Great way to see Jost Van Dyke

This is a great way to get to Jost Van Dyke! Nice snorkeling stop in the morning. The catamaran was perfect, and the crew took good care of everyone on board. No need to bring towels as they supply them on the boat. Lots of sun so bring plenty of sunscreen and a cover-up. Good for couples or families!

Great day to Jost Van Dyke

We had a wonderful day on our Stormy Pirates boat trip to JVD. Kenny and Suzanne were so nice and solicitous of our every need. Boat was very clean, check in was a breeze, nice food nibbles for breakfast and cookies in the afternoon! Everything you could want to drink throughout the day. Just a lovely day on the water. Highly recommend.

A Wonderful Day on the Water

A wonderful day on the water!! Bring your sunscreen and a hat and get ready for an incredible time. I appreciated that we had ample time at the snorkel location which was wonderful. All the equipment is in good working order and the team on the boat was professional and fun. I went on this activity with my 14 year old and she had a good time even though she was the only kid on board. Soggy dollar was so great...but also go a few doors down...there's a little shop...and there are baby goats!

Best day in the islands

This trip made it our best day in the islands. Carly and Kevin (I’m guessing on spellings) were fantastic at making the trip fun and informative and they were exceptionally kind and compassionate about helping a non-swimmer get to the beach at White Bay and back alive haha. The sail is very nice (and full of beverages) with a just right amount of time at the stops. Truly a wonderful experience!

Fun day

We had a great day on the water. The crew working were friendly and helpful. Wish we got to see more fish or turtles when we stopped to snorkel. Soggy dollar was fun but we spent most of the time allotted on JVD waiting to eat at restaurant so maybe pack snacks. Because of the wait for food, there wasn’t much time to swim and relax. Customs was a breeze.
