Charter Yachts in The United States Virgin Islands
EPIC Yacht Vacations
Three principal islands make up the US Virgin Islands, with around 50 smaller islands, inlets and cays which form part of this exotic Caribbean island destination. We highly recommend exploring the islands, cays and bays aboard a luxury crewed charter yacht. Yachts pick up and drop off on St Thomas in various marinas. Follow the beaten track and see the highlights or veer a little off track and let your crew show you a few special attractions, secluded bays and beaches. Fly into St. Thomas and meet your charter yacht either in Charlotte Amalie, near the airport, or take a taxi to Red Hook on the east side of the island.
St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix are the largest of the island group and are the most populated with infrastructure for tourism. Hotels, villas and beach resorts are in abundance as well as duty free shopping. Of course the beaches and island life are large attractions to the idyllic “America’s Paradise”.
Aboard your charter yacht you can enjoy a variety of exhilarating water activities from sailing, world class Scuba diving, deep sea fishing, snorkeling, kayaking, and paddle boarding. Paragliding and jet skiing are available by tour companies and can be arranged by your crew. Get certified as a Scuba diver or just discover the sport first. See more than 500 species of fish and lots of coral reefs while snorkeling. Land activities will take you on hiking, biking or eco-tours to awe-inspiring views!

Estimated price:
Plus Expenses or APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance)
The charter rate shown includes the use of the charter yacht, professional crew and onboard equipment.
All other daily expenses, that are not included in the base rate, will be covered with an Advanced Provisioning Payment (APA). This is collected before the charter commences.
APA expenses include fuel for both the yacht and tender, provisions, dockage, moorings, airport transfers, cruising permits and taxes, scuba diving and onshore excursions.
The APA payment is typically 20%-25% of the base charter rate for sailing yachts and 30%-35% for motor yachts. Your captain will purchase provisions, taxes, fuel etc for the charter using the APA and will keep all receipts along with a running log of expenses. This can be viewed at any time during your charter.
Any APA that has not been spent will be returned to you at the end of the charter. If during the charter, expenses exceed the APA, additional funds will need to be submitted. Your captain will update and advise you if any further payment is required. This will need to be paid before you disembark.
Crew Gratuity is separate and is typically 15%-20% of the charter rate. This should be given to your captain at the end of your charter.
