Ruyter Bay
✨ Hidden gem
Ruyter Bay sits in the heart of Charlotte Amalie, putting you within easy reach of one of the Caribbean's most historic and vibrant towns — duty-free shopping, rum bars, and Danish colonial architecture all just a short dinghy ride away. You'll anchor in moderate depths, so make sure you've got enough scope, and expect some swell and ferry traffic given the busy harbor setting. The tradeoff for the urban buzz is a lively, never-boring backdrop with the green hills of St. Thomas rising behind the waterfront.
