We are repeat customers of Rob/Ryan. Both boats are clean and comfortable, and both captain Rob and Ryan make for an enjoyable, relaxing day on the water. Highly recommend Sunshine Daydream.

We had an amazing morning on Sunshine Daydream with Lee as our captain! We enjoyed a day of cruising, snorkeling, swimming and sightseeing. Lee was not only a great captain, but storyteller as well. He is very informative about the islands and made us feel very welcome. I HIGHLY recommend and we will make sure to ride with Lee again.

We had an absolute blast. We’d been on the island for over a week, but the captain found great snorkel spots we had not hit by land. The boat was beautiful, the atmosphere relaxed, and the stops were just what we were looking for. It was the highlight of our trip!

Rob took us out just before New Years on his beautiful brand new boat. Rob brought us to wonderful peaceful bays to snorkel away from the rain, wind and currents. We appreciated his fantastic suggestions and really enjoyed the day.

No grumpy captains here! After using another popular company in Cruz Bay that kept us on a time table where we could not do half of what was promised, we switched to this awesome crew for our next charter. They were super chill, stuck to the game plan and if we decided to change our plan to spend more time in White Bay there was no issue and no attitude.

We had a great boating excursion with Captain Lee at Sunshine Daydream Charters! He tailored the excursion to what we wanted, and went to locations that were conducive to our snorkeling needs. Highly recommended!

Book a Trip with Tipitina

A classic beauty

Come sail the Caribbean as it was meant to be experienced, aboard our luxurious 55-foot classic sailing yacht, Tipitina. Take in the breathtaking turquoise waters of St John and the surrounding barrier cays of the Virgin Islands. Explore remote, off the beaten track areas in our inflatable dinghy with fully guided snorkeling. Our trips are private and customized so that you can experience the Virgin Islands your way. With everything you could possibly need, including snorkel gear, drinks, snacks and gourmet lunch, you will be off on a truly, one of kind adventure.

Tipitina is truly in a league of her own! She is a 55-foot custom built, high-performance monohull with all of the creature comforts. Designed by Britton Chance, one of the biggest innovators of the 70's and 80's America's Cup boats, including "Stars and Stripes," which won in 1987. In 2016, Tipitina went through a $1.2 million refit where an aft cockpit and sugar scoop were added, which is great if you want a bit of privacy on the charter.

Bonnie and Matt

Your Captains

Matt was born and raised in the port city of Fremantle, Western Australia. He rarely strayed too far from the salt water, growing up boating, fishing and diving. Matt has been around boats his entire life. This took him all over the world, working on vessels of all shapes and sizes. While working a shipwright job, Matt met his beautiful wife Bonnie in Seattle. Bonnie grew up in Jackson, Mississippi and has lived all over the deep South before venturing to the Pacific Northwest as a travel nurse. After sailing the cold Puget Sound, Matt and Bonnie went searching for sunshine in San Diego, where they fell in love with racing and sailing. One night, after a few rums, they decided to buy a boat and sail the Caribbean. Matt and Bonnie are both licensed USCG Masters Captains currently residing in St John, USVI. Bonnie is also a Registered Nurse and Matt a Certified Rescue Diver.

St. John is a playground for sailing and island hopping.

Constellation - 50 ft Swan Sailing Yacht

Swan, one of the finest yachts built and this charter boat described as both beautiful and powerful, has been one of B. J.’s fondest dreams for many years. The joy and dedication she brings to Constellation will be evident to all who see them together–truly a match made in heaven.

Charter Cruising in the US Virgin Islands

Travel windward through the Virgin Islands and catch the steady trade winds as they carry you to nearby destinations. Navigation is a breeze between islands lined with protected bays and sounds formed for easy anchoring. Throughout the islands you will find any of your requirements just a short trip away, from onboard provisions to onshore restaurants and a night out. With Constellation based in Great Cruz Bay, St John VI, you are assured of receiving the support you need to make your charter trip, from beginning to end, a smooth cruising experience. Those new to the chartering scene will find the tranquil seas and easily plotted courses of the USVI a perfect place to build upon their experience. And whether you are at the helm or resting on the sundeck you will find there is nothing like island hopping from the deck of your own yacht.

