Discover unparalleled sailing trips from St. Thomas to the British Virgin Islands with Beach Charters VI. From quick half-day escapes to multi-day adventures, they deliver customized island experiences marked by local expertise and genuine hospitality.
The U.S. Virgin Islands, with St. Thomas as a bustling gateway, are a striking nexus of crystalline waters, dramatic granite boulders, and warm island breezes. Beach Charters VI anchors its reputation as a premier local outfitter, blending intimate knowledge of the USVI and British Virgin Islands’ shorelines with polished, personable service. Their fleet specializes in varied experiences—from half-day trips perfect for a quick escape, to full-day sails that introduce you to snorkeling spots teeming with sea turtles and schools of vibrant reef fish.
What sets Beach Charters VI apart is the combination of expert captains and attentive hosts like Ivy and Captain TL, who consistently elevate the charter experience through safety, insightful commentary, and hospitality. Guests regularly recount memorable afternoons drifting between the USVI and BVI’s must-see locations, including the famed Baths on Virgin Gorda, where colossal granite formations create unique swim-through grottos and hidden tidal pools.
For travelers looking to extend their adventure, Beach Charters VI offers multi-day term charters and overnight stays at iconic spots such as Nanny Cay Marina—ideal for those wanting to immerse themselves in island life beyond a day trip.
