Private Charter Destinations
USVI Charters
Our full and half day USVI charters are custom, private charters. When you book a private charter, the boat is yours for the day - we do not mix groups on private charters. The only person on the boat besides your family and friends is the captain, but they won't be strangers for long. On a private charter, you call the shots when it comes to the itinerary and the day's schedule.
There's lots to do and see in US waters: snorkeling, sightseeing, visiting Pizza Pi or Limeout, swimming with turtles just to name a few.
BVI Charters
BVI charters are custom, private charters where it's only your family and friends on board with the captain. The captain will work with you to design an itinerary for your day on the water that is perfect for your group. We offer two BVI private charters: a BVI full day private charter and a "Just Jost" private charter.
A Word About Customs
Because we will be visiting a foreign country, passports are required for every person on board. We are required to submit our customs and immigration information electronically prior to our departure, so we'll need to collect some information from you after you book your BVI trip. After booking, you will receive an email with instructions on how to provide your passport information.
We will also collect customs fees ($80/person*) in cash from each person when they board the boat. Our first stop in the morning is BVI customs/immigration. (* There will be additional BVI customs fees on Sundays and Holidays.)
Big News
We’re excited to share that Shades of Blue Charters is now approved to use a streamlined reentry process when returning from the British Virgin Islands!
What does this mean for you?
No more mandatory in-person check-in with US Customs in St. John at the end of your charter. That means no lines, no waiting, and no delays—just more time soaking up paradise in the BVI.
We know how unpredictable and time-consuming the customs process used to be. Now, with this new program, your day on the water ends just as amazing as it began.
More time exploring. Less time waiting.
BVI Full Day Private Charter
The BVI is the ultimate charter boat playground. There are so many beautiful places to see and fun things to do there!
On the BVI full day private charter, you have so many options available to you. Whether it's visiting the Baths on Virgin Gorda, snorkeling the Caves and Indians at Norman Island, observing (or participating in) the shenanigans at the Willy T, beach bar hopping, or exploring a beautiful, deserted island surrounded by turquoise water, your captain will help you design an itinerary that is perfect for your group.
"Just Jost" Private Charter
The name says it all! This private trip is designed for those who want a later start and only want to visit the popular Jost Van Dyke.
On this trip, the theme is having fun at a leisurely pace. The itinerary and schedule for the "Just Jost" trip is simple and uncomplicated. After clearing customs, you will get to enjoy any number of the lively beach bars and restaurants that Jost is known for. If there is interest, we can stop at Sandy Spit (aka Corona Island) where you can explore a deserted tropical island surrounded by turquoise water.
Possible stops include Foxy's, Foxy's Taboo, the Bubbly Pools, Corsairs, the Soggy Dollar Bar, Hendos, Ivan's Stress Free Bar, and the B-Line Beach Bar just to name a few. Just tell the captain where you want to go!
If you like sun-soaked, white sand beaches and lively beach bars, then this is the trip for you!