Virgin Island Highlights

Location may not be everything but in the United States Virgin Islands it’s what makes cruising so pleasurable. With its stretch of islands in the northeastern part of the Caribbean, charter guests can expect beautiful blue waters flowing into shaded caves and onto soft-sand beaches. Coral reefs surround the coast in an array of colors and are home to just as colorful marine life. Further inland bars, shops and restaurants spill through the winding streets and timeless villages are filled with the famous laid-back island ambiance.

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.

  • 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.

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.

For those looking for an extravagant experience, there are luxury boats available with prices ranging from $1,500 – $4,500 per day.

No matter what kind of charter you’re looking for, there’s something here in St John that can make your time on the water truly special.

What do boat charters include?

Many charters come standard with a captain who will also serve as your guide to provide insight on the best local spots or activities. In addition, snorkeling equipment is included in most boat charters – so you won’t need to worry about bringing your own.

Depending on your budget and needs, there may also be additional amenities such as water sports, food, or an open bar. Sometimes, larger vessels come with a first mate to ensure your charter runs smoothly.

One thing to keep in mind: most charters do not include the fuel surcharge fee in their listing price. Additionally, there’s a mandatory customs fee to enter British Virgin Islands territory and to visit the Virgin Gorda baths.

Regardless, you’ll find what you’re looking for in one of the St John Boat Charters.

What kind of boat charters are available in St John USVI?

Whether you’re looking to rent a luxury boat for the entire family, or chartering a small speedboat for an afternoon, there’s a large selection of St John boat charters to fit every need and budget.

You can also look into catamaran charters for those who prefer a sailing experience – with picturesque bays and pristine coral reefs, it’s hard to beat vacationing on the turquoise waters of St John USVI.

What to Pack for your St John Boat Rental

☀️ reef safe sunscreen.

Reef-safe sunscreen is a must-have item and is required by law in the US Virgin Islands, as the harmful chemicals in standard sunscreen can damage coral reefs.

I’d suggest getting a bottle to pack in your checked bag, as reef-safe sunscreen is expensive on the islands.

🤢 Sea Bands or Dramamine

If you’re prone to seasickness, be sure to pack sea bands or another form of motion sickness relief. Dramamine Non-Drowsy with Natural Ginger is my go-to. This is a must-have if you’re planning on renting a boat in St John!

Although phones often have great built-in cameras these days, a GoPro can be really helpful for recording memories without having to worry about getting your phone wet. I recently got the GoPro 10, specifically for boat days and snokeling exursions, and I am obsessed with it. It’s worth every penny.

🌊Floating Waterproof Phone Case

Finally, don’t forget to pack a waterproof and sand-proof bag for all your belongings, as well as a waterproof and floating phone case – just in case you end up jumping off the boat with a phone in your pocket!

Where to Stay in St John for boat charters

If you’re planning a luxury charter sailing getaway in St John, there’s no better place to stay than Cruz Bay.

It offers everything that any boating enthusiast could dream of – from nearby charters with pickup and drop-off in Cruz Bay.

With plenty of great restaurants, bars, and amenities ranging from beach side yoga to modern day spas – Cruz Bay has you covered for your luxury escape!

You’ll also find some pickup options out of Coral Bay with its popular marina or Caneel Bay.

Best time to go to St John USVI

If you’re looking for the perfect time to visit St John USVI , the best time is between January and April. This is considered peak season in the Virgin Islands , so prices will be higher but it’s worth it!

The weather during this time is usually mild with low chances of bad weather plus it won’t be too hot or humid outside.

And since the waters around have also had time to warm up, they’ll be perfect for swimming, snorkeling and boating activities. Plus, there will be plenty of attractions to explore and loads of fun things to do!

Captain Kyle and Henry were fabulous! This activity made an incredible vacation fabulous! Kyle and Henry made everyone comfortable and make the trip fun. Kyle even gave us some history of the landmarks we saw. I would recommend Kyle and Henry and this boat ride as a must do!

