YOUR TIME IS VALUABLE, DON'T WASTE A MINUTE OF IT!

BEAUTIFUL NEW BOATS, IMPECCABLE MAINTENANCE, AND FRIENDLY, KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF

Virgin Islands Yacht Charters directly manages the charter fleet.  We are not a broker.  We do work with many reputable and trustworthy charter brokers who regularly book our boats and are familiar with our procedures and knowledgeable of the local cruising grounds.  At the same time, there are many brokers out there who know absolutely nothing about our fleet OR even the Virgin Islands themselves.  Please be aware. 

Catamarans are wonderfully spacious and provide ample area for moving around.  Whether it is in the cockpit or salon which spans over both hulls allowing for a larger area inside, the foredeck with the trampoline  for sun-tanning, or the great lounging area on the top deck you will enjoy the variety of ways to spend your day on the water.  Cats are much more stable than their counterparts which can be much better for new or inexperienced sailors who haven't quite found their sea legs yet or those who are prone to seasickness.   Two engines allow for greater maneuverability when in a marina or picking up mooring balls and thus, have gained popularity in recent years.  And, you will love the panoramic views!

What People Are Saying . . .

The Osborn Family

VIYC was one of the best charter companies we've used. They keep their word and honor their promises. They promptly fix stuff and immediately talk us through solvable problems. They know the boat, the waters, and sailing area, the culture.

Scuby's operations briefing was one of the best I've attended in my years of chartering.  

                                                                                                                                       ~Fred Osborn

I had the pleasure of chartering a yacht from Virgin Islands Yacht Charters out of Compass Point, St Thomas.  I have chartered numerous yachts over the years; as well as operated by own charter sailing yacht for five years.  Kristi and Jim, the owners, do an outstanding job of assuring the yacht is ready to go and in top shipshape.  Any follow up or support if needed is prompt and efficient.  I highly recommend Virgin Islands Yacht Charters.

Jim & Kristi,

Thanks so much for completing our experience. Our past charter experiences in the BVI were a mixed bag of paradise, apathetic service, and mechanically challenged yachts. God made the islands beautiful, you two made sailing them a pleasure by providing friendly service and an excellent line of yachts. This experience felt less like a charter and more like borrowing a great boat from old friends. 

We’ll be back…                                                                                          ~Rev. Seth Sundstrom

Honoring Lady Lynsey’s Legacy

As sailing enthusiasts and boat aficionados, there’s nothing we love more than a vessel with history – Lady Lynsey is no exception. Her story stems back to the Golden Age of piracy with a young girl in the Virgin Islands. Born to a poor family, and despite the fact that female captains were unheard of at the time, “Lynsey” (as she called herself) was determined to become one of the fiercest pirates to ever sail the Caribbean. 

In honor of Lynsey, our crew ensures that every excursion into the waters surrounding St. John and St. Thomas is meaningful, memorable, and extraordinary. As part of the RED Hospitality and Leisure family, we believe in curating experiences that lead to stories told around the dinner table for years.

Why our customers love us!

This review is over due in writing, because it’s been almost a month since we had the most incredible time with this precious company, who took my family and I out on their beautiful boat for the day! Everything was beyond amazing! Mariah the first mate, was so attentive and kind to all of our needs, she totally went over and beyond! And captain Ethan, was so kind and incredibly knowledgeable about where to sail and snorkel that would meet all our desires! He is a captain that truly cares about his passengers and also went over and beyond in helping us with anything we needed! They are both purely amazing! Our time snorkeling and sailing was the absolute highlight of our trip! Thank you so much Ethan and Mariah, hope to see you guys next year!!! God Bless you both!

One of the best ways to experience the USVIs is by sailboat and Blue Dream Charters did not disappoint. We booked a private charter for two days of our vacation where Tommy + Erin showed us some of the most beautiful spots in St. Thomas + St. John. The views were stunning and the snorkeling was so fun. We stopped by a few popular spots and visited hidden gems, learning history + fun facts along the way. Tacos + pizza for lunch were perfect after afternoons spent swimming. What made this trip so special - we were able to bring our two small dogs with us. Tommy + Erin were so accommodating and sweet to them and we were able to make some fun memories. Thanks for everything, Blue Dream crew! 💙

We had such an amazing time celebrating my brothers 30th birthday! Tommy and Luke were the absolute best, we could not have asked for better service. We had a group of 8 and there was plenty to drink and eat for our entire group and our cups never ran empty! We are already planning our trip for next year and we will definitely be booking with Blue Dream again! We seriously can’t thank them enough for such an incredible day!! Highly, highly recommended!!!

