Day 1: Fly into the Cyril E. King (STT) airport on St. Thomas. Charters typically start at noon, so we suggest arriving in the morning or, better yet, the evening before your charter date. Take a short taxi ride to either American Yacht Harbor (Red Hook) or Yacht Haven Grande (Charlotte Amalie) where we'll arrange to have your Captain and crew meet you. Drop your bags and allow the crew to escort you to your own private yacht for the week! After settling in and a quick bite to eat, set sail to one of St. Thomas's smaller outlying islands. Enjoy a peaceful evening with delicious food and cocktails catered to your unique preferences the yacht's culinary trained chef.