This day was great and so was the boat and the captain. We had our family of 4 and we went out with Brian for a full day around St John. We had such a great time and he was the nicest person and so easy to talk to. He also knew alot about the island and its history. He also made the best rum punch. (best we had while on the island for a week) BEST DAY WE HAD ON VACAY. Highly recommend this company for your boat day needs and ask for Brian.

What a great time we had. Wedding went well, and the snorkeling at water island. They took us where we saw sea turtles and stingrays. The captain and Rachel we such great hosts, so attentive and just so nice. We all enjoyed our half day tour. Can’t say enough good things about them!

We spent half day celebrating our friends one-year Wedding Anniversary on Pisces catamaran! It was such an amazing time; Captain Connor and his first mate Chelsea were excellent! It was tranquil and quite relaxing; I will certainly use them again when ever my family and friends visit us in St. Thomas! I will also recommend Seas the Day Charters and Tours to my Airbnb guests!

What an incredible day!! Captan Bryan is amazing and probably the best captain we’ve ever had! He listened to basically what we wanted to do and then crafted the itinerary to perfection. We circumnavigated St. John and he took us to some of the most beautiful spots for snorkeling and just relaxing in the water. His superb timing got us to Lime Out for lunch at JUST the right time to secure us the best Lilly pad in the house! He was personal and informative and took the trip (which would have been great by itself) to the next level. Highly recommend!!

We had an absolutely fabulous day with Glenn! Truly, it could not have been better! Glenn is a very experienced sailor and very knowledgeable about the Caribbean. He is also a great guy and we all thoroughly enjoyed hanging with him for the day. We snorkeled at several great spots in the BVI, visited Willie T's and Soggy Dollar.

Whenever we visit St John "Boat Day" is always everyone's favorite day of the the vacation. This year was fabulous! We are a 3 generation family of 11 with six kids ages 9 and under. Captain Alex and First mate Aaron found out exactly what we like to do and they made it happen. The snorkeling was amazing, lunch from the pizza boat was delicious and fun and the time out on the water all day cannot be beat. Thank you Seas the Day and especially to Alex and Aaron. Our day really could not have been better!!!

An amazing experience to St. John! We went to snorkel at 2 different places that were both beautiful! Captain Greg and Coleman were amazing and so nice. They answered all of our many questions about the island and gave us the best information. They were so knowledgeable! We never felt rushed and we felt like they wanted to give us the best experience possible. The boat was so clean and the snorkeling gear was great. Very professional. This is the charter to book!

This slice of heaven on earth is known for its crystal waters, stunning bays, lush green forests and mangroves, and amazing wildlife. The island’s natural wonders, combined with its peaceful environment, make it a worthwhile travel destination.

One of the most beautiful destinations in all of the Virgin Islands, this yachting playground is truly a nature gem, with tropical forests sheltering migratory birds, thriving mangroves supporting corals and anemones, and friendly dolphins and green turtles inhabiting the deep blue waters. More than half of it is actually protected by the National Park Service. For anyone who loves nature, adventure, and tranquility, this is the sailing destination for you.

Why booking boat charters in St John USVI with Sailo?

Sailo offers some of the best deals for a boat rental in St. John, USVI, and our convenient platform makes finding your ideal yacht charter easy and efficient. Filter your search by type ( St. John catamaran rentals or sailboat charters in St. John ), price, travel dates, party size, and more in order to narrow your results to the options that will fit the needs of your trip. Use more filters to get a more specific result and less filters if you are still keeping an open mind.

Also remember that while booking, you have the option of communicating with the owner by using our “Message owner” feature. We recommend asking them all you want to know about the catamaran or sailboat you are considering chartering for your vacation in order to get a better idea of whether it fits the requirements of your trip. The owner or the captain can also offer their own tips for sailing in the USVI as well as recommend extras they may be able to add to your booking, such as transportation to and from the port, or watersports equipment.

