Considering a Crewed Yacht Charters from St Thomas? The U.S. Virgin Islands promises a remarkable experience with trade winds, calm seas, short distances, and beautiful seascapes one can admire without fear of disrupting their peaceful atmosphere.
Trade wind speeds are at an average of 10-20 knots all year long while temperatures remain at 74°F-88°F (24°C-31°C) – perfect for escaping the frigid winter months.
St. Thomas has been designated the most cosmopolitan island despite retaining its distinctively hospitable tropical ambiance. Shoppers needing a break from looking can browse through hundreds of stores lined up on the streets of Charlotte Amalie; travelers who come to this place can also try diving or snorkeling off Coki Point, which has been an underwater hotspot for centuries.
To relax after all that exploring, visitors are encouraged to visit Magens Bay Beach – voted one of the world’s most beautiful beaches by both Conde Nast and National Geographic for many years.
One of the reasons why people charter yachts in the US Virgin Islands is because they’re a U.S territory and thus easy to travel to without requiring an additional passport. But we’ll break this down even further… Passports are not needed for US citizens traveling to the U.S. Virgin Islands, but it’s the best form of identification.
While you won’t need to show your passport, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t carry one at all times anyway (you never know). You’ll also need proof that you’re a citizen, which can be done by showing them either: raised seal birth certificate or a driver’s license issued by their state government. It’s important to note that foreigners will require valid passports and visas approved before entering.

Just like the rest of the Caribbean, such as the Virgin Islands, you’ll have different choices in types of vessels for crewed yacht charters in St Martin. These range from motor yachts, sailing catamarans, power catamarans, and traditional monohull sailing yachts. Below you’ll see some recommended St Thomas crewed yacht charters with a selection of the mentioned types.
Begin your USVI 7-night itinerary at Red Hook Harbor on St. Thomas; set sail for new adventures after a welcoming cocktail and safety briefing. Enjoy the scenic 45-minute boat ride to Great St James Island.
As soon as you arrive, have lunch before jumping in the crystal clear water at Christmas Cove. This shallow area is designated a National Marine Sanctuary and has been proven to host lots of marine life, including huge schools of colorful fish and gentle stingrays.
On day 2 of your journey, sail over to St. John. The most peaceful and serene island among the three US Virgin Islands – for all those looking for a calm vacation.
Located near Buck Island National Park, Caneel Bay offers one-of-a-kind accommodations with breathtaking views from every window. Why not spend some time at Turtle Cove Beach Bar & Grill?
They’re open late, so you can unwind after a long day out exploring. If you still have more room in your stomach, head to Red Hook Winery, where they’ll take care of everything from pairing wines with delicacies to sipping on one of their specialty cocktails while you watch the sunset. You’ll never want to leave.
Maybe have a quick swim before setting sail for Culebra. Relax on deck all afternoon if you prefer a quieter day with entertainment consisting of sunning yourself on the trampoline. Or aft sun pad while enjoying an inventive cocktail from our bartenders and delicious appetizers from our galley. All are chef-made to order right in front of your eyes.
The small uninhabited island of Culebrita is a nature reserve and part of the Culebra National Wildlife Refuge. It may be a tiny island, but it has plenty to offer! There are amazing untouched beaches to explore, and locals say that if you visit during low tide, there will also be Jacuzzis where you can relax for hours. This spot offers lots of opportunities for discovery, so don’t miss out.
Day five provides an opportunity to visit the Isla de Vieques. It resembles the tranquil Caribbean landscape before tourist development, with pristine views and all nature at every turn. The island was under U.S. military control for most of the twentieth century and is, therefore, primarily free from commercialization.
It is one of the few places left in this region that still offers large tracts of pristine land to observe life in its original form. With flora and fauna to coral reefs – making it truly worth exploring.
Go ahead and spend another day at Vieques and enjoy activities such as the following. Maybe rent a Jeep to explore deeper while in your Jeep; search for wild horses. Or go horseback riding; several businesses offer it on Vieques.
As you approach the final destination of Fajardo, on the east coast of Puerto Rico, there are many small islands and cays to explore. You can dive and snorkel at La Cordillera, Cayo Iacos, Isla Palominos, and Las Croaboas. From Fajardo, you can transfer to Cabo San Juan airport and head home.
