Picturesque islands, crystal clear waters and tropical temperatures all year round: welcome to the BVIs and the US Virgin Islands. The US Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands are two of the most popular winter superyacht charter destinations - and it’s not hard to see why so many yachts in our charter fleet enjoy time there every year. With plenty of fantastic activities to explore both onshore and at sea, these Caribbean islands have a diverse offering that amazes even the most discerning of luxury yacht charter guests.
The US Virgin Islands are made up of around 50 beautiful islands and islets in the Caribbean Sea. The four main islands of St. Croix, St. Thomas, St. John and Water Island are famous for their white-sand beaches, vibrant ocean reefs and some of the best restaurants and boutique shopping in the Caribbean. With two international airports in the US Virgin Islands, a US Virgin Islands yacht charter is a particularly convenient winter sun destination to reach from all over the world.
Most US Virgin Islands luxury yacht charters begin directly on St Thomas island, home to the capital of the US Virgin Islands, Charlotte Amalie. Located just 15 minutes from the airport on St Thomas, the Yacht Haven Grand Marina is one of the best marinas in the Caribbean and is an excellent starting point to explore the shopping and dining. With over 40 beaches, St Thomas is also a beach-lovers paradise.
St. John is a perfect destination to explore the nature of the Caribbean, while the island of St. Croix is home to charming historic towns for a dose of Caribbean cultural exploration. St Croix is also home to some fantastic golf courses - Carambola Golf & Country Club, as well as the Buccaneer Golf Course, are often cited as two of the best golf courses in the Caribbean!
The British Virgin Islands are commonly known as the BVIs and have been a favourite playground of the world’s best yachts for decades. The largest island in the British Virgin Islands is Tortola, with the neighbouring islands of Virgin Gorda and Jost Van Dyke also popular destinations on a BVIs luxury yacht charter. For keen sailors, a sailing yacht charter in the British Virgin Islands is an excellent option, with predictably ideal sailing conditions and fair weather making for a superb experience at sea.
For a unique travel experience in the BVIs, head to The Baths in Virgin Gorda, where beachside rocks and boulders have created pools and sea caves making for the perfect afternoon of Caribbean exploration for the whole family. For fun beach days in Virgin Gorda, Spring Bay, Devil’s Bay, and Savannah Bay are all some of the BVIs best beaches. Jost Van Dyke is a perfect blend of the best aspects of the superyacht life: fantastic dining and shopping, tropical scenery and a whole host of activities to dive into. Anchor in the sheltered bay of Great Harbour and explore all the island has to offer on a BVIs luxury yacht charter.
The winter months from November to February are when most luxury yachts take advantage of the inviting waters of the Caribbean, though a constant sunny climate makes a US Virgin Islands yacht charter or BVIs yacht charter an attractive option whatever the time of year. Whether you’re looking for an intimate family getaway enjoying the best beaches on a US Virgin Islands yacht charter or a keen sailor looking to get behind the helm of a world-class sailing superyacht on a BVIs superyacht charter, these Caribbean Islands deliver - and then some.
