About this experience

This one of a kind excursion to Jost Van Dyke allows passengers to spend the most time on the island out of all other group charters.

After checking in at the Ritz-Carlton on St. Thomas, guests board our 55′ catamaran for a truly extraordinary day. A light continental style breakfast is served as we cruise on the North Shore of St. John to enjoy a morning snorkel off one of the many coral reefs surrounding the island. After the snorkel stop, the boat continues on to Great Harbor to clear into customs.

After customs we make our way to White Bay, just a few minutes away and home to the Soggy Dollar Bar and one of the finest beaches on the planet!

Guests 18+ can try a world-famous “Painkiller” cocktail, all can play the Ring Toss game, relax in a hammock, or swim and snorkel in the turquoise waters. Then, guests 18+ enjoy happy hour aboard as we head back to St. Thomas with a full open bar, returning after clearing US Customs in Cruz Bay.
