14 Days Yacht Itinerary in the Virgin Islands

Are you ready to spend 14 days onboard a charter yacht, feeling a bit like explorers and a bit like buccaneers, sailing in the Virgin Islands archipelago?

We are talking about islands of extraordinary beauty, washed by the Sea of ​​the Antilles and distributed along the route that leads to Puerto Rico, to the north-west, and the lesser Antilles, to the south-east.

They are formally and administratively divided between the United Kingdom (British Virgin Island) and the United States (U. S. Virgin Islands) and welcome visitors by enchanting them with sandy beaches, crystal clear water, and a simply ideal climate in almost all seasons.

Day 1

Red Hook → Saint Thomas

The Red Hook landing place for your charter yacht is the ideal location to start this tour with destination Saint Thomas, an Island of the American Virgins that vaguely recalls San Francisco for its appearance. Drop anchor for the night on the waterfront of the capital, Charlotte Amalie.

Day 2

Saint Thomas → Saint John

Saint John, wild and rugged, owes its fame to one of the beaches parts of the US Virgin Islands National Park, Trunk Bay, which has a rich coral reef with coral species. Don’t forget to visit the charming village of Cruz Bay before anchoring the catamaran for the night.

Day 3

Saint John → Tortola

Tortola belongs to the British Virgin Islands: The walk to the sugar cane plantation and the ancient ruins of the Annaberg fort, immersed in a virgin forest overlooking a splendid bay, is unique and unmissable. After lunch, you can go with your yacht to watch dolphins at Dolphin Discovery.
