A Ocean Alexander charter in Saint Thomas draws on a shipyard whose commitment to long-range cruising capability has shaped some of the best-known charter yachts currently working the Caribbean. The vessels are built to cover distance efficiently, which matters in a charter ground as spread as the Virgin Islands, where the BVI, USVI, Puerto Rico and St Maarten are all within range of a single extended itinerary.
4 Ocean Alexander yachts currently charter in the Virgin Islands, representing a good cross-section of the yard’s recent output. Deck arrangements tend to prioritise outdoor entertaining, with beach clubs or fold-down terraces that open directly to the waterline, making the transition between yacht and sea immediate and unhurried. Below decks, guest cabins are well-proportioned, and crew quarters are separated from guest areas so that rest and privacy are maintained at anchor.
Weekly rates for a Ocean Alexander in Saint Thomas span roughly 50,000 to 200,000 euros depending on length, build year and the owner’s commercial strategy. The advance provisioning allowance, typically thirty percent, covers fuel for the inter-island passages, daily catering sourced from St Thomas or Road Town, marina charges and the drinks package. The Christmas and New Year period commands a premium and books out twelve to eighteen months in advance.
From Saint Thomas, the natural progression is east into the Drake Channel, anchoring off Norman Island before moving north to Virgin Gorda’s Baths and North Sound. Anegada sits two to three hours north of Virgin Gorda and rewards the extra passage with a lobster dinner on the beach and a flat overnight anchorage. The return south via Tortola, Jost Van Dyke and Cane Garden Bay closes a circuit that uses the trade winds efficiently in both directions.
