For decades private yachts and bareboat charters from across the globe have set sail for the waters of Sir Francis Drake Channel, the world's most popular sailing mecca. Many drop anchor off Norman Island, otherwise known as 'Treasure Island' made famous by Robert Lewis Stevenson, and board a dingy for lunch at a floating restaurant and bar called 'Willie T's'. Others navigate past Tortola in search of sunset cocktails at the Soggy Dollar Bar, on the edge of a stunning white sand beach.
Golf lovers might choose to board a private boat for the short trip over to St. Thomas to enjoy a round at the Tom Fazio designed Mahogany Run Golf Course, world renowned for its signature "Devil's Triangle" - the 13th, 14th and 15th holes dramatically perched on the Atlantic Ocean.
Back on St. John, as another postcard Caribbean sunset ushers in the evening and it's time to head into Cruz Bay to shop its charming boutiques and artsy shops. A mouth-watering creation of pan fried shrimp and lobster dumplings at Paradiso puts the finishing touch to another perfect day in paradise.
