YOUR TIME IS VALUABLE, DON'T WASTE A MINUTE OF IT!

BEAUTIFUL NEW BOATS, IMPECCABLE MAINTENANCE, AND FRIENDLY, KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF

Virgin Islands Yacht Charters directly manages the charter fleet.  We are not a broker.  We do work with many reputable and trustworthy charter brokers who regularly book our boats and are familiar with our procedures and knowledgeable of the local cruising grounds.  At the same time, there are many brokers out there who know absolutely nothing about our fleet OR even the Virgin Islands themselves.  Please be aware. 

Catamarans are wonderfully spacious and provide ample area for moving around.  Whether it is in the cockpit or salon which spans over both hulls allowing for a larger area inside, the foredeck with the trampoline  for sun-tanning, or the great lounging area on the top deck you will enjoy the variety of ways to spend your day on the water.  Cats are much more stable than their counterparts which can be much better for new or inexperienced sailors who haven't quite found their sea legs yet or those who are prone to seasickness.   Two engines allow for greater maneuverability when in a marina or picking up mooring balls and thus, have gained popularity in recent years.  And, you will love the panoramic views!

What People Are Saying . . .

The Osborn Family

VIYC was one of the best charter companies we've used. They keep their word and honor their promises. They promptly fix stuff and immediately talk us through solvable problems. They know the boat, the waters, and sailing area, the culture.

Scuby's operations briefing was one of the best I've attended in my years of chartering.  

                                                                                                                                       ~Fred Osborn

I had the pleasure of chartering a yacht from Virgin Islands Yacht Charters out of Compass Point, St Thomas.  I have chartered numerous yachts over the years; as well as operated by own charter sailing yacht for five years.  Kristi and Jim, the owners, do an outstanding job of assuring the yacht is ready to go and in top shipshape.  Any follow up or support if needed is prompt and efficient.  I highly recommend Virgin Islands Yacht Charters.

Jim & Kristi,

Thanks so much for completing our experience. Our past charter experiences in the BVI were a mixed bag of paradise, apathetic service, and mechanically challenged yachts. God made the islands beautiful, you two made sailing them a pleasure by providing friendly service and an excellent line of yachts. This experience felt less like a charter and more like borrowing a great boat from old friends. 

We’ll be back…                                                                                          ~Rev. Seth Sundstrom

Terms and conditions, charter experts, llc terms & conditions.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (“ Terms ”) CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS AS WELL AS A SECTION GOVERNING THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF DISPUTES. THESE TERMS ALSO CONTAIN A LEGALLY BINDING RELEASE, WAIVER OF LIABILITY, AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK. By creating a username, a login, clicking submit, using the services of Charter Experts, LLC d/b/a Virgin Island Sailing® (“ Broker ) or by accessing Broker’s website, you agree that you have read, and acknowledge your acceptance of these Terms. The Terms are subject to change at any time without notice at Broker’s sole discretion. Additionally, any transaction for which you have made payment shall be governed by the form of Terms in effect at the time of such payment notwithstanding any subsequent changes hereto.

If you are obtaining a quote, information, booking travel for and/or securing or procuring a Charter (as that term is defined in Section 1 below) for more than just yourself, all references below to “Charterer” or “you” (and derivations thereof) shall be read to mean you on behalf of yourself and each individual within your group for whom you are obtaining a quote, information, booking travel for and/or securing or procuring Charter.

These Terms shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with any other agreement by or among Broker and Charterer. To the extent they cannot be so construed, then in the event of any direct conflict between these Terms and any other agreement by or among Broker and Charterer (including but not limited to the agreement executed by Charterer for a Charter Reservation (as that term is defined in Section 1 below), these Terms shall prevail.

