Gulf Craft yachts have earned their charter reputation through a combination of precise engineering and thoughtfully designed living spaces. Choosing a Gulf Craft for a Virgin Islands programme means every anchorage in Saint John is approached aboard a vessel built to a consistently high standard, with crew accommodation and systems designed for extended offshore passages.
Around 3 Gulf Craft yachts are currently available for charter in the Virgin Islands. The fleet spans a range of lengths, giving guests the option of an intimate four-cabin layout or a larger vessel that comfortably accommodates extended families. Crew complements are professional and experienced in Caribbean waters, and toy packages typically include jet skis, paddleboards and dive equipment.
Weekly charter rates for a Gulf Craft yacht in Saint John start from around 45,000 euros and climb above 180,000 euros for the larger examples. An advance provisioning allowance of roughly thirty percent covers fuel, food, berthing and drinks. The peak Caribbean season runs from December through April, with slightly more flexibility on availability and pricing during November and May.
From Saint John, most Gulf Craft charters follow the classic Virgin Islands route: Christmas Cove and St James Bay on the first day, then north through the Sir Francis Drake Channel to Norman Island and the Bight, on to Virgin Gorda’s North Sound and the Baths, with a night off Jost Van Dyke and a final anchorage off Peter Island or Salt Island. The consistent trade winds and short inter-island passages suit the pace and range of a crewed motor yacht perfectly.
