Discover the Ultimate US Virgin Islands Yacht Vacation
Ever wondered what a private yacht charter in the US Virgin Islands might look like? You’ve come to the right place! With the islands fully reopening in Spring 2021, bookings in this stunning corner of the Caribbean are expected to soar.
Our USVI Sample Itinerary
Though the US Virgin Islands consist of many smaller islands, the most popular are St. Thomas, St. Croix, and the exclusive St. John. Most charters begin from St. Thomas, which offers direct flights from the U.S. From there, your journey is entirely your own. You can enjoy the freedom, luxury, and variety the Caribbean has to offer.
The USVI has something for everyone: peaceful anchorages, vibrant ports, world-class restaurants, spas, shops, and a rich mix of local culture, history, and natural beauty. To make planning easier, our Expert Brokers have crafted this sample eight-day itinerary.
Day 1: Arrival in St. Thomas
Arrive at St. Thomas to meet your yacht and crew at Crown Bay Marina, Yacht Haven Grande in Charlotte Amalie, or Red Hook, depending on your rendezvous. You may enjoy an alfresco lunch at one of the marina’s restaurants, overlooking the clear water and lively docks. Then, set sail! A short cruise brings you to Honeymoon Bay on Water Island. Spend the afternoon swimming, relaxing, or exploring the island via your tender.
Day 2: Magen’s Bay Adventure
Wake up at Honeymoon Bay feeling refreshed. Your crew prepares breakfast before sailing to Magen’s Bay Beach. Here, you can enjoy water skiing, wakeboarding, or lounging on the white sandy beach. For a touch of adventure, hike inland to admire the island’s lush plant life. You can stay all day, as the beauty of this bay is hard to leave behind.
Day 3: Explore St. John
Sail to St. John, anchoring at Cruz Bay or Caneel Bay. Much of St. John is protected National Park land, offering countless hiking trails and breathtaking natural scenery. Snorkel along the trail at Trunk Bay for an underwater adventure. Cruz Bay also has an arts district with galleries and unique local pieces. For shopping and dining, visit Mongoose Junction for a curated experience of the island’s best offerings.
Day 4: More of St. John or Beyond
Spend another day on St. John to soak in more of its beauty. We can assist with rental cars to explore further. Alternatively, sail to Flanagan Island or Coral Bay. Flanagan is perfect for snorkeling among diverse marine life, while Coral Bay offers a quirky, historic vibe, once home to pirates and free spirits.
Day 5: Cruise to St. Croix
As your St. John stay ends, set sail for St. Croix. The journey is a relaxing blue-water cruise, giving you time to enjoy the luxury of your yacht. Arrive in Christiansted at sunset. Stroll along the boardwalk, window-shop, or enjoy the island’s vibrant live music scene. History enthusiasts can visit a nearby fort and museum.
Day 6: Buck Island or Teague Bay
Sail to Buck Island National Park for snorkeling among coral reefs and underwater gardens. Alternatively, stop at Teague Bay, home to St. Croix Yacht Club, a golf course, and other leisure activities. Both options promise excitement and natural beauty.
Day 7: Return to St. Thomas
Enjoy breakfast on deck or a morning walk on a pristine beach before sailing back to St. Thomas. Lounge in the sun with a cool drink as you near your final anchorage. Celebrate your last evening with a sunset cocktail and a gourmet dinner prepared by your onboard chef, with the island lights as a sparkling backdrop.
Day 8: Farewell
Wake up with memories to last a lifetime. Enjoy one last breakfast prepared by your crew before bidding farewell and returning home.
