Amazing yacht charters in U.S Virgin Islands

The United States Virgin Islands are a jewel in the Caribbean Virgin Islands, a leeward island chain with an almost South Pacific charm to it.

It's easy to see why the US Virgin Islands are nicknamed 'America's Paradise', with deep blues and vibrant greens adding zest to the perfect yachting conditions, stretching from remote St Croix to Charlotte Amalie and the Virgin Islands National Park on St John.

Temperatures range from 25ºC to 30ºC all year round!

Easy access from major US cities makes the Virgin Islands even more attractive, while navigation is simple, with easy passages that suit all experience levels.

In the USVI, you’ll find gentle and near constant winds most of the year, calm Caribbean sea and simple line-of-sight navigation. Blissful!

Things to do on a US Virgin Islands Yacht Charter

  • Explore the National Park on St John: Take your pick of some of the finest beaches in the USVIs and quiet overnight anchorages.
  • Discover Magens Bay, St Thomas: Head to this immense mile-long, white sand beach, one of the island’s most popular. Make sure you get there early!
  • Visit the many beautiful bays - from Cruz Bay and Trunk Bay (St John) to Buck Island (just off Saint Croix), Honeymoon Beach and Caneel Bay.
  • Dine at Zozo’s, Lovango Cay, Saint John: Find peace and quiet here, enjoy great food and watch the awesome sunset.
  • Snorkel Watermelon Cay: Enjoy the warm waters or, if you feel energetic, hike to Annaberg ruins, a sugar plantation.
  • Experience pizza with a difference: On Great St James, at Christmas Cove, which is only accessible by boat, you will find floating restaurant Pizza Pi. Don’t miss it while on your Virgin Island yacht charter vacation.

When is the best time to visit?

The best time to visit the US Virgin Islands is between December and May when trade winds are the most steady and temperatures are comfortable, although the USVIs have pleasant weather for most of the year.

Temperatures in the USVIs are around 75°F to 82°F all year round. August, September and October are the warmest months with hardly any wind, which makes it feel even hotter. The low season is summer time when it is less crowded. The hurricane season is between June and October.
