The U.S. Virgin Islands offer endless opportunities for fun on the water. Nestled between Puerto Rico and Anguilla, this beautiful cluster of islands and cays boasts breathtaking coastlines, secluded coves, and white-sand beaches.

Known for vibrant anchorages and rich marine life, these islands are a dream for yacht charters, with stunning spots like Trunk Bay and Honeymoon Beach offering perfect swimming and snorkelling away from the crowds.

Ashore, a unique blend of American, Caribbean, and European cultures awaits. St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix offer historical landmarks, restored sugar plantations, and charming local culture. With ideal trade winds, the U.S. Virgin Islands are a paradise for sailors, and with Cyril E. King International Airport (STT) on the island of St. Thomas, the USVI are easily reached and offer a convenient gateway to the British Virgin Islands, making it easy to combine both in your charter itinerary.
