Discovered in 1493 on his second voyage
to the new world, Christopher Columbus
named these islands the Virgin Islands
after St. Ursula and her 11,000 virgins.
Over history several different European
countries laid claim to the territory
which is now comprised of the United States
Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands
and the Spanish Virgin Islands. Five centuries
later many of the islands exist as they
were first charted - an uninhabited natural
paradise. An island symphony yacht vacation
is your passage to experience the beauty
that Columbus fell in love with and so
much more.
The Virgin Islands lie at Latitude 18
where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean
Sea. This archipelago of over 100 islands
and cays looks like a string of emerald
jewels glistening in the sun and vibrant
turquoise water found only in the Caribbean.
The surrounding water is considered by
many to be the finest cruising ground
in the world. Professional and amateur
sailors from all over the world converge
on the Virgins because of their constant
trade winds and extraordinarily calm seas.
Because there are so many accessible
islands each with a different flavor,
a private yacht charter is the best way
to experience the Virgin Islands. Your
attentive crew holds the key to unlocking
each island’s best kept secrets.
The variety of terrain within the Virgin
Islands includes mountains to hike, rainforest
to discover and historic shipwrecks to
dive. The awards for world’s best
beaches are too numerous to list as each
island has a stake in the title. Some
favorites are the idyllic hammocks and
beach bars that dot the white sand beaches
of Jost Van Dyke where you can meet interesting
people from all over the world or Sandy
Spit an uninhabited acre of paradise perfection,
where you can spend the afternoon pretending
to be a castaway albeit with a champagne
picnic.
Virgin Islands National Park in St. John
covers two thirds of the island and a
vast majority of the surrounding water.
A visit to Leinster Bay reveals a starfish
colony with a larger population than most
of the islands. The British Virgin Islands
are nicknamed, “Nature’s Little
Secrets”. After experiencing an
afternoon marveling at the house sized
boulders and hidden beaches and pools
that make up Virgin Gorda’s Baths
you will see one the secrets that is both
kept and shared.
The Spanish Virgin’s of Vieques,
Culebra, Culebrita, and the surrounding
cays are the latest miracle to be opened
to the charter industry. Coupled with
stops on the Puerto Rican mainland you
can have your cake and eat it too –
a vacation filled with exploration, adventure,
luxury, and GOLF on some of the Caribbean’s
most acclaimed courses.
