Gulf Craft of the United Arab Emirates produces fibreglass motor yachts from 20 to 40 metres designed for warm-water cruising with practical layouts and straightforward operation. Their boats are built for tropical conditions, with sun-resistant finishes, efficient cooling systems and exterior spaces that maximise time on deck. In the US Virgin Islands, Gulf Craft yachts suit couples and small groups wanting a self-contained Caribbean charter experience without the complexity and cost of a larger superyacht.
Three Gulf Craft yachts are available for charter from the US Virgin Islands, typically accommodating four to eight guests across two to four cabins. Flybridge designs are characteristic of the range, with elevated helming positions and generous cockpit seating suited to the USVI’s calm passages between St Thomas, St John and St Croix. Professional crews of two to three maintain efficient and friendly service throughout the week.
Weekly charter rates for Gulf Craft yachts in the USVI run from around 25,000 to 65,000 euros, with the advance provisioning allowance of 30 percent covering fuel, provisions, marina fees and drinks. The USVI winter charter season runs from October through April, and Gulf Craft availability is generally stronger here than in many other Caribbean markets due to the yards warm-water deployment focus.
From the US Virgin Islands, Gulf Craft yachts cover the USVI island group with ease and can cross into the BVI for a day excursion to The Baths or Jost Van Dyke, combining two territories within a single week’s charter itinerary.