• Prepaid Charter Reservations . Typically, Broker negotiates charter rates in advance with the yacht owner or charter company (“ Charter Provider ”) to obtain cost-effective rates, and facilitate reservations and availability for yacht charters, excursions and travel (the “ Charter ”). Broker also provides services to you by facilitating the booking of reservations for consideration and receives a commission from the Charter Provider (the “ Broker Fee ”). The Broker Fee is included in the pre-negotiated Charter rate provided to you, plus taxes and other fees where applicable. You agree that your payment is for the total amount set forth in the applicable Charter agreement (which Charter Provider may refer to as a Charter Contract, Charter Agreement, Booking Terms & Conditions, Instructions and Terms for Accommodations, as well as other derivations) provided to you by Broker (“ Charter Agreement ”). Upon execution of the Charter Agreement and receipt of the applicable deposit, you will have made a reservation for the Charter that authorizes Broker to facilitate the Charter on your behalf (“Charter Reservation”), including making payment arrangements with the Charter Provider. You further agree that Broker is a third-party beneficiary to the Charter Agreement and shall have the right to enforce such agreement to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights hereunder or under the Charter Agreement.

  Broker retains the Broker Fee as compensation in arranging your Charter Reservation. The Broker Fee varies based on the amount and type of Charter and/or services provided by Broker.  By making a Charter Reservation, you accept and agree to the relevant cancellation and no-show policy of the Charter Provider set forth in the Charter Agreement. Cancellation and no-show policies vary for each Charter. Carefully read the Charter Agreement and additional information provided to you by Broker. It is expressly agreed by Charterer that the Broker Fee is earned at the time the Charter Reservation is made. Late payment, wrong credit card or debit card details, invalid credit or debit cards, or insufficient funds are for your own risk and account, and you will not be entitled to any refund of any prepaid amount unless the Charter Provider expressly agrees otherwise under the Charter Agreement or in some other signed writing.

• Charter Rules and Restrictions . Additional terms and agreements will apply to your Charter Reservation and any purchase or rental of equipment or other items, supplies, provisions and travel you may select. Please read those additional terms carefully. In particular, if you have purchased airfare, please ensure that you read the full terms and conditions of carriage issued by the supplier. You agree to abide by the terms of purchase imposed by any supplier with whom you elect to deal, including but not limited to payment of all amounts when due and compliance with the supplier’s rules and restrictions regarding availability, charges, fares, and use of products and services.
• Payment . All payments must be made by personal check, bank/wire transfer, ACH payment and/or with a major credit card unless otherwise expressly stated. The total price for the Charter Reservation will be billed in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated. Some banks and credit card companies impose fees for international transactions. If you are making a reservation from outside of the United States on a US credit card, your bank may convert the payment amount to your local currency and charge you a conversion fee. This means the amount listed on your credit or bank card statement may be in your local currency and therefore a different figure than the amount provided by Broker for the Charter Reservation. In addition, a foreign transaction fee may be assessed if the financial institution that issued your credit card is located outside of the United States. Booking international travel may be considered to be an international transaction by the financial institution or card company. The currency exchange rate and foreign transaction fee is determined solely by your financial institution on the day that it processes the transaction. If you have any questions about these fees or the exchange rate applied to your booking, please contact your financial institution. Broker shall not be liable to you for any such service, conversion, or exchange fee.

  Broker expressly reserves the right to cancel your Charter Reservation if full payment is not timely received as set forth in the Charter Agreement.

