Day 1

St Thomas

The capital and largest city in the US Virgin Islands, Charlotte Amalie is a natural harbor steeped in history. Once a Dutch port and favourite haunt of pirates, feel its ambiance as you wander through the colorful and historic streets.

Day 2

Water Island

Less than 500 acres in size, stroll along the white sandy beaches of Water Island, admire the exotic wildlife and unwind in this idyllic sunny haven. Head to Honeymoon Beach to enjoy the tranquil azure waters; relax on the sand or take to the sea to discover the coral reefs and find a diverse range of marine life. For those wishing to explore on land, roam the abandoned ruins and underground tunnels of Fort Segarra, built as part of the United States’ defense strategy during World War II.

Day 3

Hans Lollik Island

Separated from St Thomas by the Leeward passage lies the picture-perfect private island of Hans Lollik. Allow yourself to spend the day relaxing at Coconut Beach, a tropical paradise of beautiful white sands, palm forests and cliffs located on the southern end of the island. Swim in the warm turquoise waters, explore the diverse coral reefs and keep an eye out for wild donkeys strolling by on the shore. As the day comes to an end, make the most of your beautiful surroundings by sipping a delicious cocktail on the beach whilst watching the Caribbean sunset.

Embrace the beauty of this uninhabited island, taking in the unique views of the pristine sea and wildlife sanctuary from the deck of your superyacht.

Day 5

St John

The smallest of the three main US Virgin Islands and two-thirds a National Park, St John is rich in history having been originally settled by the Arawak and Carib Indians. With artifacts and petroglyphs hidden amongst the valleys and rock pools, this island is wonderful to explore and has magical hiking trails that hug the coastline. Afterwards sit back and relax on Trunk Bay, whose white sand and dense green foliage give the impression of being on a deserted island. For those keen to explore below the surface, follow the underwater snorkeling trail through stunning coral reefs.

Day 6

St Croix

The largest of the Virgin Islands, St Croix offers a variety of land activities. Whether exploring tropical rainforests by Jeep, spending the day on the golf course or shopping, there is something for everyone. Spend two days sampling the Caribbean’s best restaurants and bars, taste traditional island cuisine prepared with only the freshest ingredients. Those enjoying happy hour must try the ‘Painkiller’, a delicious Virgin Islands favorite made up of rum, coconut, pineapple and orange. For the aquatics, “The Wall” is a renowned barrier reef and well worth a visit for its bright coral and shoals of fish.

Day 8

Buck Island

Buck Island is renowned for its beautiful coral reef ecosystem which guests can experience via an underwater trail. Discover bountiful marine life or explore the island on foot, taking a short uphill hike for a birds-eye view out to sea.

After another day exploring, head back to your luxury yacht to dine in style with delicious ingredients freshly prepared by your own private chef.

Day 9

Vieques

Vieques is a Puerto Rican island and municipality located just seven miles off the East Coast. A true reflection of the Caribbean, Vieques is brimming with life. While on this beautiful island, take the time to admire its architecture and visit the special Ceiba tree, which is over three centuries old and thought to be a sacred site for locals. For those wanting to make unique memories on their charter holiday, another must-see when visiting this Caribbean island is Mosquito Bay. This natural wonder is truly remarkable, holding the reputation of the world’s brightest bioluminescent bay.

Culebra

Culebra is a nature lover’s paradise; arrive on your private superyacht and enjoy peace and tranquillity. Flamenco Beach is consistently ranked as one of the best beaches in the world, with its white sand, crystal clear water and iconic tank remnant of the island’s military history. Hop on the tender and head to shore to enjoy freshly caught specialties of swordfish, snapper, octopus, and shrimp at local restaurants! After you’ve explored the beautiful beaches, sampled the cuisine, and been for a swim in some of the breathtaking barrier reefs that surround the island, return to your private yacht to relax, unwind, and soak up the sun.

Day 11

Culebrita

Culebrita is a one-mile-long coral island located off the northeast corner of her sister island Culebra. Remote and uninhabited, the clear water makes Culebrita ideal for snorkeling and you’re sure to see one of the many wild turtles that reside in these waters. Visit the “baths,” a rock formation where northern waves crash against the rocks and experience the natural jacuzzi-like feeling. The more adventurous might want to follow a trail inland to lighthouse ruins formerly known as ‘Faro Isla De Culebritas.’ Operating from 1886 util 1975, these ruins will transcend time and take you back to when the island was more than a haven of tranquility.

Day 12

Isla Palominos

Found off the east coast of Puerto Rico, Isla Palominos will fill you with peaceful ambiance as you relax under palm trees, swim and snorkel in the azure waters. Isla Palominos is also ideal for anchoring off a secluded beach and enjoying the fleet of water toys available on your private yacht or simply relaxing in the Caribbean sun.

Day 13

Fajardo

On the easternmost tip of Puerto Rico, Fajardo is known for its breathtaking views. Explore the shoreline and the tranquil narrow canals by kayak, where nature reserves are alive with coral reefs, lagoons, and mangroves. To immerse yourself in Fajardo’s history, visit one of the island’s oldest lighthouses, built in 1880 and offering breathtaking views of other Caribbean islands. The restaurants in this area of the island will not disappoint you; savour authentic and eclectic dishes prepared with catch of the day such as lobster and red snapper.
