Ten nights, two regions · 10 nights · Simpson Bay, St Maarten to Charlotte Amalie, St Thomas
A weekend in St Barths and Anguilla's beach picnic, an overnight passage downwind, then a week in the Virgins. St Maarten to St Thomas.
St Barths, northern Leewards · 16 nm · 1.5 h · Board, and straight across
Board in Simpson Bay and St Barths is on the bow in ninety minutes. Start on the quiet north-west corner: no road, no building, turtles under the boat. Swim, settle, dinner on deck.
St Barths, northern Leewards · 2 nm · 15 min · Gustavia, Nao, the first night out
Into Gustavia. Lunch at Nao or La Guérite, the boutiques along the quay, a swim at Shell Beach, dinner at Bonito with the harbour lit below, then Le Ti if the table wants to dance.
The idea of the week
The way to see the islands people know by name without rushing either. Start in St Maarten, take St Barths over the weekend and Anguilla for the beach picnic, then slip out after dinner for the one overnight passage of the trip, eighty miles west with the trade wind behind you, and wake up in the Virgin Islands with a week ahead: the Baths, Anegada, Norman Island, Jost Van Dyke and St John, finishing in St Thomas for the direct flight home.
We run it west on purpose. The same passage east, from the Virgins to St Barths, is a long night into the wind. This way most guests sleep through it. Superyacht charters start on any day of the week, so the route stands on its own. If you want the crowd and the DJs in St Barths, we line your dates up so those two nights fall on a Friday and Saturday. Legs are approximate, at a steady ten knots, and the captain adjusts them for the weather on the day.
What the week costs
The yacht's published weekly rate, plus an Advance Provisioning Allowance, customarily 30 percent, for fuel, food, drink and berths, plus local VAT where it applies. Every listing shows its rate.
How charter pricing worksAlso on this coast
Everything we know about Caribbean: when to go, where the fleet is and the other weeks we have planned.
Open CaribbeanWoven into the week
The parts of the week that need a phone call before you arrive: tables, guides, instructors and the toys on deck.
The beach picnicThe crew land a table, chairs, umbrellas and a kitchen on a beach with nobody else on it and cook lunch there. Anguilla is the best place in the Caribbean for one; the crew will find the others.
A themed day or night on board, at least oneThe Caribbean is about the boat, so we plan at least one themed day or night. Tell us the idea before the charter and the crew have the costumes and decorations ready: pirate night is the classic.
Seabobs, paddleboards, wakeboards, the slide if the yacht has one. In the Caribbean the water is the point, and the crew have them in by the time breakfast is cleared.
Reefs off almost every anchorage, a dive instructor on most yachts, and gear for everyone. The Tobago Cays, Anegada's Horseshoe Reef and the Indians in the BVI are the ones people talk about afterwards.
No problem. Most of the islands have a small airstrip and propeller planes run back to the gateway airport, so a mid-charter changeover is a short flight rather than the boat turning round.
A heli pick-up from the yacht for a day on another island, or the flight in from the gateway airport instead of the first cruise. We arrange it and the pilot meets you on the quay.

Make it two weeks
A week is one country. Two weeks reaches the neighbour across the water, and the crossing is part of the trip. Each of these joins onto this week; choose one and we send both weeks, day by day, as one plan.
The other weeks we have planned on this coast, and when to go.