• Cancellation and Rescheduling . You may cancel or change your Charter Reservation as set forth in the Charter Agreement by and among you, the Charter Provider and/or Broker. Please note that some Charter Providers do not permit changes to or cancellation of reservations after they are made, or after a certain date, as indicated in the Charter Agreement. You agree to abide by the terms of the Charter Agreement with respect to your Charter Reservation. Broker will not be responsible for reimbursing Charterer for any previously tendered deposits or payments by Charterer and disclaims all liability for the failure of a Charter Provider to refund or return any such funds.
• Credit Card Transactions and Chargebacks . If for any reason, any Charter Provider is unable to provide the Charter, or any part thereof, for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the Charter Provider, and not against Broker. However, Broker will use reasonable efforts to assist you and Charter Provider in reaching a resolution to a dispute between you and the Charter Provider. In the event that your payment has already been transferred from Broker to Charter Provider or to an escrow account, you agree that you will not seek a chargeback against Broker for such amounts transferred. You further agree to indemnify and hold Broker harmless from and against any liability, loss, damage or expense (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) that Broker may incur in connection with chargebacks against Broker or under the Charter Agreement and your performance thereunder. If Broker incurs any costs, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, to recover any payments charged back by your credit card company or other financial institution, you agree that you will be liable for these costs. If your payment is declined for any reason, you agree to settle any amounts owed to Broker via money order, cashier’s check, personal check or bank/ACH transfer immediately.
• Broker Responsibility . Broker makes arrangements with the Charter Provider. Broker additionally makes additional arrangements with other suppliers for the various components and other services that comprise your Charter (“Charter Suppliers”). Broker is not an agent of these Charter Providers or the Charter Suppliers (and the Charter Providers and Charter Suppliers are not agents of Broker). Broker expressly disclaims any liability for the actions or omissions of the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers. The Charter Providers and the Charter Suppliers reserve the right to refuse service to you at their sole discretion. Broker assumes no liability for the acts of the Charter Provider or the Charter Suppliers in refusing service. Broker is not responsible for schedule changes and does not offer compensation for those changes. Broker is not responsible under any circumstances for any injury or damages you may suffer, in connection with sea, air or ground transportation, hotel accommodations, or other travel or excursion services arranged by Broker.

  You understand Broker is not the source or supplier of the Charter or other travel services you requested and acts solely as a broker for the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers. You agree that the Charter Provider and Charter Suppliers whose names appear in the information supplied to you are those who are solely responsible for providing the Charter you purchase. You consent to and request the use of the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers and agree to not hold Broker responsible should any of them: (i) fail to provide the Charter or travel services you purchased, whether or not such services are listed in the Charter Agreement or otherwise, (ii) fail to comply with any applicable law, or (iii) engage in any negligent act or omission that causes you any sort of injury, damage, delay or inconvenience.

By using Broker’s services, you waive and release any claim against Broker, its affiliated and subsidiary companies, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents, arising out of or in connection with any loss of or damage to property or injury to any person caused by reason of (i) any defect, negligence, or other wrongful act or omission, or any failure of performance of any kind, by any Charter Provider, Charter Suppliers, or any other provider of sea, airline, hotel, ground transportation or any other travel provider connected to or otherwise associated with the Charter, (ii) any claim for inconvenience, loss of enjoyment, mental distress or other similar claim, (iii) any delayed departure, missed connection, substitute accommodation, termination of service or change in fares or rates, and (iv) overbooking, flight or other travel cancellation, lost or misconnected personal property, or any claim arising out of the air transportation portion of your travel, and (v) or any other claim arising out of or otherwise related to the Charter Agreement or services provided by the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers.

Excepting only liability that directly arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Broker, you will not hold Broker responsible for any injury, damage or loss you may suffer while on a Charter, whether incurred on the Charter or in connection with any other rental, purchase, excursion or activity, regardless of the relationship of any of the foregoing with the Charter Provider or the Charter Suppliers.

• Your Responsibility . By booking a Charter with Broker, you agree to defend and indemnify and hold harmless Broker, Charter Provider, Charter Suppliers, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, causes of action, demands, recoveries, losses, damages, fines, penalties or other costs or expenses of any kind or nature, including but not limited to reasonable legal fees, arising out of or in connection with: (i) your breach of these Terms or the documents referenced herein; (ii) your violation of any law or rights of a third party; or (iii) your use of the Broker website.

You will review your Charter Agreement and travel documents for accuracy upon receipt. You understand that it is your responsibility to review the accuracy of all details in the Charter Reservation provided to you, and that you may contact Broker if you have any questions.

You assume full and complete responsibility for checking and verifying any and all passport, visa, vaccination, or other entry requirements of your destination(s), and all conditions regarding health, safety, security, political stability, and labor or civil unrest at such destination(s).