Best time to sailing St John, USVI

Even though the Caribbean is a wildly popular sailing destination, we still recommend spending plenty of time exploring the island either before or after your sailing adventure on a St. John boat rental.

The weather can affect your sailing plans if you end up booking your trip during a time with cooler temperatures or adverse weather conditions, like tropical storms and hurricanes. You can visit year-round, but we recommend booking for March through June if you want the most ideal weather and sailing conditions. Of course, like other tropical places in the world, the weather can be unpredictable, so just keep this in mind and pack according to the season you plan to visit.

If you plan to visit these gorgeous parts of the Caribbean sea, you might even want to extend your trip and take a longer tropical vacay! Want even more vacation ideas?

Guide to St John

A nature lover’s paradise

The smallest of the three main US Virgin Islands , St John lies just to the east of St Thomas, and is renowned for its pristine natural beauty, with most of the island protected by the Virgin Islands National Park.

Remote, tranquil and undeveloped compared to its neighbours in the Virgin Islands archipelago, St John offers a slower pace of life and is a popular destination for hikers, snorkelers and nature lovers. For yacht rentals , the entry point for most visitors is Cruz Bay, the island’s main town and commercial hub, located on the west coast. The harbour can accommodate yachts of up to 6om in length, and there are restaurants, bars, shops and supermarkets here where you can stock up on provisions, as well as a white sand beach around the bay.

Quieter stretches of sand can be found within easy reach of Cruz Bay, such as the secluded Hart Bay, on the south coast, which is also a prime snorkelling spot. The rocky outcrop in the middle of the bay provides a habitat for a variety of Caribbean marine species, including parrotfish, bluehead wrasse and angelfish, as well as an array of hard corals. 

On the north coast, the stunning white sandy beach at Trunk Bay has been voted one of the best in the world, and receives more visitors than any other beach on St John. The sign-posted underwater snorkelling trail offshore is ideal for beginners, who can explore the colourful reefs and the tropical fish that live here at depths between 3m and 6m below the surface. 

Further along the north coast, Watermelon Cay is one of St John’s most popular snorkelling destinations, with its clear water providing excellent visibility for exploring the abundant sea life here, which includes turtles, rays, conches and small sharks. 

St John is a great place for scuba diving, too, with several sites worth investigating around the coast. One of the best is around Carval Rock, off the north coast, where experienced divers can explore 24m below the surface.

Why Charter a Yacht in St Thomas

One of the main islands in the USVI, St Thomas is a true gem of the Caribbean . When you book a yacht charter in St Thomas, you can prepare for crystal clear waters, sensational scuba diving sites, beautiful sunsets, sizzling temperatures, world-class beaches, lovely locals and delicious food. Doesn’t that sound amazing?

St. Thomas is the most cosmopolitan island in the USVI, yet it still retains the distinctive atmosphere of a secluded Caribbean paradise. Enjoy duty-free shopping at hundreds of stores that line the streets of Charlotte Amalie, dive or snorkel in an underwater hotspot like Coki Point, or unwind on Magens Bay Beach, named one of the most beautiful beaches in the world by both Conde Nast and National Geographic.

St Thomas is also renowned for its incredible marine life, which you can say hello to as you snorkel and scuba dive in the warm turquoise waters. On a St Thomas yacht charter, you can expect to see stingrays, starfish, sea turtles, Queen angelfish, Caribbean lobsters, barracudas and so much more.

Another highlight is St. John, the smallest of the U.S. Virgin Islands located directly east of St. Thomas. Over 60% of this island is home to a pristine national park, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking some true natural beauty. Swim, shop and dine on beautiful Caneel Bay, or, if you’re feeling adventurous, take an early morning hike up the Ram Head Trail for a magnificent view of the sunrise. That’s the beauty of a yacht charter in St Thomas – its proximity to so many world-class islands and secluded anchorages.

Whether you’re challenging yourself with a St Thomas bareboat yacht charter, or welcoming a crew aboard to take care of your every need, relax in the knowledge that the USVI offers a slice of paradise.

