Drop anchor in one of the Caribbean’s most famous bays, framed by lush hills and a mile of white sand. Swim, paddleboard, or simply enjoy the calm turquoise water while your crew sets up a beach picnic. It’s a postcard-perfect stop that blends relaxation with natural beauty.

Both spots are easy to reach by tender and reward you with vibrant coral reefs, schools of tropical fish, and the chance to spot sea turtles. Coki Point also has a lively beach scene with casual food and drinks right on the sand. Secret Harbour, on the other hand, feels quieter and more intimate for a slower pace.

Sail into the harbor and tender ashore to explore the historic capital of the USVI. Wander cobblestone streets lined with duty-free shops, then indulge in a waterfront dinner at a fine restaurant featuring fresh seafood and Caribbean flavors. It’s the perfect balance of culture and cuisine after a day at sea.

From the Charlotte Amalie harbor, step onto the gondola that whisks you up to one of the best viewpoints on the island. The panoramic overlook is breathtaking, especially at sunset, and there’s a lively bar at the top for cocktails. Watching your yacht at anchor far below makes the experience even more special.

Just across the harbor from Charlotte Amalie, Hassel Island is a hidden gem full of history and hiking trails. Explore 19th-century ruins, then climb to panoramic viewpoints overlooking the harbor. Because it’s accessible only by small boat, it feels like a private adventure.

A short sail from St. Thomas, Christmas Cove offers calm waters perfect for snorkeling, paddleboarding, and sunset cocktails on deck. It’s also home to the floating restaurant Pizza Pi, where you can order gourmet pizza straight to your dinghy. This anchorage combines fun, relaxation, and a dash of quirky island charm.
