delicious meal of fresh mahi or chicken tacos with all the fixings. The boat was extremely comfortable and spacious and a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy a special birthday. The margaritas were excellent, and they kept them coming. It was truly a perfect evening. Thank you guys.

Captain Kyle and Henry were fabulous! This activity made an incredible vacation fabulous! Kyle and Henry made everyone comfortable and make the trip fun. Kyle even gave us some history of the landmarks we saw. I would recommend Kyle and Henry and this boat ride as a must do!

This day was great and so was the boat and the captain. We had our family of 4 and we went out with Brian for a full day around St John. We had such a great time and he was the nicest person and so easy to talk to. He also knew alot about the island and its history. He also made the best rum punch. (best we had while on the island for a week) BEST DAY WE HAD ON VACAY. Highly recommend this company for your boat day needs and ask for Brian.

What a great time we had. Wedding went well, and the snorkeling at water island. They took us where we saw sea turtles and stingrays. The captain and Rachel we such great hosts, so attentive and just so nice. We all enjoyed our half day tour. Can’t say enough good things about them!

We spent half day celebrating our friends one-year Wedding Anniversary on Pisces catamaran! It was such an amazing time; Captain Connor and his first mate Chelsea were excellent! It was tranquil and quite relaxing; I will certainly use them again when ever my family and friends visit us in St. Thomas! I will also recommend Seas the Day Charters and Tours to my Airbnb guests!

What an incredible day!! Captan Bryan is amazing and probably the best captain we’ve ever had! He listened to basically what we wanted to do and then crafted the itinerary to perfection. We circumnavigated St. John and he took us to some of the most beautiful spots for snorkeling and just relaxing in the water. His superb timing got us to Lime Out for lunch at JUST the right time to secure us the best Lilly pad in the house! He was personal and informative and took the trip (which would have been great by itself) to the next level. Highly recommend!!

We had an absolutely fabulous day with Glenn! Truly, it could not have been better! Glenn is a very experienced sailor and very knowledgeable about the Caribbean. He is also a great guy and we all thoroughly enjoyed hanging with him for the day. We snorkeled at several great spots in the BVI, visited Willie T's and Soggy Dollar.

Whenever we visit St John "Boat Day" is always everyone's favorite day of the the vacation. This year was fabulous! We are a 3 generation family of 11 with six kids ages 9 and under. Captain Alex and First mate Aaron found out exactly what we like to do and they made it happen. The snorkeling was amazing, lunch from the pizza boat was delicious and fun and the time out on the water all day cannot be beat. Thank you Seas the Day and especially to Alex and Aaron. Our day really could not have been better!!!

An amazing experience to St. John! We went to snorkel at 2 different places that were both beautiful! Captain Greg and Coleman were amazing and so nice. They answered all of our many questions about the island and gave us the best information. They were so knowledgeable! We never felt rushed and we felt like they wanted to give us the best experience possible. The boat was so clean and the snorkeling gear was great. Very professional. This is the charter to book!

What yacht charter are you looking for?

Us virgin island yacht charter.

A yacht charter in the US Virgin Islands is a fantastic way to explore the beauty of the Caribbean, and getting to the USVI is so easy, with direct connections from many major US Cities. Fly directly into St. Thomas and start your charter from Charlotte Amalie Harbor.

Nearby, St. John offers top-notch snorkeling at Trunk Bay, dubbed one of the world’s most picturesque beaches , and upscale vibes at Caneel Bay.

Down south in St. Croix, Christiansted offers cool colonial architecture and a lively scene, while Fredericksted is perfect for sunset views and calm dives.

You can also jump across to the British Virgin Islands . It’s just a short sail to Tortola and Virgin Gorda, where the iconic Baths National Park awaits.

Several Yachts docked at Yacht Haven Marina USVI

Note that not all charter yachts have permits to cruise in the BVI , so make sure you check this with your broker beforehand.

As for the types of yachts, you have a range from sailing yachts and catamarans to motor yachts , with catamarans being particularly popular for their stability, spaciousness, and affordability.

We have also seen a growing demand for luxury experiences , which has brought bigger and more luxurious motor yachts to the USVI. These yachts offer high-end amenities like Jacuzzis , spas, gyms, and l arge selections of water toys like jet skis and even mini submersibles, essentially serving as floating luxury hotels.

Note: while the BVI has a ban on Jet Skis, the USVI does not!!

Why Charter in the US Virgin Islands?

