Overview

During the 1800s, St. Thomas Harbor was the most respected commercial seaport in the West Indies. The harbor is in St. Thomas. The location of the port and superior facilities attracts massive traffic inflow from all corners of the USVI and beyond. Merchants and trading companies favored the seaport because it has extensive floating docks, excellent machine stores, lucid channel marking, and cheap harbors fees.

Besides being a temporary mooring haven for merchants, tourist, and travelers seeking fun and relaxation can moor their water vessels and go about having the fun. The place also boasts of beautiful beaches, resorts, restaurants, and many fun places.

Navigation

St. Thomas Harbor is on Virgin Island, and a car is the best way to navigate through places in USVI. If you don’t own a car, use a taxi or hire a car from Henry E or Cyril E in St. Thomas. Alternatively, if you prefer to go around the harbor without a vehicle, use the taxi with the USVI license and service light. Caution, avoid taking rides from gypsy taxis drivers because they are not recognized and licensed. You can identify licensed taxis by their big sizes.

If renting a car or taxi is not your thing, would you rather ride on a scooter instead? Another pleasant way to navigate the St. Thomas port is with a bicycle, scooter, or motorcycle. But be warned, the city’s hilly topography and absence of bike trails and lanes frustrate scooter, bike, or motorcycle driving. 

General Information

Currently, the harbor was closed down because of the covid 19 pandemics, but it has been declared safe. If you are an American, you don’t need a passport to visit the city or a negative covid 19 test result to revisit the U.S mainland after your air journey. The harbor’s excellent location offers extensive benefits to travelers, tourists, and businesses because it is constantly busy, beautiful, and flanked by hoards of restaurants, hotels, beaches, etc.

Where to Anchor

Regardless of the number of times you have visited the harbor, the marine is always open to you. To anchor your water vessel visit the Yacht Haven Grande at Charlotte Amalie. The facilities offer superior immigration services, ROA Booth, crew lounge, WIFI, personal shower amenities, round-the-clock security, highly skilled staff, a massive pool, mini stores, laundry services, etc.
