Virgin
Island Yacht Charters - The Virgin Islands are
divided between U.S. and British territories. The U.S. Virgin
Islands are St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas. In St. Thomas,
the liveliest of the U.S. Islands, you will find some of the best
dining and duty-free shopping in Charlotte Amalie.
St. John is famous for its untouched, natural beauty. Two-thirds
of the island is a national park. Nature trails on land and the
underwater snorkeling trail at Trunk Bay -- complete with plaques
that describe marine life in the area -- are terrific opportunities
for a close look at some of the Caribbean’s most
beautiful features on a crewed yacht charter.

The British Virgin Islands
are grouped around the Sir Francis Drake Channel. This passage
is among the world's grand boulevards for charter yachts.Scenic
Road Town, Tortola, the island capital, tempts visitors with every
sort of regional and international cuisine.
Virgin Gorda lies east of Tortola and is home to the famous Baths
-- an arrangement of shallow pools and grottoes which flood with
crystal clear sea water creating an unforgettable setting. Nearby
snorkeling is excellent.
Jost Van Dyke, with its charming, informal bars
and restaurants, is the “party island” of the BVI.
Anegada, totally surrounded by a protective reef, is the most
remote. With miles of untouched beaches along the western and
north shores, itis sometimes called "The Beach Lover's Island."
Extensive offshore reefs and wrecks are -home to lobster and exotic
fish and marine life.
