The boom creaks, reef-blue water slaps the hull and a warm trade wind pushes you away from the dock — this is a mid-day private sail through the shimmering channels between St. Thomas and St. John. Onboard a vintage sailing vessel with room for up to six, you glide past cays that hold shallow coral gardens and white sand shallows where sea turtles surface like curious visitors.