You understand that Broker recommends purchasing travel insurance to cover certain risks inherent in travel such as supplier bankruptcy and the inability to travel due to a medical or personal emergency.

• No Warranties . All Charters, products, services, advice and information is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied to the fullest extent permitted under the law, including but not limited to, warranties of title or implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality or fitness for a particular purpose. Without limiting the above, no warranty or guarantee is made (i) regarding the acceptance of any reservation request or Charter Reservation; (ii) regarding the availability of Charters, or any other product and/or services through Broker; (iii) that the use of Broker’s website will be error-free; or (iv) regarding the completeness, accuracy, reliability or quality of any information, content, data, service, advice or merchandise provided by Broker or through Broker’s website.

Broker has no special knowledge regarding the Charter Provider’s or Charter Supplier’s financial condition, unsafe conditions, health hazards, weather hazards, or climate extremes at locations to which you may travel during or otherwise in connection with your Charter.

• Limitation on Liability . In no event shall Broker, Charter Provider, Charter Suppliers, and/or their respective affiliates, or any employees, agents, officers, directors, members or managers of any of the foregoing (“Broker and Charter Releasees”), be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special or consequential damages arising out of, or in any way connected with, your access to, display of or use the Broker’s website, the Charter or services provided to you in connection with the Charter (including, but not limited to, your reliance upon opinions of the Broker), whether based on a theory of negligence, contract, tort, strict liability, consumer protection statutes, or otherwise, and even if Broker and/or any other of the Broker and Charter Releasees have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

If, despite the limitation above, Broker or the Broker and Charter Releasees are found liable for any loss or damage which arises out of or in any way connected with any of the occurrences described above, then Broker, Charter Provider, Charter Supplier and the Broker and Charter Releasees will in no event exceed, in the aggregate, the greater of (a) the Broker Fee, and (b) One-Hundred Dollars (US $100.00).

The foregoing limitation of liability reflects the allocation of risk between the parties. The limitations specified in this section will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in these Terms is found to have failed of its essential purpose. The limitations of liability provided in these Terms inure to the benefit of Broker and/or its providers.

The foregoing does not affect any liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

• Limitation on Time to File Claims . ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF RELATING TO BROKER’S SERVICES OR THE WEBSITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
• Waiver . No waiver by Broker of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Broker to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
• Severability . If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect.
• Governing Law and Mandatory Venue . The laws of the State of Florida govern the rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement and the interpretation, construction and enforceability thereof. You agree that any action or proceeding initiated by Charterer against Broker shall be brought solely in the federal and state courts of Hillsborough County, Florida, and you submit to the jurisdiction of those courts and waive any objections to the exercise of personal jurisdiction over you by those courts. In the event any action or proceeding is initiated by Charterer in a court outside of Hillsborough County, Florida, Charterer agrees to pay Broker’s costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees associated with defending such action or proceeding and waives any and all defenses to the transfer of said action or proceeding, whether jurisdictional or otherwise, to a federal or state court in Hillsborough County, Florida.

St Thomas Yacht Charters

St. Thomas is one of the most popular islands in the U.S. Virgin Islands for sailboat, bareboat, and yacht charters. While sailing near this island you’ll be delighted by the warm winds, wildlife, and water so clear you can see the corals at the sea floor. When you take your first steps on land, you’ll be greeted with the bustling streets, island music, and eclectic eating for both first-time visitors and seasoned sailors of the Carribean. 12 Knots offers a variety of boat rental options beginning at St. Thomas. Before you travel to the island, here is what you should know:

Sailing Conditions in St. Thomas

St. Thomas is in a tropical climate with calm seas and consistent trade winds. Wind speeds near St. Thomas average at 10 to 20 knots year-round, and the average north-east swell is around 8–9 feet. Most sailors enjoy the hot and humid climate due to the consistent winds to help cool you off at peak hours. The primary weather concern for sailors is the rainfall and potential for summer and fall hurricanes.

