4-day USVI Crewed Charter Adventure

Our 4-day USVI crewed charter itinerary packs in the best of the U.S. Virgin Islands for guests looking to unwind, explore, and indulge—without needing a full week. From the moment you land in St. Thomas, you’re just minutes away from stepping aboard your private yacht, where a professional captain and personal chef handle every detail.

Day 1: Welcome to the Virgin Islands and a Magical Start in St. John

After landing at Cyril E. King Airport in St. Thomas, your adventure begins with a short taxi ride to the marina—either Yacht Haven Grande or American Yacht Harbor in Red Hook. Here, you’ll be warmly welcomed by your professional crew and shown aboard your luxurious yacht. Settle in, enjoy a refreshing drink, and let the relaxation begin.

Once you're ready, your crew will get underway for a short sail to the breathtaking National Park beaches of St. John. Spend your first evening anchored off one of the island’s pristine beaches. Maho Beach is a favorite for its serene waters and near-guaranteed turtle sightings, while Trunk Bay, considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, offers stunning views and powdery white sand.

Unwind, take a dip in the turquoise waters, and enjoy a chef-prepared dinner under the stars as you embrace the start of your unforgettable journey.

In the afternoon, make your way to your final anchorage: Honeymoon Bay on Water Island or Christmas Cove. Both are favorites among seasoned sailors, with calm water, great swimming, and front-row sunset views.
