01 the US Virgin Islands yacht charter

The US Virgin Islands, planned properly.

A USVI yacht charter is one of the most effortless ways to experience the Caribbean. With direct flights from major U.S. cities into St. Thomas, you can be on the dock in Charlotte Amalie and underway within hours — St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix, whether that is snorkelling at Trunk Bay, the calm water of Caneel Bay, or the laid-back charm of Christiansted.

Unlike the BVI, which is heavily catamaran-dominated, the USVI has built a strong fleet of luxury motor yachts — better infrastructure, deep-water marinas and top-tier provisioning. They come with jacuzzis, gyms and full toy setups, including jet skis, which are legal here and not in the BVI. Most charters take in both territories: Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Norman Island and Jost Van Dyke are an easy cruise, provided your yacht is licensed for BVI waters.

Frequently asked questions.

How much does a USVI yacht charter cost?
USVI yacht charters range from $15,000 to over $150,000 per week , depending on the type of yacht, size, and season. All charters are private and crewed. All-Inclusive Charters cover the yacht, captain and chef, all meals, drinks (alcohol policies vary), water toys, fuel, and most taxes and fees. Plus Expense Charters charge a base rate plus an APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance) of 20–35% for costs like food, alcohol, fuel, and docking. A 12.5% USVI tax and a 15–20% crew gratuity are also added. Typical Price Ranges: Catamarans: $15,000 to $80,000 per week for 6–10 guests (usually all-inclusive) Motor Yachts: $40,000 to $150,000+ per week for 6–12 guests (plus expenses) Sailing Yachts: $18,000 to $60,000 per week for 6–12 guests (usually all-inclusive)
How do I get to the US Virgin Islands?
A yacht charter vacation to the US Virgin Islands is both fantastic and convenient. Positioned in close proximity to the US mainland, the USVI provides easy accessibility for travelers, with frequent direct flights from major hubs like Miami, New York City, Boston, and more. One distinct advantage of selecting the USVI as your yacht charter destination is its status as US territory . This ensures a smooth and stress-free experience for charter guests, as they encounter no hurdles with border crossings or unfamiliar customs procedures.
Where should I stay in the USVI before my charter?
For those looking to extend their stay before or after their yacht charter and explore the land, the USVI offers many accommodations that meet US standards of luxury and comfort. Unlike the British Virgin Islands (BVI), where villas are more common, the USVI has numerous hotels and luxury resorts operated by well-known US chains . TOP 5 BEST PLACES TO STAY IN THE USVI: The Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas The Buccaneer, Christiansted Gallows Point Resort, Cruz Bay Marriott's Frenchman's Cove, St. Thomas The Westin St. John Resort Village ter no hurdles with border crossings or unfamiliar customs procedures.
When is the high season and low season?
The prices on all websites are indicative. The seasons vary from one boat to another. Some boats have a different price every week. The only way to get the accurate price for the boat is to inquire.
Final Payment and Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA)
The balance of your payment is normally due 60 days prior to the charter. You will also be asked to send funds to cover the APA, if that is the terms of your agreement. All charter costs must be reconciled before you disembark from the vessel.
Are food, drink and fuel typically part of the charter price per week I see on your site?
The prices on the site are the base prices. For crewed yachts, there is a 20%-30% APA (advance provisioning allowance) added on top – specifically to cover food and fees. If applicable, VAT is added on top as well.
What does a crew vs just a captain consist of on a yacht charter?
The captain is solely responsible for the navigation of the boat. On a captain only charter, most tasks including meals preparation, are left with the guests. A crewed charter will include at least 1 stewardess/chef. With crewed charters, being a guest is a hands-off experience and it’s a huge step up in comfort. Always choose a crewed charter, if within your budget. If not, consult with our broker, perhaps you’d consider another location.
What is the policy on yacht charter cancellation due to weather?
That differs based on contract and boat. The purchase of trip, health, accident, baggage and cancellation insurance is highly recommended and will be offered by a senior broker with a specific boat.