Best Times to Vacation in St. Thomas

Winter and spring are the most comfortable and safest times to travel to St. Thomas for your sailing charter. Hurricane season falls between June and November, which promises the greatest rainfall and potentially hazardous conditions on the island. For this reason, it is advised to schedule your sailing charter before June or after October. The spring and fall also offer slightly cooler temperatures while you explore the islands.

Boat Types For Charters

12 Knots offers a variety of yacht and sailboat charters suitable for each individual’s needs. We encourage experienced skippers to try our bareboat catamaran or trimaran rentals, while novice sailors are placed on crewed yachts and powerboats for ease and comfort. Our options include:

• Sailing yacht

Virgin Islands Boat Rentals

A vacation in the Virgin Islands never disappoints, and here you will find many friendly locals, good food and scratch band music (called fungi music in the British part of the territories). There are also our beautiful azure waters and white sand beaches that beckon you to sunbathe and frolic within them. There are so many fun things to do in the Virgin Islands that it was hard for us to put our finger on the ultimate experience. However, when we polled our guests about the most enjoyable part of their trip, their reaction was unanimous. Their favorite experience cited, by far, was a vacation day or two spent  boating  on the Caribbean Sea’s gorgeous waves.

Besides winning our popularity contest, a  boat  day is the absolute BEST way to experience all of the activities, attractions and unspoiled scenery that make the Virgin Islands the trip of a lifetime. A trip by  boat  allows you to easily hop from one island to the next, allowing you to enjoy the best of what St. Thomas, St. John and the British Virgin Islands have to offer. Keep in mind that our neighbors in the British Virgin island won’t be reopening until September.

During your wondrous maritime excursion, you’ll get to revel at fun bars scattered along the shoreline, explore the best snorkeling locales and watch the green flash of an ethereal sunset on the horizon from your own private deck. Keep in mind that the sun sets fast; we’re talking just a few minutes here. The most unbelievable thing is that you can experience all that in just one amazing day!

What follows is a guide to chartering some of the excellent  boat  rentals and tours on the islands. However, keep in mind that rentals vary in occupancy, type of vessel and itinerary. Because of that, you will want to scroll through the different options and be well-versed in all that they offer.

One common theme you will notice about the  boat  tours is that they are unstructured – better to relax and enjoy the luxurious and laid back experience on your own terms. Simply ask the friendly captain their recommendations as to what are the best things to see and do during the trip. After the discussion, they will navigate to the preferences and interests you indicated.

At the end of each  boat  rental section, you will find pertinent information about the  boat  rentals, along with what to expect and  boating  costs. You’ll also want to check out our  Experience page  to discover all the exciting activities and recreation opportunities existing in the lovely and welcoming Virgin Islands.

Yacht Charter in US Virgin Islands

US Virgin Islands yacht charter

Yacht charter holidays are best for the most luxurious destinations in the world. In terms of being the playground of the rich and famous, the US Virgin Islands is definitely one of the best on the list. Located in the Caribbean, and home to 3 major islands and dozens of smaller islands nearby, its warm and tropical climate, as well as calm, protected waters, have long been a favorite for yacht enthusiasts. For one of the most unforgettable yacht charter holidays you can have, the US Virgin Islands is definitely a must-visit.

Why charter a yacht in the US Virgin Islands?

The US Virgin Islands is one of the world's sailing paradise. Offering ideal cruising grounds for yachts of all kinds, short distances between the islands, and plenty of beautiful beaches and diving sites, it's no surprise that the USVI's (as it's also called), is one of the top yacht charter destinations in the world. You can hop on a plane from Miami and enjoy a direct flight to St. Thomas, the biggest of the Virgin Islands, then charter a yacht in any of the marinas at the capital, Charlotte Amelie. With an abundance of itineraries, a yacht charter in the Virgin Islands is the best way to explore the beautiful scenery and culture.

What are yacht charter prices in the US Virgin Islands?

