About this property

Your floating home to explore anchorages in St John and the nearby waters of St Thomas. Choose a different spot to explore each day, swim and snorkel off the back off the boat, try the local restaurants, listen to live music on the beach... it's all here. Rent a kayak or a paddle board and go exploring local bays and snorkeling spots. Then relax with a cold drink under a beach umbrella for the afternoon. The vessel is a 1996 Beneteau Farr 50, fast off the wind and not bad upwind either.
Sailing the USVI is trickier than it looks. There are strong currents, narrow channels, numerous outcroppings of rocks with names like Blunder Rocks and the like and fluky, gusty winds that bounce off the hills. It's up to you how much sailng you want to do, but for the most part we will motor sail between destinations unless otherwise requested. Enjoy!

Wonderful Option

My friend and I just returned from 4 nights aboard Amazing Grace II with Captain Alex. We are two friends around the age of 50 who had some prior experience boating in the BVIs with our families and visiting St John/staying on the island. Alex was a great host - clearly knowledgeable about the islands and safely sailing around the area. He was friendly and shared his experiences and knowledge with us - offering his own suggestions but also allowing us to choose our own adventures. Each morning he prepared coffee and offered a light breakfast. He also prepared a light lunch for us 2/3 days. This was a wonderful experience all around that I would HIGHLY recommend. Pack light and prepare for a wonderful adventure!

What a trip!

We had a fantastic time on the sailboat! Alex is attentive yet knows when you want to be left alone. You can tell he's been doing this for years because he has everything down to a science. He gave great recommendations for snorkeling and dinner. He cooks breakfast and lunch so enjoy your boat time! Highly recommend.

Relaxed and leave the work to someone else....

If you have ever wanted to get away on sailboat and sail paradise for a week or two, this is the way to go. I have sailed in the past and one thing I did not like was all the work of the actual sailing and managing the boat and then figuring out what to eat and get to shore and all that other stuff. What was amazing about this adventure was the only thing we needed to do was show-up. Alex is an amazing host and a shocking good cook. We had some dietary requirements (vegan and a dairy allergy) and don't like to be PITA, but Alex was able to make wonderful meals that truly were "I would order that again" types of meals, and also he has mad skills in the coffee department. Coffee was on every morning around 7:45. French Press and eye opening - the way it's supposed to be! Anyone looking to experience the Carribean from the water should spend a week or two aboard Amazing Grace 2 with Alex. You will be well fed, relaxed, and come back with once in a life time memories.

Amazing vacation on Amazing Grace II

Our 4 nite stay was a trip of a lifetime! We sailed from St Thomas around the entire island of St. John with Alex , our captain and host! my 17yr old daughter and I had such an amazing sailing experience. We moored/ anchored at many beautiful beaches in St. John and St Thomas. We had pizza and tacos/ margs on the floating house boats . Snorkeled right off the boat each day ! Alex was a great host and showed my daughter some mooring skills! The breakfasts and coffee on his beautiful boat each morning was just delicious with the most amazing views . It was truly a vacation experience that was the most memorable one. You have to do this! We have a new friend in St John ! Alex , anytime you sail past Fenwick Island De come visit for a French pressed coffee! (Ty - it’s a staple now!)

Fabulous Time Aboard Amazing Grace II

We just returned from St. Thomas and St. John in the US virgin islands. Our stay aboard the amazing grace II was outstanding. Alex was a very responsive host. He readily answered all of my questions and concerns. He was also a very gracious host while we were on board. If you have never tried sailing this way, now is the time! You won’t be disappointed.
