Situated on nearly five acres of lushly-landscaped grounds, bursting with bougainvillea and swaying palms, Crown Bay Marina is a full-service, state-of-the-art, 99-slip facility capable of berthing vessels from 25 to 200 feet LOA, with drafts up to 15 feet. In-slip amenities include metered water, electricity, phone, and cable TV hookups. The marina offers daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonal rates. Conveniently located just west of historic Charlotte Amalie Harbor and sheltered by neighboring Water Island, Crown Bay Marina offers boaters a safe haven that is easily approached via either the East or West Gregorie Channels. Located less than ten minutes from St. Thomas’ Cyril E. King Airport, Crown Bay Marina affords convenient access for arriving charter yacht guests eager to begin their adventures afloat, as well as departing visitors who want to prolong their vacation before boarding a flight home. Crown Bay’s impressive 315-foot fuel dock boasts a diesel-pumping capacity of 150 gallons-per-minute and quality Texaco fuel products at competitive prices, including volume discounts. Hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily. Committed to the preservation of the Caribbean’s sparkling waters, the marina is equipped with a convenient dockside holding tank pump-out station. Featured regularly in ShowBoats International Magazine and recognized at major international boat shows from Monaco to Ft. Lauderdale, the “Crown Jewel of the Caribbean” is a magnet for luxury yachts that make seasonal migrations to the Caribbean from famed ports-of-call on the U.S. mainland and the Mediterranean. Megayacht captains, especially, appreciate the marina’s proximity to the United Yacht Transport staging area. During the “high season” — from November through April — Crown Bay Marina typically accommodates up to 16 chartered or privately-owned megayachts, so advance reservations are highly recommended. Crown Bay Marina prides itself on providing a level of professionalism and hospitality that turns first-time visitors into loyal friends that eagerly anticipate their next visit. No service is too small to be performed with a smile — from assisting with lines upon arrival and pointing the way to a well-deserved hot shower, to providing daily weather updates for vessels casting off. When reserved in conjunction with a VIP Port Clearance Package, marina staff will prepare documentation to clear a vessel’s captain, crew and guests through U.S. Customs and Immigration. Clearance onboard a vessel can also be arranged, by special request and with advance notice. Each Spring and Fall, Crown Bay Marina is abuzz with activity as host of the All-Caribbean Charteryacht Boat Show which attracts top charter vacation brokers, travel agents, and boating media eager to preview the season’s offering of Caribbean-based professionally crewed charter boats — both sail and power. To simplify the airport-to-boat transfer of charter guests, Crown Bay Marina offers special Charter Pick-Up & Drop-Off dockage rates to over 142 St. Thomas-based crewed charter operators affiliated with the Virgin Islands Charteryacht League [VICL], Regency Charter Services, and Flagship. Crown Bay Marina offers an impressive array of marina-based businesses — including a restaurant, pub, gourmet provisioner, ship’s chandlery, engine repair service, laundry, face, skin and body pamering services, hair salon, telecommunications center, cellular phone service, massage therapist, the Virgin Islands Charteryacht League, dive shop and more — that cater to the needs of island residents and marina guests alike. A variety of other marine-related services are just minutes away, as are several beach front hotels and guest houses.
