US Virgin Island Sample Itinerary supplied by Crewed Charter Yacht NUTMEG
This is a sample itinerary for a USVI charter on S/V Nutmeg. We pride ourselves in providing a flexible itinerary for our charter guests. After a day or two, we can adjust the itinerary to what the group wants to do. More sailing, less shopping, more hiking, more snorkeling or diving or less time ashore. The Captain will continually review the itinerary with the guests as we sail around the islands.
Board the Boat at 12 noon at Yacht Haven Grande Marina.
