I'm Jelena Perković a 25 year old culinary enthusiast from the capital of Croatia, Zagreb. My academic journey led me to a master's degree on the faculty of kinesiology, the place that introduced me to the world of sailing. I really loved that experience, so I choose sailing as a specialization when I was on my fourth year of studies. In 2021, I started working on a catamaran as a guide/stew. That position allowed me to combine my love for physical activity and cooking. I quickly adapted to the unique demands of life at sea and became a solo stewardess. I was working as a solo stewardess last two seasons on the Adriatic sea. Mostly on catamarans ( Lagoon 46, Saona 47, Aura 51, Bali 5.4 etc) but also some sailboats and motor yachts. One of intersecting things in 2023 was my participation in "Survivor Croatia“ that was filming in the Dominican Republic. This experience tested my physical and mental resilience and taught me the importance of positive attitude and adaptability. I was taekwondo athlete for 10 years and then 2 years of track & field so I am still living a healthy lifestyle. I am passionate about cooking and continuously seeking new knowledge and techniques in culinary world. I look forward to the opportunity to creating a magical trip for our guests aboard Epiphany!
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to charter a yacht in the US Virgin Islands?
The US Virgin Islands enjoy warm temperatures and excellent cruising conditions throughout the year, making them one of the Caribbean's most reliable yacht charter destinations. The most popular season runs from December through April, when sunny skies, low rainfall, and comfortable trade winds create ideal conditions for life on the water. May through July offers equally enjoyable weather with fewer crowds, while late summer and autumn can provide excellent value for guests seeking lower rates and quieter anchorages. We can help you choose the best time based on your preferences, budget, and desired itinerary.
Do I need a passport to charter a yacht in the US Virgin Islands?
For US citizens travelling directly to the US Virgin Islands, a passport is generally not required, although government-issued identification is recommended. International visitors will typically need a valid passport and any applicable visas. If your itinerary includes cruising into the British Virgin Islands, all guests will need the appropriate travel documents for customs and immigration clearance. We'll guide you through any requirements before your charter begins.
How do I get to my yacht charter in the US Virgin Islands?
Most guests fly into Cyril E. King Airport (STT) on St. Thomas, the main gateway to the US Virgin Islands. The airport offers numerous direct flights from major cities across the United States and convenient connections from Europe and elsewhere. Many yachts embark directly from St. Thomas, while others begin in nearby marinas or on St. John, which can be reached by a short ferry or private transfer. We'll coordinate all travel logistics to ensure a seamless arrival experience.
How far in advance should I book a US Virgin Islands yacht charter?
For the best selection of yachts, we recommend booking 6 to 12 months in advance, especially for travel during Christmas, New Year, spring break, and the peak winter season. The most sought-after crewed catamarans and luxury yachts are often reserved many months ahead. Booking early gives you access to the widest choice of yachts, preferred cabins, and the most desirable charter dates.
Do I need sailing experience for a crewed yacht charter in the US Virgin Islands?
No sailing experience is required. On a crewed yacht charter, your professional captain manages all navigation, route planning, and yacht operations, while the chef and crew take care of meals, service, and activities throughout your trip. Whether you're completely new to yachting or an experienced charter guest, your only responsibility is to relax and enjoy the experience.
Can I visit both the US Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands on the same charter?
Yes. Many charter itineraries combine the US Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands, allowing guests to experience the highlights of both destinations in a single vacation. Popular routes include St. Thomas, St. John, Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke, and Norman Island. Not every yacht is licensed to operate in both territories, so we'll recommend suitable yachts and assist with all customs and immigration arrangements.
Is a crewed catamaran or a motor yacht better for a US Virgin Islands charter?
For most guests, a luxury crewed catamaran is the perfect platform for exploring the US Virgin Islands. Their shallow draft allows access to secluded bays and beaches, while their spacious decks and excellent stability make them ideal for families and groups. A motor yacht is better suited to guests seeking higher cruising speeds, additional luxury amenities, or the flexibility to cover greater distances during their charter. The best choice depends on your group size, budget, and preferred style of travel.
What are the best islands to visit on a US Virgin Islands yacht charter?
St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix each offer a unique experience. St. Thomas is known for its lively waterfront, shopping, and vibrant beach scene, while St. John is celebrated for its pristine beaches, protected national park waters, and exceptional snorkeling. St. Croix offers a more laid-back atmosphere, rich history, and outstanding diving opportunities. Your captain can tailor the itinerary to match your interests, ensuring you experience the very best of the US Virgin Islands.
