Tropical Luxury In The US Virgin Islands
BEST TIME TO VISIT
As a tropical island, there is a distinct wet season. The ideal time for a boat charter to St Thomas is during these winter months – November to March – when it’s dry and far less humid than the summer.
Peak charter months in St Thomas are December and January. Over these months, the island is filled with holidaymakers sprawled out on beaches, sipping cocktails on luxurious lounge chairs and tending along the crystal waters.
Activities & Experiences
On your St Thomas yacht charter, we recommend making the most of your waterborne transport to travel the island and some of its surrounds.

Dating back to 1680, Fort Christian is a sight you can’t really miss. On the waterfront by Charlotte Amalie Pier, this imposing structure is an early settlement on the island. Its red facade contrasts beautifully with the deep green shrubs and trees surrounding it.
A few streets back from Fort Christian is another iconic structure, the St. Thomas Synagogue, the second oldest in the Western Hemisphere. The childhood home of one of the best-known French Impressionists, Camille Pissarro, is also in this area.
Over now, to the east, is the Caribbean Fish Market overlooking Cowpet Bay and St James Marine Reserve. Sample a fine dining feast of seafood fresh from the water. Sip cocktails and take in the tranquil view.
Iggies Beach Bar and Grill in the south is a venue with an upbeat atmosphere for delicious bites, live entertainment and parties that go on into the evening.
