Day
1: Board your yacht in
St Thomas and after lunch, enjoy a leisurely
sail (or motor sail) to Frances Bay on St John.
Have an afternoon swim, then walk the beach and enjoy a
Caribbean sunset. Savor a delicious dinner either in the
cockpit under the stars or below in the coziness of the
main salon.
Day 2: After breakfast depart for
Leinster Bay , also on St John, for snorkeling, exploring
and a hike to a sugar mill. Return for lunch and then proceed
to Jost Van Dyke to clear BVI customs. Explore Jost,
visit Foxy's and other well known beach bars. This
is a good spot for a West Indian meal ashore at moderate
prices - an island pig roast perhaps - and some evening
revelry in the form of a "jump up"(party).
Day 3: Depart Jost and sail to
Sandy Spit for the beach and snorkeling.
Sail to Cane Garden
Bay for the evening or on to West End, Tortola
for lunch and a trip ashore to Pusser's
Landing for a "Painkiller" and shopping.
Sail on to the Bight at Norman
Island and visit the
Willie T (floating bar and restaurant) for
sunset cocktails or after dinner wildness.
Day 4: Snorkel at the water level
Caves at Norman
Island made famous in Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure
Island. Sail on to Cooper Island for lunch. Enjoy
an afternoon sail to Trellis Bay on Beef Island.
After dinner, go to the Last Resort for Tony Snell's
musical review or have a relaxing drink at Pusser's
Marina Cay .
Day 5: Sail to Virgin Gorda and
visit the Baths
, those wondrous house-sized boulders that form fascinating
pools and grottoes to explore. After lunch, sail on to
North Sound . Visit the Bitter End
Yacht Club for snorkeling, boardsailing, water-skiing
or hiking. Every activity can be done here.
Day 6: Depart North Sound after
morning activities and lunch for a sail to
Peter Island where there is a great
beach on Deadman's Bay and excellent snorkeling in
Great Harbor. Visit Peter Island Yacht Club - a very
upscale place for a dinner ashore (jackets required in season)
if that's your preference.
Day 7: More water sports in the
morning (possibly a rendezvous dive on a coral-encrusted
1867 wreck of the British mail steamer Rhone). Following
lunch, sail to Cruz Bay on St John to clear U.S. Customs.
Check out the local shops here or sail on to Christmas
Cove on Great St James for snorkeling or watersports.
Enjoy your last evening aboard with another glorious
Caribbean sunset and a special dinner
prepared by your chef.
Day
8: After breakfast (with a farewell Bloody
Mary or mimosa, perhaps?) and a final swim, return to
Red Hook or downtown
St Thomas for some last minute duty free shopping before
you catch your flight home. If you have the time, take a
drive around scenic St Thomas and dine at some of the great
spots.
Please note this
sample cruise is just one of many variations you can enjoy
in the Virgin Islands. These cruises can be customized to
fulfill the dreams of each charter party. That's the beauty
of a Virgin Islands Crewed Yacht Charter Vacation.
If you
want to SCUBA Dive, there are yachts that specialize in
and are equipped for this activity. The Divemaster or instructor
aboard will make sure that you dive on some spectacular
dive sites.
Or maybe
you want to spend more time sailing than at anchor and improve
your sailing skills at the same time. Your experienced captain
will be happy to oblige your wishes.
Whether
you want an active night life visiting local "hot" spots,
or the pleasure of quiet, secluded anchorages, a charter
yacht in the Virgin Islands can fullfill all your vacation
dreams.
And,
of course, if your idea of the ideal vacation is no itinerary
at all, then a crewed yacht charter vacation is the perfect
choice. You can decide each morning over coffee in the cockpit
what you want to do that day (even if what you want to do
is nothing at all), and it's okay to change your mind too.
In other words, our professional crews will make sure that
each chartered guest experiences the perfect personalized
itinerary.
