Start in St Thomas and drift to the empty white sand of St John, where two-thirds of the island is protected national park and the snorkeling begins right off the beach.
The anchoragesSailboat fun. Amenities you expect. Luxury you want.
Built in South Africa and lovingly maintained, Celestine is a sailing yacht with five ensuite queen cabins, air conditioning throughout, and a chef who lives aboard.
Five queen cabins
Five staterooms of similar size. Each has under-bed storage, a wardrobe, and its own ensuite head with an electric toilet, a shower, a sink, and a vanity.
Indoor-outdoor flow
An electronic window and door open the salon straight onto the forward cockpit.
Four social zones
Four places to gather: the forward cockpit for sun, the shaded aft deck for open-air dining, the salon with its panoramic windows, and the flybridge for sunset.
High-end comforts
Celestine has air conditioning throughout (11 units), a watermaker, an icemaker, a TV and audio system in the salon, two dishwashers, and seven refrigerators.
Onboard private chef
A private chef cooks restaurant-quality meals on board, from plated dinners to casual island fare.
Water toys
Two paddleboards, an e-foil, an underwater Seabob, and an inflatable Hangout come out at every anchorage, and the tender takes you exploring.
Where will Celestine take you?
Every itinerary is planned around you: the coves, the harbors, and the best food in the islands.
Celestine hops between Tortola, the granite Baths on Virgin Gorda, the Bight at Norman Island, and the white sand of White Bay, with beach bars along the way that only a boat can reach.
