St John Yacht Charter, Caribbean.

St John provides a fantastic location for a US Virgin Islands yacht charter vacation. This charming Caribbean Island is located in the US Virgin Island Archipelago in the northern waters of the Caribbean Sea east of Puerto Rico. Two thirds of this stunning island is National Park protected both above and below the water. St John is a nature lover’s paradise and the perfect island to visit during your luxury yacht charter in the Caribbean.

The smallest of the three U.S. Virgin Islands, St John retains a serene, well-preserved beauty that is a little different to the other islands of the Caribbean. With countless white sand beaches, beautiful coves with crystal clear waters for snorkeling, as well as hiking trails throughout its extensive national park, St John is a must for every Virgin Island yacht charter itinerary.

Cruz Bay is the "main town" of St. John. Shopping and dining options are plentiful, with local artwork, luxury items, and local and international cuisine. The Elaine lone Sprauve Library and Museum near downtown Cruz Bay contains historic artifacts and works created by local artists. Nearby Hawksnest Bay has a pristine beach popular with snorkelers because of its nearby reef.

St John has a long and interesting history. In the Early 1700’s Danish immigrants were attracted to St John’s potential as a sugar cane-producing colony and migrated to the island to start a booming sugar cane industry. The ruins of the Annaberg Sugar Plantation and other smaller plantations can still be visited today. The extensive sugar cane farming, however, did little to affect the natural beauty of St. John and since the farming stopped the second generation forests have taken over where the plantations once were. In 1956, Laurence Rockefeller was so moved by the island that he bought and donated broad expanses of land to the National Park Service to keep St. John "a thing of joy forever."

The best way to experience St John is to arrive there on your own bareboat, luxury crewed catamaran or luxury yacht to enjoy its quite and protected anchorages from the privacy of your own launch. Your CharterWorld Consultant has access to all of the best yachts available for charter in the Virgin Islands and would be pleased to assist you with your vacation plans.