Turtle in clear water in the USVI

World-Class Diving & Snorkeling

The US Virgin Islands are world famous for their clear, turquoise water, ideal for underwater exploration. There is a lot to see: vibrant coral reefs teeming with fish, turtles, rays, and reef sharks.

Chartering one of our many yachts featuring onboard scuba gear gives you easy access to some of the best dive sites in the Caribbean , including iconic locations like Trunk Bay , Buck Island , and the RMS Rhone wreck .

If diving isn’t your cup of tea, the shallow waters of the Virgin Islands are also perfect for snorkeling or even exploring the reef from the comfort of a paddleboard.

US Virgin Yacht Charters with Scuba Gear

island yacht charters st thomas

The Caribbean’s Biggest Yacht Selection

The US Virgin Islands offer a diverse selection of crewed yachts , including catamarans , motor yachts , and  superyachts . The only place that really compares is the Mediterranean, but on this side of the Atlantic, the US Virgin Islands are ahead.

The US  Virgin Islands is especially a popular destination for luxury travel, and in the last few years, we have seen a significant increase in larger motor yachts to satisfy the many who are seeking a more extravagant charter vacation.

(The USVI holds one major advantage over the BVI: Its water is much deeper , allowing for larger yachts. This is why almost all larger motor yachts are based in the USVI , even those that charter in the BVI.)

island yacht charters st thomas

Itineraries inc. both USVI & BVI

Our yacht charters in the Virgin Islands often combine both the US and British Virgin Islands , offering a diverse itinerary and the chance to see more amazing destinations.

Starting and ending in Yacht Haven Grand on St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands, charterers can hop across the border with a quick immigration check-in and explore popular destinations in the BVI, such as Norman Island , Tortola , Peter’s Island , and Virgin Gorda .

It’s worth noting that many larger yachts, even if chartered in the BVI, commence from Charlotte Amalie Harbor in the USVI, as the harbors in the BVI are too shallow to host large yachts.

Types of Charter Yachts in the US Virgin Islands

Catamarans

How to select the right yacht

When selecting a yacht, there are several factors that should be considered:

  • What is the right yacht speed for the itinerary you are planning?
  • Will your yacht be able to enter the British Virgin Islands territory?
  • What yacht is right for the Virgin Islands’ shallow waters?
  • What do you want in terms of onboard amenities and water toys?

Our Charter Brokers bring extensive firsthand experience, having served as crew members, captains, or chefs on yachts in the past. This knowledge equips them with the insight needed to assist you in making the perfect decision for your US Virgin Island yacht charter.

But let’s take a closer look at the different yacht types and their advantages:

Catamarans are the more affordable choice , offering more space compared to monohulls. Their shallow draft allows them to navigate in the shallow waters around the USVI and the BVI, significantly increasing their cruising grounds.

We are also seeing catamarans becoming bigger and more luxurious, and they are now starting to compare to some larger motor yachts in terms of space and amenities.

See all Catamarans →

island yacht charters st thomas

Motor yachts are the choice for those who wish to see more in a shorter time . The higher speed of motor yachts gives you more flexibility, and you can simply fit more into your itinerary.

You can find motor yachts of all sizes, ranging from small motorboats suitable for bareboat charters to mega superyachts with luxurious amenities like jet skis , Jacuzzis , scuba gear , and onboard cinemas.

See all Motor Yachts →

island yacht charters st thomas

Sailing Yachts

Sailing yachts are also available and are a great option for those who wish for a more traditional experience with sailing in focus—the weather conditions are definitely ideal for it!

But sailing yachts also do come with some limitations, as the water in the Virgin Islands, especially in the British Virgin Islands, is very shallow , and monohulls generally are deep drafted , limiting where they can go and how close to the beaches they can anchor.

See all Sailing Yachts →

island yacht charters st thomas

APA vs All-Inclusive Yacht Charters

When planning to charter a catamaran in the US Virgin Islands, there are two main options to consider: APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) yacht charters and All-Inclusive yacht charters .

When choosing between an APA yacht charter and an all-inclusive yacht charter, clients should consider their desired level of customization , budget flexibility, and overall vacation experience. Both options offer unique advantages, and understanding the regional differences in the Mediterranean and Caribbean will help clients make an informed decision to ensure an unforgettable yachting vacation.

APA YACHT CHARTER

An APA yacht charter is popular for clients seeking a customized, high-end experience. In this charter arrangement, the client pays a base fee for the yacht rental and crew. On top of this base fee, an advance provisioning allowance (APA) is added, typically around 20-30% of the yacht’s base rental cost. This APA is intended to cover expenses such as food, beverages, fuel, marina fees, and any other costs that might arise during the charter.

