The Best US Virgin Islands Yachting Destinations
St Thomas
Called ‘Rock City’ for its plentiful crags and hills, St Thomas is famous for its many indulgent luxuries.
The destination has even taken an upscale turn with the opening of the Yacht Haven Grande, a gated megayacht marina and shopping complex within walking distance of the capital city, Charlotte Amalie. Here, you can start and end your US Virgin Islands yacht charter vacation just steps away from newly built high-class stores, restaurants, and traditional boutiques selling duty-free jewelry and other souvenirs.
Stroll along streets made from cobblestones once used as ballast in transatlantic exploration ships. And as you pass, peek in and out of brick buildings that once warehoused barrels of rum and spices bound for Europe and now harbor tourist-friendly stores and boutiques. Then explore the city’s extensive and exciting history of pirates with a visit to Blackbeard’s Castle, one of five National Historic Landmarks in the US Virgin Islands.
St John
Just four miles east and within easy cruising distance of St Thomas is the island of St John, an enclave of natural beauty accessible only by ferry or private yacht.
What St Thomas is to island civilization, St John is to nature and wildlife. More than half of the island is protected as part of the Virgin Islands National Park, which offers 7,000 acres of dedicated parkland as well as glorious white-sand beaches. Hike along the trails in tropical rainforests, snorkel in warm azure waters, or take a walk along an idyllic coast that seems to stretch on forever.
St Croix
When you charter a luxury yacht to the US Virgin Islands, you have a perfect opportunity to learn about the destination’s fascinating colonial heritage and history of slavery. And of all the islands in the archipelago, none is better for cultural learning than the forts and plantations of St Croix. Hundreds of sugar and cattle estates decorate the landscape, one of which has been transformed into a lush botanical garden.
That’s not to say history is all there is to this island. For adventure seekers, St Croix also offers world-class recreation activities, including pulse-pounding casinos and emerald-green golf courses. And those with a passion for the creative will adore its unique approach to arts, crafts, music, festivals, and other cultural events.
While you’re here, pay a visit to the famous Cruzan Rum Distillery, the only still-functioning historic distillery site in the Virgin Islands. Watch as molasses is slowly worked into strong yet flavorsome rum. Then indulge in St Croix’s signature drink, the Cruzan® Confusion, a delicious mix of different rums and a house juice blend.

The US Virgin Islands Yacht Charter FAQ with Worth Avenue Yachts
When is the best time to visit the US Virgin Islands?
The best time to visit the US Virgin Islands is between November and June, with peak season between December and March when the winds are calm and the weather is comfortable.
To avoid the crowds and enjoy longer days with cooler temperatures, charter a yacht in the US Virgin Islands in November or from April to June.
What is sailing like in the US Virgin Islands?
The US Virgin Islands offer calm crystalline waters and light, predictable winds with plenty of protected bays. These make it easy and comfortable to sail whenever you visit, whether you charter a crewed yacht or sail yourself on a bareboat vessel.
How much are the yacht mooring fees in the US Virgin Islands?
Most overnight stops in the US Virgin Islands will be at mooring buoys and anchors rather than in marinas. So you can expect nighttime mooring fees of $30-$40, though this can reach up to $65 in places like Peter Island.
If you plan to moor in one of the US Virgin Islands’ National Parks during the day, it’ll cost around $25-$55 per boat per week.
How long does it take to sail the US Virgin Islands?
Most holidaymakers charter a luxury yacht in the US Virgin Islands for one week. This is plenty of time to experience the best that the destination has to offer.
But if you want to take your time enjoying the tranquil waters and stunning beaches, consider a stay of two weeks or more.
The islands are also a gateway to the British Virgin Islands. This is an excellent opportunity to extend your vacation to include both destinations for a truly unforgettable yachting experience.
