Watch six new videos of crewed yacht charter catamarans sailing the US Virgin Islands! Where is the easiest place to travel to right now if you want warm water & tropical breezes? The U.S. Virgin Islands! The USVI recently announced all residents ages 16 or older can receive the COVID-19 vaccine, making it the first United States territory to offer the vaccine to such a large majority of residents.

See the list of anchorages and itinerary below. Every traveler aged five or older is required to use the USVI Travel Screening Portal and submit an acceptable COVID-19 test result prior to travel. A test is not required to return home and no passport is needed.
