When to Visit
Dec-Apr
Trade-wind dry season with Saint John's Trunk Bay at peak, Saint Thomas Carnival in late April-early May, and the Christmas through Easter window at full resort demand.
May-Jul
Sea calmest, Crucian Christmas Festival ends New Year aside, and rates dropping after Easter with reliable trade winds across all three islands.
Aug-Oct
Hurricane season peaks September with elevated risk and many smaller properties closing, but Trunk Bay and Saint Croix's Buck Island stay accessible between systems.
Nov
Hurricane risk fading, dry season returning, and the high-season buildup beginning across both Saint Thomas and Saint John.
