The crew will work hard to ensure you have a GREAT vacation and appreciates gratuity at the end of the trip. Gratuity is left to the charter guests’ discretion and general guidelines are 18 to 20% of the charter fee.

LUNA is based out of St Thomas, US Virgin Islands. The airport code is STT. There are multiple direct flights every day from main cities in the US.

A passport is not needed in the US Virgin Islands. All guests traveling to other destinations, or the British Virgin Islands are required to have a valid passport.

Contact us and book directly with us by sending a message through this website. You can also send an email to info@sailluna.com or call or text 954-466-9828. We will get you started by reserving your dates and sending you a charter agreement to review and sign.

Let us know as we work with all of the yachts in the Caribbean, and we can help find something at your price point that will be perfect for your dream vacation!

The menus are designed around your food preferences and availability of products. Our focus is on serving fresh local ingredients, whenever possible. Juice, sodas, coffee, tea, beer, cocktails and mixed drinks are available all day for your enjoyment. ​ ​ Your spirits selection includes: Tito's Handmade vodka, Tanqueray gin, Jose Cuervo tequila, Jack Daniel’s whiskey, Caribbean rum, and a variety of liquors. Red and white wines are paired with dinner. Please remember to let us know your favorite brands and we will happily stock them for you. If you prefer premium wines, champagne or spirits not included in the list above, we will be happy to stock them for you at an additional cost to your charter.

Pack lightly — you need less than you think. We recommend collapsible, soft-sided luggage for ease of storing your bags in lockers aboard. Please check the “What to pack for your trip” section below, as it includes some items to consider bringing. How to pack for an all-inclusive sailing trip with Sail Luna

No, we provide towels for bathing and for outdoors.

LUNA sleeps up to 6 guests in three beautifully appointed queen cabins. Each cabin has its own private bathroom. If there are more people in your party, let us know, and we can find a yacht that can accommodate your group.

We promote a barefoot policy aboard LUNA. You will need to bring sandals or flip-flops for the beach. If you are planning to hike, please bring appropriate footwear. Some hikes can be done in flip-flops, but some require sturdy hiking sandals or sneakers. Heels or dress shoes are not necessary, even at the nicest restaurants. Remember, you will be getting in and out of a tender to get to shore, so practical shoes are a must. If you prefer to wear shoes aboard, we ask that they be clean with non-marking, soft soles. Keep one pair for wearing aboard and another pair of shoes for wearing ashore. Wearing socks only aboard is dangerous as you may slip and fall.

Snorkel gear (mask, snorkel, and fins) is provided for each guest. However, if you already own snorkel gear you may wish to bring it, as we cannot guarantee that our masks will fit each face perfectly. ​ For their enjoyment, young children should bring snorkel gear that fits them properly as we have limited small kids sizes on board.

The US Virgin Islands has banned sunscreens that are toxic to our beautiful coral reefs. The chemicals oxybenzone, octinoxate, octocrylene (the toxic 3 O’s) and avobenzone, common UV-blockers in sunscreens have been proven to negatively affect coral reefs. To protect the marine life, we recommend that you read labels and look for formulas whose active ingredients are zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. In addition, aerosol spray and tinted sunscreens are not allowed aboard the yacht.

Absolutely! A sailing vacation is perfect for families! This is certainly the best vacation for those who wish to spend quality time with their nearest and dearest.
