Enjoy a leisurely sail over to Caneel Bay on St John, a perfect stop for your first evening on board. Head ashore for a walk along the endless white sand beach before sundowners on the deck before dinner!
Wake up at your leisure and enjoy your coffee on the bow, welcoming in a beautiful morning. If you are feeling energetic, enjoy a quiet paddleboard along the shallow shores or curl up with your book for a slower pace. After breakfast, set sail and head to the famous Trunk Bay to explore the underwater world before lunch.
In the afternoon, you'll be off to Francis Bay or a little further east to Waterlemon Cay, Leinster Bay, St John, for the night. There are some great trails onshore to stretch out your sea legs, particularly the trail up to the Annaberg Plantation, which is in great condition and takes you back to the days of milling sugar cane to make rum.
In the morning, there is plenty of time for a lovely snorkel before you head off to Coral Harbor, located on the South-Eastern side of St John. Here, there is a fun, floating taco bar named Limeout, serving amazing tacos. Dine in one of their large floating tables, pick up and dine on board or get a delivery to your yacht. If you head ashore to walk around, you will find the Calabash Market, in Johnson Bay where you can shop souvenirs, pottery or clothing to your heart's desire!
Either stay in Coral Harbour for the night or enjoy a short late-afternoon sail around to Hansen Bay. Hansen Bay is one of those secluded beaches you dream of. While Hansen Bay is a private beach, it offers guests the opportunity to share with a donation. Once ashore, you can swim with turtles, spot starfish glowing in the water, and even cast your eyes upon the endangered staghorn coral. Spend your late afternoon venturing out to discover hidden corners and tucked-away coves.
After breakfast, enjoy a lovely short sail around the south point of St John to the turtle viewing hotspot – Lameshur Bay National Park. Head ashore and hike the Yawzi Point Trail, or head to a bay around the corner called Genti Bay and explore some more sugar mill ruins.
As most days on the water, today brings options! Sail around to Cruz Bay, the heart of St John and usually hustling and bustling with cruise ship activity, or do an island tour of St John's beautiful National Parks sites. Get some shopping in, and sample the local VI culture or enjoy a gentle afternoon sail across to overnight at Christmas Cove on Great Saint James Island. Visit the famous and award-winning floating restaurant Pizza Pi that serves amazing homemade Italian pizzas! Something different to see, for sure.
Sail on to Water Island, which gets its name from being one of the few places in the Caribbean with freshwater ponds where sailing vessels of old could replenish their freshwater casks. Your crew can always nip you over to Crown Bay Marina to explore historical Frenchtown and Charlotte Amalie, renowned for fabulous shopping and restaurants.
Enjoy one more delicious breakfast onboard and a last dip in the Caribbean Sea before a quick sail back to base. Bid your lovely crew goodbye with plans to return again!
