Choosing a Delta Marine for a crewed charter in Saint Thomas sets a clear expectation from the outset. The yard’s output ranges from fast motor yachts to displacement cruisers, and all share an attention to systems engineering and interior detailing that makes them well-suited to extended Caribbean programmes. In Saint Thomas, where anchoring depths are manageable and passages between islands are short, the yacht’s build quality shows in the ease of daily operations.
The Virgin Islands fleet includes around 3 Delta Marine yachts, giving guests meaningful choice on size and layout. Whether the priority is a fast hull for covering ground between the USVI and BVI in a single tide, or a wide aft deck and beach club setup for days spent at anchor, there is a Delta Marine specification to match. Crew numbers typically run to five or six, with a chef who provisions from the local markets in St Thomas or Road Town.
Charter rates for a Delta Marine in Saint Thomas start from around 40,000 euros per week for a well-maintained older example and rise to 220,000 euros or more for the newest launches. The advance provisioning allowance of approximately thirty percent covers fuel between the islands, daily catering, marina fees and the drinks package. Late bookings in the shoulder season, November and May, occasionally open strong availability at reduced rates.
From Saint Thomas, the standard Virgin Islands itinerary heads east through Christmas Cove and across Pillsbury Sound to the Sir Francis Drake Channel. Norman Island, the Bight and The Caves mark the western BVI before the route continues to Virgin Gorda’s North Sound and Anegada’s flat anchorage. Returning via Tortola, Cane Garden Bay and the mooring field off Jost Van Dyke, most charters end in Cruz Bay or Charlotte Amalie with a final night aboard before disembarkation.