Six of us had a wonderful private charter out of Cruz Bay last week. Captain Will was knowledgable and accommodating of our diverse snorkel group, providing close supervision to those who needed it. Jarred (sp?), his first mate, was a wealth of information about the history, landscape, marine life and local culture peppering information into informal conversation throughout. We sailed, visited a couple of beautiful reefs we could not have accessed via Jeep on St. John, and enjoyed a very relaxing day on the water together. We got some great photos and will remember this experience as one of the highlights of our visit. Thanks Tommy and company for the memories made!

Captain Tommy and his crew catered to our every whim as they dodged the rainstorms and found the perfect, quiet, beautiful anchorage where they produced a delicious meal of fresh mahi or chicken tacos with all the fixings. The boat was extremely comfortable and spacious and a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy a special birthday. The margaritas were excellent, and they kept them coming. It was truly a perfect evening. Thank you guys.

Captain Kyle and Henry were fabulous! This activity made an incredible vacation fabulous! Kyle and Henry made everyone comfortable and make the trip fun. Kyle even gave us some history of the landmarks we saw. I would recommend Kyle and Henry and this boat ride as a must do!

This day was great and so was the boat and the captain. We had our family of 4 and we went out with Brian for a full day around St John. We had such a great time and he was the nicest person and so easy to talk to. He also knew alot about the island and its history. He also made the best rum punch. (best we had while on the island for a week) BEST DAY WE HAD ON VACAY. Highly recommend this company for your boat day needs and ask for Brian.

What a great time we had. Wedding went well, and the snorkeling at water island. They took us where we saw sea turtles and stingrays. The captain and Rachel we such great hosts, so attentive and just so nice. We all enjoyed our half day tour. Can’t say enough good things about them!

We spent half day celebrating our friends one-year Wedding Anniversary on Pisces catamaran! It was such an amazing time; Captain Connor and his first mate Chelsea were excellent! It was tranquil and quite relaxing; I will certainly use them again when ever my family and friends visit us in St. Thomas! I will also recommend Seas the Day Charters and Tours to my Airbnb guests!

What an incredible day!! Captan Bryan is amazing and probably the best captain we’ve ever had! He listened to basically what we wanted to do and then crafted the itinerary to perfection. We circumnavigated St. John and he took us to some of the most beautiful spots for snorkeling and just relaxing in the water. His superb timing got us to Lime Out for lunch at JUST the right time to secure us the best Lilly pad in the house! He was personal and informative and took the trip (which would have been great by itself) to the next level. Highly recommend!!

We had an absolutely fabulous day with Glenn! Truly, it could not have been better! Glenn is a very experienced sailor and very knowledgeable about the Caribbean. He is also a great guy and we all thoroughly enjoyed hanging with him for the day. We snorkeled at several great spots in the BVI, visited Willie T's and Soggy Dollar.

Whenever we visit St John "Boat Day" is always everyone's favorite day of the the vacation. This year was fabulous! We are a 3 generation family of 11 with six kids ages 9 and under. Captain Alex and First mate Aaron found out exactly what we like to do and they made it happen. The snorkeling was amazing, lunch from the pizza boat was delicious and fun and the time out on the water all day cannot be beat. Thank you Seas the Day and especially to Alex and Aaron. Our day really could not have been better!!!

An amazing experience to St. John! We went to snorkel at 2 different places that were both beautiful! Captain Greg and Coleman were amazing and so nice. They answered all of our many questions about the island and gave us the best information. They were so knowledgeable! We never felt rushed and we felt like they wanted to give us the best experience possible. The boat was so clean and the snorkeling gear was great. Very professional. This is the charter to book!
