USVI Sailing Experiences

Leisure | Sailing on a catamaran is generally a more leisurely experience, cruising at a slower pace than a powerboat. But don’t let that deter you from choosing to sail because your captain will help to customize your itinerary to maximize your group’s time on the water. Choosing a sailboat charter just means you’ll spend more time soaking in the sun, shade and sights between your snorkel and beach stops.
