The experience

The boat leaves American Yacht Harbor at 4:30pm, giving you two hours on the water timed to catch the sunset at its peak. You sail off St. John and past Honeymoon Beach, Cruz Bay and the silhouettes of Big and Little St. James Islands while the light changes across the Caribbean. The 50-foot Voyage catamaran is built for stability in open water, so the ride stays smooth even as the sun moves lower.

Champagne flows throughout: a bottle of Veuve Clicquot is the centerpiece, though you can choose fine red or white wine instead. A cheese tray arrives with breads, crackers and chocolate bites. The crew handles everything (navigation, service, the timing), so your group just sits back and watches. Because you're booking the entire yacht rather than joining strangers, the pace and the mood stay exactly as your group wants it.

The price covers the captain, crew and fuel, so there are no surprises when you arrive. All water aboard comes from Virgin H2O in 5-gallon vessels as part of the eco-friendly operation. Infants can sit on an adult's lap, and service animals are welcome.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What's the actual sunset timing on this charter?

The boat departs at 4:30pm local time, which positions your group on the water during the hour when the sun drops to the horizon. The exact moment depends on the date you sail, but the two-hour window is built around catching it at its most dramatic.

How does the boat handle if the water gets rough?

The 50-foot Voyage catamaran is a luxury catamaran designed for stability, which means it rides smoothly even in open water. The route sails around the islands rather than heading far offshore, so conditions stay manageable for all fitness levels.

You book the entire yacht for your group of up to 12 people. No other guests join. The boat and crew are yours alone for the two hours.