Inspiring Itineraries

St. Thomas (USVI)

St. Thomas Charter – 10 Day Itinerary

St. thomas charter – popular 7-day itinerary.

The route you choose to sail in St Thomas may differ depending on any excursions you have planned, which islands you’d like to visit and who you’re traveling with. What we do know is, no matter which route you sail, your St Thomas boat charter will be a magical experience that will create picture-perfect memories to cherish.

If you choose to follow one of our St Thomas sailing itineraries, you will explore the sensational Christmas Cove and snorkel among the stingrays, relax on the sandy beaches of Caneel Bay and visit Druif Bay where you will have the unique opportunity to discover its historic fort and learn more about the history of the USVI.

Much like the British Virgin Islands, the USVI is home to three main islands, all of which are easy to travel between on your yacht. Alongside the main islands, a St Thomas sailing vacation also gives you the opportunity to sail to smaller, nearby islands and discover the treasures of these secluded anchorages. Whether you’re challenging yourself on a bareboat charter in St Thomas, or hiring a skipper to navigate the passages around the USVI, there are plenty of incredible islands to discover.

At The Moorings, we pride ourselves on providing bespoke sailing vacations in St Thomas, tailored to your exact requirements. From the type of yacht to the duration of your St Thomas catamaran charter, it is completely your choice.

A 7-day boat charter in St Thomas is the perfect amount of time to experience the magic of the turquoise waters and experience the islands around the USVI in all their glory. However, depending on how much exploring and relaxing you plan on doing whilst in St Thomas, you may choose to extend your charter for longer than a week. 

We have 7-day and 10-day St Thomas itineraries that you can follow, or use as inspiration to create your own itinerary.

  • Sail to St John and uncover the treasures of Leinster Bay, where you will find some of the best snorkeling opportunities in the whole of the USVI, and BVI .
  • Stop by at Magens Beach where you can lie out on the golden sands or snorkel for the day.
  • Go on a turtle swimming excursion aboard Fury, from Yacht Haven Grande. 
  • Take a Fishing Charter to the famous North Drop.*
  • Hop on the Sky Ride Gondola to Paradise Point and enjoy beautiful sunset drinks. 
  • Walk around the historic district of Charlotte Amalie and immerse yourself into St Thomas’ culture.

*Fishing – If you want to spend your days fishing and exploring the open waters of St Thomas, you should be aware that the Closed Season schedule in the Virgin Islands is as follows. During this time no person shall catch, sell, offer for sale or buy:

  • Margate: January 1 – March 31
  • Red Hind: January 1 – March 31
  • Nassau Grouper: March 1 – May 31
  • Turtles: April 1 – November 30
  • Lobster: July 31 – October 31
  • Conch: August 15 – October 31

Known for having a ‘tropical savanna’ climate, St Thomas enjoys sunny, year-round warm temperatures ranging between 75°F and 88°F. There is higher rainfall in August-December than any other time of the year, averaging 107-125mm in these months.

During the Winter months (November to January) the wind is from the northeast at 15-20 knots. The Christmas winds can produce 25-30 knots for several days at a time. In February, the winds move to the east and by June it changes to the southeast at 10-15 knots. In September and October, the trade winds are at their weakest and the weather can be less settled. By November the high pressure system around Bermuda starts to stabilize and 15-20 knot breezes become the norm.

Charterers can obtain the weather situation at any time by listening to the maritime weather forecasts. Weather updates are given hourly during severe weather.

Much like the BVI , Belize and other Caribbean destinations, the dry season in St Thomas runs from December-April, making it the best time to book your sailing vacation. St Thomas truly couldn’t be a more perfect destination for a Winter getaway when you’re looking to escape the wet weather and January blues.

Looking for a Summer sailing vacation? Take a look at our Mediterranean charters, including Italy , Greece and Croatia .

Much like the BVI, the USVI experiences a very small tidal range, making it a wonderful location for a sailing charter. You may experience a tidal range of between 11-23 inches, which includes variations due to any dominant winds or atmospheric pressure.
