Chartering Constellation
A Sailing yacht charter with Skipper BJ Harris is an excellent choice! BJ is a 500 ton Master Captain that has resided on the island for over 30 years. BJ knows these waters like the back of her hand. If you want to have a great, safe time on a beautiful yacht – this is the charter for you!
- Discover all your destination’s “hidden gems” with your skipper’s vast local knowledge
- Take the helm with your skipper’s guidance
- Enjoy peace of mind knowing that your skipper is a highly trained & licensed professional

My wife and I had such a great time on our sunset sail with Capt. BJ and her crew this week. BJ reached out the day prior to ensure we... read more had no special needs or desires, and then totally wowed us with tasty drinks and snacks. Coupled with the pleasant conversation and laid-back atmosphere, sailing on the Constellation is a great way to experience the best St. John has to offer without the crowds or hustle of some of the other options. I think this will become one of our 'must do' activities each year when we come back now. Thank you again for a wonderful evening!

The snorkel stop was virtually empty so we had a beautiful beach to ourselves. You will not be sorry choosing this charter for your vacation fun!

The Colorful History of Constellation
“B. J. Harris has been a licensed Master Mariner for decades. She has logged tens of thousands of miles on boats of all sizes, including an eighty foot classic John Alden ocean racer, an engineless fifty-two foot Sam Crocker classic cutter, and a powerful sixty foot Gulf Star. Her love of the sea is apparent at her St. John Properties’ real estate office–filled with photos and models of classic racing yachts, and at her rental home, Captain’s View–filled with photos of new and old classic yachts, ships lights, sextant and other nautical gear.
Being the proud ‘caretaker’ of a Swan, one of the finest yachts built and a boat described as both beautiful and powerful, has been one of B. J.’s fondest dreams for many years. The joy and dedication she brings to Constellation will be evident to all who see them together–truly a match made in heaven.
