VIP Charters in St. Thomas

I chartered two times in the old days when VIP used to be CSY. I found that starting from St. Thomas was much better than from Tortola. First it allows you to go to St John which has the best beaches in the islands and second Compass Point is a very nice marina and closer to the airport. For some reason, people chartering from Tortola stay only in the BVI and miss the beauty of anchoring on St. John.

Well we just got back from our VIP charter on the Hylas 49. Dennis is tops. He really took care of us there. John I saw s/v Better than Popcorn getting ready for Charter. She went out a day after us. We hung our anchor up on a cable at Marina Cay and within the hour VIP had a diver out there and we were on our way. I thought they did a great job.

TopKnott,

I am glad you had a good experience. One of the advantages of a company the size of VIP is that they can take care of you. They really know what they are doing and even more so they care. You''ll have to tell us about your trip when you dig out from all that work I am sure you were greeted with when you returned.
Dennis has some great spots doesn''t he?

zchill,

Send me an e-mail off line and I will try and answer any question you may have about VIP. I own a boat with them. They have a
web sight but it is under construction or you get the old one. Also by by-passing a broker you could probably save some bucks.
