Virgin Islands Charter Itinerary

Virgin Islands Itinerary

Virgin Islands Yacht Charter
Two thirds of St John is national park, donated by Laurance Rockefeller in 1956 on the condition it stay that way, and it has. That single decision is why the US Virgin Islands still hold beaches with nothing behind them but forest.





This route stays American: St Thomas, St John, and the long crossing south to St Croix, which sits alone on its own bank and feels like a different country. Reef, wreck, sea turtle and sugar-mill ruin, in roughly that order.





Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain who knows the cove worth the detour. That freedom is the point of chartering. What follows is one considered way to read the US Virgin Islands; the rest we tailor to you.

Day 1

Caneel Bay & Maho Bay

Cross from St Thomas to St John and anchor at Caneel, seven beaches on a single point inside the park. Then Maho, where the seagrass runs right to the sand and green turtles graze it within a few metres of the shore. Paddleboard above them. Sunset cocktails, and the forest going loud at dusk.
Day 2

Waterlemon Cay

Snorkel Whistling Cay in the morning ’ the reef here is in good condition and the current does the swimming for you. At Waterlemon, the cay is ringed by coral and starfish sit on the sand in the shallows. Walk up to the Annaberg ruins, a sugar mill worked by enslaved people, presented plainly and worth the climb.
Day 3

Coral Bay

Newfound Bay first, where the crew may take Caribbean spiny lobster off the reef if the season allows. Then round to Coral Bay, which is where the people who came to St John and never left actually live. Tacos at the floating bar, or Salt Pond and the walk out to Ram’s Head for the sunset.
Day 4

St Croix

Forty miles south across open water to St Croix, the largest and least visited of the three. Buck Island has an underwater trail through elkhorn coral, and the North Shore wall drops into deep blue. Ashore: Danish colonial streets in Christiansted, a rainforest, and a bar where the pigs drink beer.
Day 5

Magens Bay

Back north to St Thomas and Magens Bay, a mile-long crescent on the north shore that appears on every list of the world’s best beaches and handles the attention gracefully. The bay is protected and flat: waterski, wakeboard, or tube behind the tender. Ashore, the island’s interior is steep and worth a drive.
Day 6

Turtle Cove

The Cartanza Senior is a freighter sunk deliberately off Buck Island, St Thomas, and now furred with coral and full of fish. Dive or snorkel it. Then Turtle Cove itself, where the green turtles are habituated and unbothered. A sunset cruise along the south shore, and a farewell dinner at anchor.
Day 7

Charlotte Amalie

Return to St Thomas and Charlotte Amalie, a Danish colonial port turned duty-free shopping street, with Fort Christian in red stone above it since 1672. Take a last swim somewhere quieter, then breakfast on deck and the harbour filling with cruise ships you have spent a week comprehensively avoiding.
