If you need accommodation before or after your yacht charter week, we are recommending a few hotels in St. Thomas (STT) for you to choose from so that you do not miss a day onboard.
Sometimes your flight is late and you wish to stay ashore before joining your charter the next day. You may even want to stay an extra night on St. Thomas to explore more of the Caribbean islands. The marina for yacht pickup varies between Yacht Haven Grande (Charlotte Amalie) or Red Hook on the East End.