ALL-INCLUSIVE YACHT CHARTER

In contrast, an all-inclusive yacht charter offers a hassle-free experience with a set price that covers all expenses related to the yacht, crew, food, beverages, and activities. Clients can relax and enjoy their vacation without worrying about additional costs or budgeting for unexpected expenses. Nevertheless, the issues are the same as in a luxury All-inclusive resort – you can’t have a hot tub full of Moet…

Where to Go on a US Virgin Islands Yacht Charter

Out of the many places we offer yacht charters, we are confident in claiming that the US Virgin Islands (USVI) offer some of the most sought-after destinations in the Caribbean . From the natural beauty of St. John , with its secluded beaches, lush hillsides, and captivating hiking trails, to the vibrant culture of St. Thomas , home to the bustling capital of Charlotte Amalie , there is something for every craving.

There remember, there is also the option to expand your cruising ground to include the British Virgin Islands next door, with famous destinations such as the Baths National Park on Virgin Gorda, Tortola Island, Jost Van Dyke, and many more.

Contact one of our expert brokers to learn more about what yachts have the paperwork to cruise between the two island groups.

Our recommended USVI-BVI Charter Itinerary

STARTING AND ENDING IN ST. THOMAS

DAY 1 | Yacht Haven Grand – Trunk Bay, St. John

DISTANCE: 12nm DURATION: 1 hour

A jewel in the crown of the US Virgin Islands National Park, Trunk Bay is forever collecting accolades for being one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Backed by dark green forests that run down to meet the satin-colored sands and the endless hues of blue, Trunk Bay is perfect for dropping anchor with a rum in hand or ducking underwater to follow the coral trail.

There’s something about Trunk Bay that seems gloriously untouched. The coral trail runs on for 225 yards and teems with coral and colored fish.

For those who prefer to prop up on the sands, the beach is well served with sun chairs, food and drink stands, and everything you need to stay put in paradise all day.

Trunk Bay, St. John

DAY 2 | Trunk Bay – Tortola Island

DISTANCE: 11nm DURATION: 1 hour

Tortola is the largest island of the British Virgin Islands and is one of the best-known yacht spots in the Caribbean.

The busy harbor at Cane Garden Bay is the charter boat capital of the Caribbean, and with good reason—along with some interesting ruins and the fabulous National Park at the top of Mount Sage, Tortola offers spectacular powdery white, sandy beaches, wonderful snorkeling opportunities, and fantastic restaurants and bars that serve local brew.

A visit to the Callwood Rum Distillery and a stroll around Craft’s Alive Village for souvenir shopping are musts.

Also don’t miss a visit to Smuggler’s Cove, a perfect shallow reef ideal for scuba beginners and untouched by civilization.

island yacht charters st thomas

DAY 3 | Tortola Island – The Baths, Virgin Gorda

DISTANCE: 10nm DURATION: 1 hour

The unrivaled star of the Virgin Gorda – The Baths is a fairytale destination for any yacht charter crowd.

As one of the best beaches in the Caribbean, you will love this landscape of pink granite slabs, hidden coves, cathedral-like caves, and shimmering saltwater pools, all perched on the edge of the sea.

The boulders have been adorned with ladders and ropes so you can climb and cross this natural obstacle course.

Wallow in the warm rock water pools, soak up the sun on your favourite boulder, and be enchanted by the natural grottos.

When you need a hint of refreshment, the nearby yacht club will tempt you in with long lavish lunches and afternoons being pampered at the spa.

island yacht charters st thomas

DAY 4 | The Baths – Anegada Island

DISTANCE: 23nm DURATION: 2 hour

Anegada is a coral island and the northernmost island of the BVI group. It should not be missed thanks to its beautiful white sand beaches, quaint beach shacks, and the large horseshoe-shaped reef that protects its immaculate shores.

This unique island is the only inhabited island in the British Virgin Islands that is not volcanic. This low-lying island, with the highest point of only 28 ft (8.5m), is made up of coral and limestone and is surrounded by one of the world’s largest reefs.

The island is also known for its large salt ponds which used to be home to thousands of flamingos which were caught for food and their feathers during the 19th & 20th centuries. They have recently been re-introduced to the island and the population is flourishing. Anegada also boasts several species of turtles and the endangered rock iguana.

island yacht charters st thomas

DAY 5 | Anegada Island – Dog Island

DISTANCE: 17nm DURATION: 1.5 hour

Named by sailors who would pass through these parts and assume that the noise of barking seals was actually dogs, Dog Island boasts five uninhabited islands sitting west of the Virgin Gorda.

