Motor Yacht Charters in US Virgin Islands
A motor yacht charter is the ultimate way to experience the United States Virgin Islands in complete comfort, combining luxury accommodation with the freedom to explore multiple islands at your own pace.

Popular Questions About Motor Yacht Charters in US Virgin Islands
These are the first questions our clients usually ask before they book a motor yacht charter in US Virgin Islands
Are motor yachts all-inclusive in the United States Virgin Islands?
Most luxury motor yachts are not all-inclusive. The advertised charter fee covers the yacht and professional crew, while operating expenses such as fuel, food, beverages, marina fees, and other variable costs are typically paid through the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance). Your broker will explain exactly what's included before booking.
Is a motor yacht worth the extra cost compared to a catamaran?
If your priorities are luxury, privacy, speed, and premium onboard amenities, absolutely. Motor yachts allow you to cover more of the Caribbean in less time while offering larger cabins, higher service levels, and facilities rarely found on catamarans, including Jacuzzis, beach clubs, and extensive water toy collections.
Can a motor yacht visit both the United States Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands?
Yes, many motor yachts can cruise between the United States Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands, provided they have the necessary cruising permits and customs clearance. This allows you to enjoy iconic destinations such as St. John, Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke, and Norman Island within a single itinerary.
How far in advance should I book a motor yacht charter?
For the widest choice of yachts and crews, we recommend booking 6 to 12 months in advance, particularly if you're travelling between December and April or during Christmas and New Year. The most sought-after motor yachts often secure bookings well before the season begins.
