Description

Take an immensely scenic high-speed boat ride to nearby Jost Van Dyke, the ultimate beach paradise for sunbathing and relaxing. Depending on where the boat anchors at White Bay, you will have to swim up to 50 feet to shore, as there is no pier. You will spend about three hours ashore, enjoying leisurely activities such as sunbathing, strolling the sugar-white beach and lounging in a hammock strung between two palm trees. The bay’s western edge is a paradise for snorkelers as it is usually teeming with blue tangs, rainbow parrotfish and other marine life. You might even spot sea turtles and bottlenose dolphins. Later, enjoy a cool drink at the Soggy Dollar Bar, where the famed Painkiller cocktail was invented in the 1970s. You can expect your experience on Jost Van Dyke to be completely stress-free and carefree, and the feeling will last long after you return to ship.
