Top 3 Yacht Charters in the US Virgin Islands for Couples & Honeymoons
Introduction
Few experiences are better suited to a honeymoon or romantic escape than spending a week aboard a private yacht in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Instead of sharing a resort with hundreds of other guests, couples can wake up in a quiet anchorage, swim before breakfast, explore secluded beaches and spend evenings dining under the stars.
The relatively short distances between St. Thomas, St. John and the surrounding cays also make the USVI particularly well suited to relaxed cruising. There is less pressure to cover long distances and more time to simply enjoy being together.
For couples looking for privacy, beautiful outdoor spaces and memorable days on the water, these yachts stand out.
SOLAIRE
Best for: A modern, relaxed honeymoon with plenty of outdoor living
SOLAIRE feels naturally suited to couples who want their honeymoon to revolve around sunshine, swimming and easy Caribbean living.
The 55ft Two Oceans power catamaran was built in 2025 and operates in the U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands and Leeward Islands. She accommodates up to six guests in three queen cabins with a crew of two.
For a honeymoon couple chartering privately, that relatively intimate size is a major advantage.
The yacht has been designed around expansive outdoor spaces, with wide stable decks, multiple sun pads and plenty of room for two people to spend long afternoons outside without feeling as though they are aboard an oversized superyacht.
At anchor, SOLAIRE becomes even more appealing.
Couples can snorkel together, paddleboard, kayak or use the sea scooters before relaxing on floating mats or the yacht's floating lounge setup. A waterslide adds a playful element for guests who want something more active.
Small details also make a difference on a romantic charter. SOLAIRE has underwater lighting, a wine cooler, Starlink Wi-Fi and even an onboard pizza oven.
Captain Sam Crone is an experienced diver and sailing instructor, while chef Matilda Kopra specializes in fresh, health-focused cuisine and can adapt meals around individual dietary preferences.
Why couples will love SOLAIRE: She has the right combination of privacy, modern design and outdoor living for a honeymoon that feels relaxed rather than overly formal.
OYA
Best for: Contemporary Sunreef luxury and exceptional private spaces
OYA offers a more refined sailing experience for couples who want contemporary design and significantly more space around them.
Built in 2025, the Sunreef 60 sailing catamaran accommodates up to eight guests in four cabins, including a master suite.
Her layout is particularly attractive for couples.
The aft deck provides shaded alfresco dining, while the foredeck lounge creates a quieter place for relaxing together away from the main social areas. Above, a 36m² flybridge offers plenty of room for sunbathing, sunset drinks and enjoying panoramic views.
Inside, OYA takes a calmer approach to luxury, with darker interior tones and a contemporary atmosphere that works well as a private retreat after a day on the water.
The toy collection is extensive.
Guests can use paddleboards, snorkeling equipment, wakeboard, wakefoil, wakesurf board, waterskis, SeaBob and a floating sea pool. More adventurous couples can also try kitesurfing and kite foiling.
For couples who prefer relaxation, floating loungers and direct access to the sea from the swim platform create an entirely different pace.
Why couples will love OYA: Her master suite, large flybridge and multiple private outdoor spaces make her particularly attractive for couples who want a honeymoon yacht with considerably more room than they actually need.
SHANGRI-LA
Best for: A simple, intimate sailing escape
SHANGRI-LA is the smallest yacht in this selection, which gives her a very different character from SOLAIRE and OYA.
The 42ft Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 was built in 2019 and offers four cabins. Her design emphasizes relaxed sailing, with a bright saloon, spacious cockpit and outdoor areas intended for quiet days at sea.
For a couple, the appeal is intimacy rather than superyacht luxury.
The smaller scale can make the experience feel closer to a private sailing holiday, with evenings spent dining outside, quiet afternoons at anchor and a much stronger connection to the sea.
Air conditioning, cockpit cushions, an exterior shower and onboard entertainment provide the basic comforts needed for longer stays, while snorkeling equipment allows couples to explore once the yacht reaches an anchorage.
Why couples will love SHANGRI-LA: She offers a simpler and more intimate sailing experience for couples who care more about privacy, quiet anchorages and time together than extensive luxury amenities.
