Luxury Yacht Charter Virgin Islands

The Virgin Islands are the remnants of ancient volcanoes scattered through the sparkling blue-green sea, their lush hills sloping down to sugar-white beaches edged by jungle and turquoise sea. Offshore, coral reefs and shipwrecks, caves and tunnels create vivid underwater landscapes for the diver or snorkeller, while world-class marinas, fine restaurants, and boutiques create the perfect blend of luxury and relaxation for the elite yacht traveller.

The British Virgin Islands are made up of four main islands – Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke and Anegada – as well as 32 other small islands and cays. The US Virgin Islands also have four major islands – Saint John, Saint Croix, Saint Thomas and Water Island – and over 50 small islands and cays. The BVIs and the USVIs are located only 29 miles apart at their closest point, meaning that you can easily experience the best of both worlds on a Virgin Islands luxury yacht charter.

Whether you decide to cruise the British Virgin Islands, the US Virgin Islands, or both, renting a yacht in the Virgin Islands is the ideal way to explore these archipelagos, as the island chains are densely clustered, meaning short and protected cruising distances between each stunning location. On VI yacht charters, the natural beauty, endless attractions, and easy cruising also makes the Virgin Islands one of the top cruising destinations for family yacht charters.

The US Virgin Islands offer the perfect mix of stunning beaches, boutique shopping, and luxury resorts. Saint Thomas is the epicentre of the action, where you can fill your days with duty-free shopping, long lunches in excellent restaurants, and a great round of golf before relaxing on famous beaches such as Magens Bay. Saint Thomas is also home to Yacht Haven Grande, an ultra-luxurious marina which won the title of ‘Superyacht Marina of the Year’ in 2016.

Two-thirds of neighbouring Saint John is a protected national park which lends itself to some breathtaking hikes along trails which lead you right up to the mountain top, while down on the coast, the spectacular white sand beach at Trunk Bay is home to an underwater snorkelling trail. The pristine waters of this quiet island attract dolphins and sea turtles, making it the perfect spot to anchor for a heavenly day on the water during your luxury USVI yacht charter.

The pretty island of St Croix enchants with its colonial architecture, picture-perfect beaches and lush rainforest, while also offering fine restaurants, golf courses, and two superyacht marinas. St Croix also hosts the vibrant Mardi Gras festival each March, a wonderful event to fit into your US Virgin Islands yacht charter.

Cruising the Virgin Islands on a superyacht is one of life’s great experiences. The upcoming season is shaping up to be superb as yachts flood back to the region, so speak to your broker as soon as possible to rent a yacht in the Virgin Islands.

The ideal time for a Virgin Islands yacht rental is during the tropical winter months between December and April. As the icy winter grips the Northern Hemisphere,a Virgin Islands luxury yacht charter promises a heavenly escape, with balmy average temperatures of 28°C (82°F), lower humidity, and warm, crystal clear seas. Summer charters are also possible and have some advantages including exceptional sportfishing and quiet anchorages, but high temperatures and humidity are a factor, while hurricanes are a real risk from June to November, with storm activity peaking during August and September.
