We had the best time on this excursion to Jost Van Dyke. Captain Brent and his crew were OUTSTANDING! They worked seamlessly to provide all of the guests with a safe and fun experience. Continental breakfast was ample, drink options plentiful. They provided a fun sailing experience, complete with fun yacht-rock music, drinks flowing etc. They were attentive and helpful to guests as they embarked/disembarked the boat. Jost Van Dyke was beautiful, definitely worth the trip. The crew guided us through the customs/immigration procedure with ease. We've done a lot of similar sailing excursions and this one will stand out as one of the very best. Would highly recommend and will repeat on our next visit to USVI. Thanks Captain Brent and crew!

Bring credit card to buy lunch and souvenirs
Put phone in water proof case even if you don’t plan to take it under water!
Several people fell in getting knocked over by waves. Their phones took a swim!

Thank you for sharing the helpful tips, Lori! Bringing a card for lunch and a waterproof case for phones is definitely smart when spending the day on the water. We’re glad you joined us and hope to see you again!

What a great time, a small delay but never boarded from the beach that was just a cool exp! Crew instructions were easy to follow, service was great, and just overall friendly and helpful. Weather was great and we got time to snorkel before heading to BVI. Def the highlight was going to Soggy Dollar. They made the customs stop a breeze and was a festive still back.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed the unique beach boarding, snorkeling, and the stop at Soggy Dollar. It’s great to hear the crew made everything easy and fun — we’d love to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

We had such a great time. Captain Brett picked out a great spot for Snorkeling, Sea Turtles, Spotted Eagle ray, moray eel and a ton of fish.
Riley and Elijah made sure we had everything we needed and both of them make great drinks. They were very personable and fun to joke around with. All three were very knowledgeable. Customs process is extremely efficient and maximized our time on the beach.
Jost is beautiful. Truly an amazing place. On the way back we had some dolphins pay us a visit. Also claims of a whale sighting but I question that. Overall, it was one of the best times we had.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for sharing such a lovely experience and recommendation, Adam! We are thrilled that Captain Brett was able to show you the best of the BVIs out on the water. We hope to see you sailing with the Cruz Bay crew again soon!

The crew are excellent, friendly and eager to serve. There's a good amount of shade on the boat and the restroom is very clean. The water can get a bit choppy.

David_O, Nov 2025
What a fabulous day we had, the crew was amazing, the group we were with was rather small and the crew was able to give us all special attention. The breakfast and cocktails on board were very fresh and refreshing. We enjoyed breakfast in St Thomas, snorkeling on St John with sea turtles, (amazing experience for us), and then lunch and cocktails on Jost Van Dyke. The entire day was the adventure of our vacation. We would HIGHLY recommend this to everyone!
Response from Host, Nov 2025

Amazing adventure was only surpassed by the amazing crew. We had a smaller group and the crew paid extra attention to everyone. Made us feel safe and at home on the boat.

Our day aboard the Lady Lindsey to Jost Van Dyke was hands down our favorite excursion ever—and we’ve done a lot of water excursions over the years. From start to finish, everything was seamless, fun, and truly memorable. The crew was fantastic—attentive, knowledgeable, and full of good energy that made the entire trip even better.
Jost Van Dyke is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. Crystal-clear waters, powdery white sand, and a laid-back island vibe that just makes you want to stay forever. It was the perfect spot for relaxing, exploring, and just soaking it all in.
We had four teenagers with us, and they all agreed this was a highlight of the trip—no small feat when you’re trying to please a group that age! Whether it was snorkeling, beach time, or just hanging on the boat with great music and great views, there was something for everyone.
Truly a 10/10 experience. Don’t miss this if you’re in the UVIs.

This experience was well worth the cost. Great quiet off the beaten path snorkel area and the rest of the day on the beach was amazing. Jolene and her crew made it a great day!

The crew, the views, the experience was excellent! It was our last day Grand Finale!! I highly suggest this to whomever is thinking of doing an excursion.
Randy_R, Jun 2024
Pricey but certainly worth it. Morning snorkel and breakfast then cruising to Jost Van Dyke. Spend approximately 3 hours on the beach at Soggy Dollar Bar. Great experience food and drinks. Great day on the water with our captain Jolene and awesome deck mates. Thanks Jolene and Adios Jost!!
Greg_J, May 2024
The crew was the best! We hit a great snorkeling spot and still had plenty of time at Jost Van Dyke. I would highly recommend this trip.

Sooo fun! Crew and captain were great! You get to spend a lot of time in White Bay, which we loved. They provided drinks, snacks and the service was great!
Sarah_M, Mar 2024
This was a great excursion! The crew was amazing and the boat was super fun. They took us to a wonderful snorkeling spot and we saw lots of fish and corral. We loved our afternoon at Soggy Dollar Bar!
Linda_B, Dec 2023
Booked several vViator tours and none of them happened. The last one changed our location the day before. Cost us an inconvenience and an extra $40 in taxi fare.
Kevin_D, Dec 2023

Captain Anna was great
Easy and fun!
Osay was very attentive to our needs and Jason was awesome too.
Laura_F, May 2023
Excellent day of sailing, snorkeling, and indulging in Pain Killers at the Soggy Dollar. Such a gorgeous white beach and water so turquoise it's hard to believe. Loved our snorkle off of St. John too- saw turtles and a stingray- and had excellent care from the crew of the Daydreamer.
Wesley_F, Mar 2023
The crew was excellent and very attentive - hands down worth it! Kestrel, Walt and Jolene were awesome and the boat is amazing!
