St. Thomas Yacht Club

We joined the yacht club at St. Thomas, since we plan to spend several months each year operating from the US and British Virgin Islands. It is a good base of operations for us, situated just across the bay from Christmas Cove, which is one of our favorite local anchorages in St. Thomas. The club sponsors the annual St. Thomas ROLEX Regatta.

Members have free access to their fleet of small sailing craft, including Hobie Cats, Sunfish, El Toros, etc. The club’s restaurant is open every day for breakfast, lunch, and for dinner on Tuesday and Friday nights. The menu is limited, but the food is excellent. The bar is open all day every day. The club also hosts special events and parties for members.

There are tennis courts, and a small sandy beach, as well as a good dinghy dock. Bathrooms and showers are available free to members.

They also have a free shuttle service to get people back and forth from their yachts in the harbor. The shuttle is summoned from your boat by tooting three times on the ship’s horn. Appropriately, the shuttle is named “Three Blasts”. We can also meet and drop off guests at the club, as people arrive from the airport to visit KINGDOM.
