Eight Days in the Caribbean

Eight Days in the Caribbean: A recommended itinerary with All Yachts Worldwide.

Day 1  

Settle into your private yacht in the marina of St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. After a Champagne toast, depart for Watermelon Cay, where you can snorkel, or walk trails through sugar plantation ruins. Cruise through scenic Pillsbury Sound to Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands. Enjoy sundowners at Foxy's, a lively local club.

Day 2  

Weigh anchor and head to Sandy Cay for a lunchtime beach cookout. Take some time to relax on this gorgeous tropical islet before continuing to Cane Garden Bay. Enjoy the local nightlife or a quiet nightcap on board.

Day 3  

Follow the north shore of Tortola Island, passing through the scenic cuts along Beef Island. Anchor at Virgin Gorda and explore The Baths. These beaches and bays are strewn with dramatic giant boulders, making them ideal spots for beachcombing and snorkeling.

Day 4  

Relax on the deserted beaches of Anegada, the seldom-visited northernmost British Virgin Island. You might also enjoy fishing for bonefish on the island's south shore.

Day 5  

Cruise to Salt Island, site of the 1867 shipwreck of the RMS Rhone. After scuba diving or snorkeling around this fascinating historic treasure, drop anchor in Normans Island and enjoy some sundowners at the Willy T's, a famous floating bar. Later in the evening, fish for the huge tarpon living in the bight.

Day 6  

Snorkel around "The Indians," a huge rock formation reputed to resemble a Native American headdress, or simply stay aboard and enjoy the scenery as you cruise to Peter Island for a beach picnic at Deadman's Bay. After lunch, explore The Caves at Treasure Point, made famous by Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island."

Day 7  

Cross back into the U.S. Virgin Islands and stop at Cruz Bay on St. John. Shop in the charming local boutiques, or continue to Christmas Island, a more secluded location for snorkeling and other watersports. Your chef prepares a special farewell dinner tonight.

Day 8  

After one more tropical breakfast, return to St. Thomas to disembark.