Choose from a catamaran, a monohull, a motor yacht, superyachts, and megayachts from the wide array of yacht charter offerings on the islands. A 42-foot cruising monohull can cost around $4000 for a week's charter for 6 people on board. At the same time, a sailing catamaran can cost about $9,200 for a group of 8 people. A 140-feet trimaran can cost around $70,000 per week for a group of 9, while a 230-foot megayacht can cost about $500,000 per week. Virgin Islands welcome a substantial number of megayachts that are like resorts of their own on the waters - complete with anything - from a fully-equipped gym, sauna, spa, to gourmet dining with Michelin star chefs, and even a helipad on the boat.

When is the yachting season in the US Virgin Islands?

The US Virgin Islands offer tropical weather almost all-year-round, except for the months of July to October, which is hurricane season. Since the islands belong to the hurricane belt, yacht charters are very scarce during these months. That means yachting season in the islands start in November and end in June or July. The best time for a yacht charter in the Virgin Islands is the early months of summer in the Caribbean, which are the months of March to July, with nonexistent rainfall and the sunniest skies you can ever imagine.

US Virgin Islands yacht charter for a day

If you're pressed for time and have only one day for a yacht charter adventure, then a trip to St. John is a definite must. For a full day yacht charter, you have to start early in the morning to take full advantage of your yacht charter for a day. St. John is the smallest island in the USVI's, and it's directly located to the east of St. Thomas. About 60% of the land is home to a pristine national park, making hiking and walking around the inland an adventure you shouldn't miss. You can also swim in the beautiful beaches, shop in the eclectic stores, and dive into the beautiful Caneel Bay. Enjoy the day snorkeling, sailing, having lunch on board, then hiking the trails inland, and enjoying the vast activities on offer at St. John.

US Virgin Islands yacht charter overnight

An overnight yacht charter is perfect if you have two days to explore the different gems of the US Virgin Islands. Start your cruise along the beaches and bay of St. Thomas, then head over to St. John, where you can enjoy a bevy of activities inland and on the beach. Anchor at Caneel Bay, then in the morning, head your way to either St, Croix, for its sugar cane plantations, or visit the small island of Water Island, which is only 490 acres large and only joined the US in 1996. The island is considered a hidden gem that is perfect for hiking, meeting friendly and local people, and a short bike tour of the island. Head back to the marina in St. Thomas at the end of the day.

US Virgin Islands yacht charter for a week

And of course, if you truly want to experience the quintessential yacht charter adventure in the US Virgin Islands, a one-week liveaboard is the best way to do that. Here is a sample itinerary for your one-week liveaboard:

Gateway to the Caribbean's Best Sailboat Destinations

The Virgin islands of the United States, as they are officially called, are a Caribbean territory of the USA that's a top sailing destination in itself, particularly around the two  northern islands of St Thomas and St John. Furthermore, the US Virgin Islands as they are more commonly known provide convenient access for US citizens, and people travelling to the Caribbean through US airports, to a wide range of other exotic tropical islands with highly-developed sailing charter services. In other words, one of the very best places to begin your Caribbean sailing holiday adventure. 

There's much to see and do on a sailing charter around St Thomas and St John. A little distant to the south is the largest island in the group, St. Croix, less visited and a half-day sail away. The most popular course out of St Thomas's Compass Point marina will take you east to St John and the fabulous Virgin Islands National Park, then beyond to the British Virgin Islands. It's just 22 nautical miles sailing from St Thomas to the eastern end of Tortola. But you won't want to do it in one day. there's far too much to experience along the way! 

There are numerous options for getting to the USVI and chartering a sail or power boat. Our Caribbean sailing experts are here to help you on your way. 

Discovering the US Virgin Islands by Sailboat 

Fly into Cyril E. King Airport on St. Thomas and it's a short drive east across the island to Compass Point marina. Pass through Charlotte Amalie and stop awhile to see the capital and main port. Or save that for later as part of your sailing itinerary and use it as a base for exploring the western half of St Thomas. Use American Yacht Harbor at Red Hook at the eastern end for more discovery around the island's marine reserve waters and idyllic Great St James island. Then sail east to nearby St John and its National Park. 