George Dog offers a national trust mooring, and with exceptional visibility, a movie-set-like backdrop, and a local favorite lunch spot, it’s a must for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts.

Beneath the blue, you can swim alongside rays, garden eels, the brightest shoals of fish, and wise old turtles.

The other dogs have no real beaches to speak of, but for those who want to visit a number of top-tier snorkelling spots, including Bronco Billy, which is rumored to be a favorite of Jacque Cousteau’s, the dogs are a dream

island yacht charters st thomas

DAY 6 | Dog Island – Jost Van Dyke

DISTANCE: 18nm DURATION: 1.5 hour

Named after an early Dutch settler, Jost Van Dyke is a small picturesque island northwest of Tortola. At 4 miles long, the island is home to only a few hundred permanent residents and is known for its idyllic yacht anchorages.

Connect yourself with the local culture at White Bay – a magical place of positive energy in BVI yacht charters and a famous meeting place for sailors.

Swim from your boat to the famous Soggy Dollar bar for a painkiller. Hang out in the hammock in Hendo’s Hideout, get a roti or seafood, and relax on the beach. Weekends are more party-like, with day trips from USVI filling the beach bars.

island yacht charters st thomas

DAY 7 | Dog Island – Cruz Bay, St. John

DISTANCE: 7nm DURATION: 40 min

Cruz Bay is the perfect place to finish off a Virgin Island yacht charter for those who are craving a little civilization after the serene anchors at some of the Virgin Islands’ most remote cays. The main town on the island is where you will find a wealth of ritzy restaurants, boutique shops, buzzing bars, and high-class hotels.

As the largest commercial hub on St John’s and with over two-thirds of the island being a national park, this is where the action and cultural offerings are centered. Guests can catch local art and history at the Elaine Ione Sprauve Museum.

For those who want to follow their passion for outdoor pursuits, there’s snorkeling at the nearby Hawksnest Bay and 4X4 land adventures by jeep.

Our Favorite Destinations in the US Virgin Islands

White beach and turquoise water in Maho Bay, US Virgin Island, with a green forest in the back.

Located on the northern shores of St. John, Maho Bay offers a serene retreat for yacht charters seeking respite in the beautiful nature. With its turquoise water and white beach voted “Visitor’s Favorite Beach ,” Maho Bay provides an ideal setting for both relaxation and exploration.

The water is shallow (between 3 to 10 feet deep) , giving snorkelers easy access to the coral, which includes species such as purple sea fans, sponges, anemones, and hard corals like Mustard coral, brain corals, and Elkhorn. You will also find a diverse fish life , with many varieties of wrasse, damsel, tangs, parrot fish, angelfish, and lionfish.

Along the western shoreline between Maho and Cinnamon Bay , you will also find excellent snorkeling opportunities, with coral and fish becoming more plentiful further from the beach. Snorkeling in shallow waters ranging from 3 to 12 feet deep, even novice snorkelers can enjoy a variety of marine life. While snorkeling, keep an eye out for Nurse sharks , which are slow-moving and not a threat but should not be disturbed.

St. Thomas Yacht Charter Enquiry

There are no words to express how wonderful everything was. To begin, the crew was adorable. They were very discreet, which is very important, they were not often seen. Very polite and proper, but the best was their desire to please. The comfort of the boat was amazing. I have chartered many times and had never seen such spacious bathrooms. I loved it, closets and everything. There is different spaces to be in and people can relax alone which is most necessary. The only thing I would criticise is that there is no good area to sun bathe, the upper part with the spa pool is not very practical, but other than that everything was amazing. It was an amazing vacation and I thank you for that because you had a lot to do with it. We are both very grateful for all that you did. We shall be in touch for sure.

Here is a sample itinerary so you can start dreaming about your US Virgin Islands sailing charter.  Why wait, contact us and let us help you plan your USVI yacht charter

Caneel Bay

Welcome aboard! Boarding times vary on the charter company. When you are ready to depart, you can enjoy a lovely sail over to Caneel Bay on St John, which is a perfect stop for an overnight for your first evening on board. This is a beautiful bay to enjoy an evening walk along the beach and enjoy some sundowners on the deck before dinner!

Trunk Bay, St John, United States Virgin Islands.

