day 1

St Thomas - Magens Bay

duration

1h 15m

distance

14nm

Join the yacht in St Thomas island and head out to nearby Magens Bay,. Consistently hailed as one of the best beaches not only in the US Virgin Islands but also in the world, Magens Bay is famed for its cerulean waters, verdant backdrop, and sugary white sands. Clean, uncrowded, and with crystalline visibility for the keen snorkeler and diver, Magens Bay is utterly enchanting and captures the essence of the USVI. Sitting on the shores of St Thomas, it’s a must for charter guests visiting these parts who want to kick back on a stunningly beautiful beach. The water at Magens tends to be super still and calm making it a great swimming spot for families. There’s food and drink served ashore and the option to rent kayaks, paddle boats, and loungers for the sands. There’s a small admission charge to enter Magens Bay but the floury sands and soft blue seas are worth it.

day 2

Magens Bay - St John

duration

45m

distance

8nm

With most of St John being swallowed up by a national park – it’s no surprise that it’s one of the most tempting destinations in the US Virgin Islands. Imagine a tiny ripe universe of carved out coves, rich coral reefs, and emerald waters. Diving and snorkeling are of course a must do activity where you can encounter over 500 species of fish and over 40 species of coral.

Touch base at Francis Bay before taking the tender or kayak to explore those lesser known corners. Be sure to spend a little while falling in love with the famed Trunk Bay (AKA one of the most picture perfect stretches of sand in the whole of the Caribbean).

For those charter guests who want a sprinkle of history, take the hike up to the nearby Catherineberg Ruins. This is the oldest plantation in St John and it’s mill dates all the way back to the 18th century. Afterwards, stroll down to the little town and delight in the buzzy local markets where local art and crafts can be bartered, bought, and treasured.

Great St James Isle - St Croix

duration

distance

48nm

St. Croix is the largest of the US Virgin Islands, and nicknamed “Twin City” after its two towns, Christiansted, with its distinctive charm, on the northeast end and Frederiksted which has maintained its Victorian architecture, on the western end. Both towns are worth a visit giving their sense of Danish culture. The island is of course a sun lover’s paradise, with over 30 beaches to choose from. It is also home to some of the top dive and snorkel sites in the Caribbean, including Buck Island Reef National Monument – one of only three underwater national monuments in the US where you can discover a wonderful array of sea life, including coral reefs, hawksbill turtles and seahorses. With calm, clear waters found around Frederiksted, it is a popular area for paddleboarding and kayaking. The island is also famous for its rare bioluminescent bays at Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve.

day 5

St Croix - Buck Island

duration

1h 25m

distance

16nm

Buck Island Reef National Monument is situated less than a couple of miles off the island of St Croix.

This National Monument was established by President John F. Kennedy to preserve “one of the finest marine gardens in the Caribbean Sea”. The monument includes Buck Island itself along with 19,000 acres of underwater marine habitat.

The island and the surrounding coral reef marine environment support a large variety of native flora and fauna. The island is one of the few places in the Virgin Islands where endangered brown pelicans and threatened Least Terns nest. Around the island you will also encounter the endangered hawksbill, green and leatherback turtles.

Access to the island is by boat only and charterers will have the opportunity to snorkel or SCUBA dive through the beautiful reef, follow the underwater snorkeling trail at the eastern most point of the reef, swim and relax at the gorgeous beach or for hike the beautiful island itself.

day 6

Buck Island - Lovango Cay

duration

3h 15m

distance

38nm

Just off the coast of St John, charter guests love Lovango. A private island with an upmarket resort and fun beach bar, Lovango is ever enticing for those guests who want to play in a remote paradise but still have all of life’s little luxuries to hand. With 118 acres comprising emerald green hills, blue waters, tropical sounds, and white sands, what’s so inspiring about Lovango Cay is the fact that the island takes sustainability seriously to preserve this fine-tuned example of mother nature’s playground. A private dock, infinity pools, sunset restaurants, exclusive boutiques, and a full service beach club, you can visit and drop anchor for the day or choose to stay. For those who want a barefoot luxury stay on the USVI, Lovango Cay is all sea breezes and style.

day 7

Lovango Cay - Hans Lollik Island

duration

35m

distance

7nm

The larger of the two privately owned islands in the US Virgin Islands, Great Hans Lolik boasts over 500 acres of private pristine paradise. From the cream colored curve of Coconut Beach to the soaring cliffs and palm forests, Grand Hans Lolik tempts you in with its magical mooring spot without another soul in sight. Less than 3km from the northshore of St Thomas – split by the blue hues of the Leeward Passage, it’s a glorious spot for resting, swimming, seasonal bird watching, and watching the native bats swoop against a sky of orange and pink come sunset.

day 8

Hans Lollik Island - St Thomas

duration

1h 0m

distance

11nm

Return to St Thomas to disembark and perhaps take some time to explore this island from the land. The mountainous island of St Thomas belongs to the US Virgin Islands and, fun fact, is the only US jurisdiction where vehicles drive on the left. With direct flights daily from the mainland, it makes for the perfect destination to embark or disembark your charter. The island uniquely combines a cosmopolitan atmosphere with the natural beauty of the Virgin Islands. There are plenty of attractions to visit here when you’re not lazing on one of the beautiful white, powdery beaches or enjoying watersports on the turquoise waters. The Capital, Charlotte Amalie, has one of the most breathtaking harbours in the world, and is known for its fantastic duty-free shopping, restaurants and bars and is one of the liveliest places in the Caribbean. Fort Christian is the oldest, and most robust structure on St Thomas, built in the 1600s, it has survived hurricanes and fires which had otherwise demolished other parts of the town.
