Pricing Guide
Luxury charter pricing in the USVI varies based on vessel size, duration, and inclusions:
| Charter Type | Duration | Typical Price | Guests |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half-Day Luxury | 4 hours | $2,500–$4,000 | Up to 6 |
| Full-Day Luxury | 6–8 hours | $4,000–$8,000 | Up to 8 |
| Sunset Cruise | 3 hours | $1,800–$3,000 | Up to 6 |
