The Company - Max Charters

Max Charters was originally founded by Maxine Lavitt in 1998. For over 20 years Captain Max provided outstanding service and wonderful experiences to all of her guests.

In 2019, the business was aquired by Captain Hunter and his partner, Captain David. Their shared passion for sailing extended the same hospitality and expertise the Maxine exhibited under her tenure.

When it was time for Captain Hunter to take on a new venture, Max Charters was transferred over to our current owner, Pete Graziano - a sailing enthusiast and experienced sailor. Having learned to sail in the Virgin Islands and then making passage up the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, including a Panama Canal crossing, he took the opportunity to purchase Max Charters in 2023 so as to share the extraordinary feeling of sailing through turquoise waters and stealing private moments on the white-sand beaches of St. Thomas and St. John.

The Mission of Max Charters is to bring to our guests that magic we all felt when first sailing in the most beautiful sailing waters on the planet. Our customers should expect a day they will remember for a lifetime. We’ve had marriage proposals, family outings, wedding parties, solo travelers, couples looking for a romantic day and others who share that very feeling with us. You can expect, and will receive, 5-star hospitality and a lifetime experience.

We know you have other options for chartering - which is why we encourage you to sail with us. We understand the moment. We understand the value of your hard-earned time and vacation resources. Let us reveal the magic of these islands to you.

Thank you in advance for your trust and faith in delivering to you the best sail charter experience in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Sincerely,

Your Dedicated Crew and Management
