We liveaboard in Coral Bay, St. John November and we are sheltering for hurricane season at Humacao PR. We cruise from Puerto Rico to Grenada. The USVIs, SVIs, and BVIs have a lot to offer. The USVIs have the Virgin Islands National Park that is remarkable. The BVIs have shore passages, amenities in most anchorages, and the challenges with the mooring fields access. The SVIs have longer passages and many fewer charter yachts. We love all three.

For an opportunity to see the most variety, we prefer to start in the USVIs. Waypoints, former CYOA, is 10 minutes from the STT airport. They have captains, but not chefs, and have new Fountaine Pajot cats and Dufour monohuls. They are working to get the business licenses and work permits for the BVIs so there are USVI/BVI/SVI options. The USVI Governor and the BVI Premier had a recent press conference regarding streamlining the processes, so there is commitment to making that work. Waypoints also has a based at Nanny Cay, Tortola. Before we purchase our own boat we did five flawless charters with CYOA

There are also many crewed charters available. Friends of the forum Dirk & Sandy run impressive Yacht Le Reve. We also know the wonderful crew of Kuma Too, & and Joe. Both crews provide a fully catered experience.

Jay Penning wrote a great itinerary for cruising the USVI. Capt. Jay is a liveaboard sailor at St. Thomas and is the US Base Manager for Waypoints.

The Coral Bay Yacht Club, Sweet Christine and I, wrote a Coral Bay Cruising Guide for St. John. The goal was to fill the gaps in cruising guides for the surge of charter yachts we saw with the opening of Lime Out in Coral Bay.

Whether you charter a yacht or stay on land, it is a wonderful time to visit. We are excited to be able to cruise between the USVI and BVI again,
