Water Island
Water Island
A short ferry from Charlotte Amalie, Water Island carries none of the traffic of its larger neighbor while sitting almost within sight of it. Once home to a WWII-era fort, the island today is quiet, residential, and built around one exceptional beach.
Planning Your Charter
Entry Requirements
A U.S. territory. No passport is required for U.S. citizens arriving directly from the U.S. mainland (a valid government-issued photo ID is sufficient). Non-U.S. citizens should carry a passport.
Currency
US Dollar (USD)
Best Time to Sail
December through April brings the driest weather and steadiest trade winds; June through November is Atlantic hurricane season.
What Awaits
Honeymoon Beach
A calm, easy anchorage just off the island's most popular strip of sand, favored for a quick swim stop close to St. Thomas.
Fort Segarra
The remains of a WWII coastal defense fort, built to guard Charlotte Amalie Harbor and never fired in combat.
Flamingo Bay
A quieter, less-visited bay on the island's southern shore.
The Ferry Crossing
A short, scenic hop across the harbor from Charlotte Amalie, part of what makes the island feel like an easy detour rather than a full excursion.
