The 15 Best Private Boat Charters in the US Virgin Islands

27 reviewed

Split four ways, a private boat costs roughly what a seat on a big catamaran does, and you write the route. Here are the charters worth the money: fast powerboats for island-hopping, luxury cats for a slow day, six-guest sailboats. Day rates, how many the boat takes, what the captain provides, and where each one picks up.
