Built for Multi-Night Virgin Islands Charters
A premium Virgin Islands charter, sailed by the owners.
Stella Blue specializes in inclusive multi-night term charters in the US Virgin Islands aboard a 50ʹ Xquisite X5 sailing catamaran. It's a rare yacht, a small crew, and a deeply personal experience — one we designed for couples and small groups who want privacy, authenticity, and the kind of details only owner-operators notice.
Your charter is yours: a custom itinerary, your favorite anchorages, the food and drink you love, and as much sailing or stillness as you'd like.
Why Stella Blue
Owner-operated luxury, the way it should feel.
Owner-operated
Sailed by Capt. David and Capt. Heather — a dual-captain couple who call St. John home.
Private 50ʹ catamaran
A rare Xquisite X5 — one of only ~30 hulls built — designed for bluewater comfort.
Built for couples
Two ensuite guest cabins ideal for a couple, two couples, or an intimate small group.
Fully inclusive
Food, beverages, sailing, snorkeling, and quiet anchorages — all part of the experience.
USVI & BVI options
Custom itineraries through the Virgin Islands, from secret coves to legendary beach bars.
Stella the dog
Our calm, sweet first mate. Warm hospitality, premium standards — and the best naps onboard.
Featured · Inclusive Term Charters
Three nights or more, entirely yours.
Settle into Stella Blue for an inclusive multi-night sail through the Virgin Islands. Two ensuite queen cabins make her perfect for a couple, two couples, or a small private group.
Itineraries can weave through the USVI and BVI depending on availability, conditions, and your preferences — secluded coves, world-class snorkeling, sunset cocktails, and long, easy days on the water.
Signature Package
The Land & Sea Experience
Combine several nights aboard Stella Blue with several nights at our three-bedroom villa near Cruz Bay. Two perspectives of St. John — from the water, and from the hillside above it.
No passport. No customs. Just the best of the USVI, by yacht and by villa.

Highly recommend this boat and the crew of 3. Captains Heather and Dave are awesome and know all the best spots to hit whether it be for fun or relaxation. The 1st mate is Stella. She is a 4 legged bundle of worthless joy. The boat is beautiful and is always kept clean. You will not be disappointed.
The trip of a lifetime. With hospitality, relaxation and a bit of adventure thrown in too, this cruise has engraved itself as my benchmark for an amazing time on the beautiful waters surrounding the paradise of the Virgin Islands. Captains Heather and David can guide you to a variety of local treasures of scenic scapes and wonderful charm. A great intro to first time cruisers — the captains can ease any apprehension with their skillful operation of the ship. Firstmate, Stella, is an absolute sweetheart who loves belly rubs and treats. Don't miss out — this one will fill up fast!
Such a beautiful boat! I feel very fortunate to have found this awesome charter and crew. Awesome husband & wife team provided a great sail around St. John with an evening cruise by the BVI's. Their knowledge of the islands and welcoming spirit ensures that I will be seeing them again. Highly recommended for couples and/or families. Great people and fantastic amenities! They also directed us to a great home they also have on St. John and we were able to book there too — Love City STJ is a magical place!
Chartering with Stella Blue Charters for 7 nights was an amazing experience! David and Heather were skilled captains, excellent chefs, and knowledgeable guides. We had exciting adventures both on the water and on the islands. We especially enjoyed the snorkeling spots they chose for us. The crew provided entertaining options when itineraries needed to be changed. The cabins and common areas on the Stella Blue were very comfortable and well kept. Meals and drinks were delicious and beautifully presented. Deckhand Stella was a special bonus. We highly recommend this awesome boat and team for chartering in the Virgin Islands!
Absolutely amazing experience, highly recommend!
Fantastic day out on the boat! Heather and David were super chill, lovely experience all around!
Beautiful boat, great people! Great boys trip!
