Virgin Islands Yacht Charter Guide

The US Virgin Islands (USVI) and British Virgin Islands (BVI) are a paradise of blue seas and white sands, colourful marine life, and – as the most developed of the Caribbean Islands – sophisticated dining and shopping opportunities. Whether this is your first yacht charter, or you are one of the many returning visitors to the islands, your charter to the USVI will be an unforgettable experience. Two international airports and an array of local charter yachts make the logistics of your trip simple. Choose from a number of itineraries to suit your desires and budgets, and we will make it happen in the Virgin Islands.

The Island of Tortola was discovered by Christopher Columbus in the late 1400s. Here you can undertake a challenging hike through the rainforest up Sage Mountain, a great spot for bird watching, or gazing out over Tortola and the nearby islands. A favourite excursion, that can be included in your yacht charter, is a trip to Virgin Gorda. A cruise along the Sir Francis Drake Channel brings you to this Spanish Town. Anchor in the harbour by the world-famous Bitter End Yacht club, then head ashore to swim in The Baths amounts boulders, and hidden sea caves – a unique experience! Top the day off with a Painkiller cocktail from Pusser’s Landing – order a level four if you dare!

The smallest of the four main BVI, Jost van Dyke is another popular yachting destination. Although there are only 25 permanent residents, JvD is one of the liveliest of the islands. With five restaurants in Great Harbour alone, you can be sure of a great lobster dinner. The welcoming atmosphere of Foxy’s Tamarind Beach Bar has persisted for generations of rum-punch lovers and reggae singers.

In the USVI the Yacht Haven Grande marina is a must – a world-class marina where stunning boats can always be seen, with fantastic amenities and entertainment. With excellent shopping a short walk from the marina, and the airport just 15 minutes away, this is the perfect place to begin or end a luxury charter in the USVI. If you want to get away from the crowds, your charter yacht can take you to the island of St. John – a protected national park where hiking and snorkeling are the things to do. Trails meander through the lush vegetation and cacti, past disused sugar mills and overlooking stunning views of the beaches and mountains. On this island, even the snorkeling has guided trails, with underwater signposts so you never have to so much as lift your head.
