Signature Sailing & Snorkeling Excursion to JVD (Jost van Dyke British Virgin Island)

**PASSPORTS REQUIRED** Customs is currently $90\p which includes US & BVI p/P and boat fees (does not include holiday or weekend overtime)

Time: 8:00-3:00 pickup to finished clearing Customs. We are at JVD from approximately 10:30AM-1:30PM

Departure Location: Departure Location:  CRUZ BAY Pickup from beach in front of High Tide restaurant at Wharfside Landing. You will dinghy to boat so please wear flip flops or shoes ok to get wet). Future National Park Dock pickup may be an alternative (NPS proposes for-fee use of the former courtesy dock effective January 1, 2025 so this will be an additional fee-based option for groups preferring dock pickup versus dinghy).

Itinerary:

Get another stamp in your passport and enjoy your toes in the sand with a Soggy Dollar Bar Painkiller in hand on our signature JVD excursion.

Since it is YOUR boat for the day, this trip is customizable* (within the boat’s speed/sailing capabilities/weather considerations—see below). Our normal suggested itinerary listed above does NOT includes a snorkel stop in US waters en route to JVD, but as a custom option, you may add/upgrade with an extension to allow time for a snorkel stop —or- to allow for more time on JVD ashore at either Great Harbor/Foxy’s or White Bay/Soggy’s. You can even add time either in planning stages or on-the-fly to extend beach time or add stop. Alternatively, you may bypass snorkeling & White Bay and head further east instead allowing for time to stop at Sandy Spit and lunch at Foxy’s Taboo with hike to the Bubbly Pool!

Please email upon booking to discuss what the boat can do in the given charter time as many of these options are mutually exclusive in the charter time for a day sail excursion with a leisurely pace!

*SAILING TO VIRGIN GORDA & TOURING THE BATHS IS NOT POSSIBLE DURING A SAILING DAY CHARTER

Typical itinerary:

8:00 am departure. Sightseeing north shore STJ while getting a good wind angle to sail to JVD. (This itinerary normally sails right to JVD—you have your choice of adding a snorkel stop which will amend departure/return time —or— squeezing in a brief snorkel en route that will impact the timing of the rest of your day—we tell you what the boat can do given the day and will do our best to make it a full & memorable experience for all!

9:30-10AM arrival to Great Harbor JVD

Clear Customs and enjoy Foxy’s for a quick lap around the gift shop and a drink to go from the bar with the idea of savoring most of the time available for enjoyment at White Bay.