Wake up at your leisure and enjoy your coffee on the bow, take in the beautiful morning vistas. If you are feeling energetic, enjoy a quiet paddleboard along the shallow shores and experience the tranquillity of the Caribbean morning.  After breakfast, set sail and head to the famous Trunk Bay to explore the underwater world before lunch. Then off to Francis Bay or a little further east to Waterlemon Cay, Leinster Bay, St John, for the night. There are some great trails onshore to stretch out your sea legs, particularly the trail up to the Annaberg Plantation, which is in great condition and takes you back to the days of milling sugar cane to make rum.

USVI Itineraries - Horizon Yacht Charters

In the morning, there is plenty of time for a lovely snorkel before you head off to Coral Harbor, located on the South-Eastern side of St John. Here, there is a fun, floating taco bar serving amazing tacos, you can dine in one of their large floating tables, pick up and dine on board or they will deliver to your yacht. If you head ashore to walk around, you will find the Calabash Market, in Johnson Bay where there are some souvenir shops, pottery shops and some clothing stores to browse around.  Lots of fun and good restaurants for dinner options too or have a short afternoon sail around to Hansen Bay for your overnight.

Lameshur Bay in the United States Virgin Islands

After breakfast, a nice short sail around the south point of St John to the turtle viewing hotspot – Lameshur Bay National Park. There is a great walking trail/hike called the Yawzi Point Trail for you to enjoy and stretch your legs. If the weather is good, you can head to a bay around the corner called Genti Bay and explore some more sugar mill ruins. If not, then a taxi can be arranged if you would like to see this historical site.   Head to Great Cruz Bay for your overnight anchorage.

PizzaPi

Today would be a great day to take in some of the beautiful sites of St John – either taxi over or sail around to Cruz Bay which is the heart of St John.  Normally hustling and bustling with cruise ship activity, it is so quiet without the ships in port at the moment, a perfect time to go ashore! We can arrange an island tour for you to enjoy some of the beautiful National Parks sites that St John has to offer. This would be a great time to get some shopping in, and sample some of the local VI cultures and have a lovely lunch or dinner ashore or have a gentle afternoon sail across to overnight at Christmas Cove on Great Saint James Island, which homes the famous and award-winning floating restaurant Pizza Pi that serves amazing homemade Italian pizzas! Something different to see, for sure.

Famous 99 Steps in Charlotte Amalie

Sail to Water Island, which gets its name from being one of the few places in the Caribbean with freshwater ponds where sailing vessels of old could replenish their freshwater casks. You can get a ferry ashore to Crown Bay Marina if you would like to explore historical Frenchtown and Charlotte Amalie – also renowned for fabulous shopping and restaurants.  Or spend the day exploring by dinghy (but watch out for traffic in this busy area), getting yourself ready to think about packing up the boat to head back to the Marina.

Sail back to base to complete your charter, have your debrief and hand over the yacht, getting ready to head back to the Cyril E King Airport for the flight home (no further PCR tests are required for entry back to the US from the USVI).

This itinerary can be extended a few days to allow time to sail and explore Hans Lollik Island and Little Hans Lollik on the North of St Thomas; the beautiful Magen’s Bay, St Thomas and for the more adventurous sail west to the beautiful Spanish Virgin Islands of Culebra (where you will clear Customs), Culebrita, and Vieques.  Or sail South to the beautiful island of St Croix – or do both!

Tips when renting a St. Thomas yacht charter

We love the U.S. Virgin Islands, and since we offer so many options for yacht rentals in St. Thomas here, we thought we’d include some helpful tips for you to keep in mind before visiting.

When traveling to any Caribbean sailing vacations destination, it’s important to remember to account for the weather. While renting a sailboat charter in the USVI are beautiful year round, the most popular time to go for the most ideal sailing conditions is March through June. You can visit earlier in the year for cooler temperatures, but any later than June and your trip will be more at-risk for adverse weather, like tropical storms and even hurricanes.

We also suggest communicating with the owner to get even more information about your St Thomas yacht charter, catamaran or sailboat rental as well as tips for your visit. The “Message Owner” button will allow you to email directly with the boat representative about the extras suggested to make your trip a lifetime memory for your family or friends (such as transportation to and from the port, snorkeling gear, etc.). They can even share their tips for places to visit and the time of year to book your trip.

Also keep in mind that Sailo offers weekly St. Thomas boat charters in order to allow you enough time to explore all of the hidden gems and major tourist destinations this place has to offer. A week may sound like a long time to spend at sea if it’s your first time sailing, but trust us. Once your trip begins, you’ll never want to leave!