The Virgin Islands National Park covers more than half of St John's land area. The island is home to just over 4,000 people, compared to St Thomas's 52,000, so it's a place of peace and tranquility with plenty of anchorage space for everyone to spread out and enjoy it. Cruz Bay is the main port of entry and very busy with ferry traffic, while Coral Bay at the eastern end is a big harbor popular with cruisers. In between a number of bays both north and south at the heart of the national park have buoys for overnight stays.  

Take time out to explore the national park, for an appreciation not only of the natural environment but also the history and cultural remnants of these islands, once the Danish West Indies. That explains many of the place names you will encounter. 

If sailing south to St Croix, head for Christiansted and use that as a base for exploring the island, which is also packed with a quite fascinating history. It's more likely that your next ports of call will be in the stunning locations that are the British Virgin islands , where you can be with a couple of hours' sailing. 

With the US Virgin Islands being popular for cross-border charters, it's important to know your documentation requirements before you travel. Non-US visitors require a visa or visa waiver to enter the US Virgin islands. British Virgin islands authorities require a valid passport for short holiday stays. Charters to the Spanish Virgin Islands are normally done out of Fajardo in Puerto Rico . Before travelling west from USVI, check requirements and any restrictions on charters in that direction.

There may also be restrictions on sailing to St. Croix, depending on experience.

Testimonials

El Toro was a beautiful and super comfortable boat for our group of 15 - awesome to have plenty of seating in both the sun and shade. Can’t say enough great things about Alex and Kit - they came up with a perfect itinerary for us with lots of snorkeling and great secluded beach spots and kept it really fun for kids too. John was awesome to work with and very responsive. Our trip with them was by far the highlight of our already amazing vacation. Highly recommend!

We looked into doing the group tours but you get so much more value for the dollar by chartering a boat and St Thomas Boat Tour is the best priced of all the options. You get twice as much time as even the longest group tour and you can customize where you go and how long you stay at each location. Justin was our Captain and cant say enough good things about him. My family are not boating people and it was a very choppy day on the water, but Justin made them feel so relaxed with his demeanor and his overall knowledge and confidence and he took us to so many spots spread throughout so many locations (snorkeling coral, sea turtles, shipwrecks; private beaches; pizza boat stop or just hanging in the lagoon for a beer) that it made this the highlight of our incredible vacation, THANK YOU JUSTIN!!

Can not say enough about St Thomas Boat Rental, John, Captain Daniel and Jermaine made the day an easy and carefree way to see the islands. For cruise ship passengers who haven't figured it out yet, this is the only way to truly see the islands. Jermaine will get you to the dock, John will get you on the boat and Captain Dan will give you a historical, sightseeing and bar hopping day that you cannot believe until you experience it. Professionals, from the cab to the boat proprietor to Captain Dan (sorry partial to him). Away from the droves of tourists and the normal tourists hot spots. A Side of the islands that only few get to or dare to see. Thanks to St Thomas Boat Rental, John, Jermaine and Captain Dan for yet another amazing day!! From Tennessee

Outstanding day on the water with Captain Shane. He took wonderful care of our group which was two families. We stopped at Lovango for lunch it was great and all spots for snorkeling were very nice. He was just an outstanding host, we will be back again because of Captain Shane.

Captain Jeremy and Jenny were a great crew! We had a great time traveling around snorkeling, swimming, and enjoying the tacos! The crew made the trip extremely fun (watched Jenny free dive 50 feet) and had the best day of our vacation. Would definitely recommend this day charter!

Took a day trip out of St John. We had Capt Morgan. Probably the best vacation day on St John! He took us around the island stopping at THE BEST spots to snorkel and see everything! Also took us (in time!) to the best lunch spot on the water. We highly recommend Capt Morgan

Had the best day with Captain Cody and Fist Mate Sarah! Picked up from Ritz Carlton beach and headed to Virgin Gorda. Did the Baths and it was so exciting! Lunch at Jost Van Dyke “Voodoo” and the on to Soggy Dollar. The whole family loved it all. Sarah and Cody were so friendly and full of stories and info. One of our best vacation days!
