The morning light breaks across a low, warm swell as the 36' power catamaran eases out of American Yacht Harbor in Red Hook. You step onto wide nets at the bow, the engine’s low thrum undercutting gulls and the smell of salt; ahead, Lovango Cay and the green ribs of St. John draw nearer. This private charter is a day designed around water—snorkel stops, shallow seagrass flats where sea turtles graze, and quiet beaches reached only by boat.
