What an Advisor Can Open Here

What an advisor can open that an algorithm cannot. Each of these is staged on your terms — the access, the timing, the people.

Magens Bay at dawn, alone
01

Magens Bay at dawn, alone

The bay walked at 6am before any resort vehicle reaches the parking area — the curved white crescent, the palms casting long shadows, the Caribbean at its most translucent in the morning light, the water temperature identical to the air.

A sailing charter to the British Virgin Islands
02

A sailing charter to the British Virgin Islands

A crewed sloop from Red Hook to the BVI — Norman Island's caves, the Baths at Virgin Gorda, an anchorage at Jost Van Dyke for the last rum punch of the afternoon, the US and British waters separated only by the colour of the buoys.

Sunset from a private villa above Charlotte Amalie

An estate above the Danish colonial capital — the harbour below, the cruise ships a distant irrelevance, the Caribbean spreading south, a dinner prepared by the villa's chef from the morning market while the sun drops behind Water Island.

Curated St Thomas Journeys

Not a package — a starting point. Each is a journey we have designed and refined; your advisor reshapes it for the version only you would recognise.

St Thomas for the Family
Family

St Thomas for the Family

The US Virgin Islands as a sailing family's ideal base — Magens Bay for the morning, a catamaran to St John for the reef, a snorkelling charter to the BVI for the older children, and the Saturday market in Charlotte Amalie for the adults.

St Thomas by Sail
Sailing

St Thomas by Sail

A crewed yacht from Red Hook to the BVI — Norman Island's sea caves at dusk, a night at anchor in the bight of Cooper Island, the Baths of Virgin Gorda at the hour the tide pools are quietest, and the run back to Magens Bay.

St Thomas by Yacht
Yacht & Coast

St Thomas by Yacht

A crewed yacht from Red Hook to the British Virgin Islands — Norman Island's sea caves at the hour the light comes through the entrance, a night at anchor in the bight of Beef Island, the Baths of Virgin Gorda at the tide that makes the rock pools accessible, and the run home before the trade wind drops.

Winter Sun in St Thomas
Winter Escape

Winter Sun in St Thomas

The US Virgins at their most consistent — December to April brings the trade winds and the calm Caribbean, the BVI sailing season at its best, and the sort of visibility in Magens Bay that makes the water look fabricated.
