Perini Navi yachts carry a reputation earned through decades of building vessels that perform as well as they look. In Saint John, that translates to a charter experience where everything works, from the stabilisers that keep the aft deck level in an Atlantic swell to the chilled provisions waiting in the galley. The yard’s engineers and designers produce a yacht that handles the sea without drama.
The Virgin Islands fleet currently includes around 7 Perini Navi yachts available for crewed charter. Sizes span the typical charter range of 40 to 70 metres, with layouts covering everything from a focused couples retreat to a multi-family booking with eight guests and separate crew deck. All carry water toys as standard, and most offer dedicated dive storage and a substantial tender.
Charter rates for a Perini Navi in Saint John reflect the brand’s market position. Entry-level examples start around 45,000 euros per week in low season, with larger or newer vessels reaching 250,000 euros or more during the Christmas and New Year peak. Plan the advance provisioning allowance at thirty percent of the base rate to cover fuel, catering, berthing in Road Town or Gustavia, and the daily drinks bill.
Saint John sits between two of the best charter grounds in the Atlantic. Most itineraries open with a crossing to the British Virgin Islands and the relative calm of the Sir Francis Drake Channel, moving through the Bight at Norman Island, Virgin Gorda’s North Sound, and the overnight mooring field off Jost Van Dyke before returning south through Christmas Cove and finishing in Charlotte Amalie or Cruz Bay. Trade winds stay predictable throughout the core season.
