About this experience
The name says it all! This private trip is designed for those who want a later start and only want to visit the popular Jost Van Dyke.
On this trip, the theme is having fun at a leisurely pace. The itinerary and schedule for the "Just Jost" trip is simple and uncomplicated. After clearing customs, you will get to enjoy any number of the lively beach bars and restaurants that Jost is known for. If there is interest, we can stop at Sandy Spit (aka Corona Island) where you can explore a deserted tropical island surrounded by turquoise water. Possible stops include Foxy's, Foxy's Taboo, the Bubbly Pools, Corsairs, the Soggy Dollar Bar, Hendos, Ivan's Stress Free Bar, and the B-Line Beach Bar just to name a few. Just tell the captain where you want to go!
If you like sun-soaked, white sand beaches and lively beach bars, then this is the trip for you!
