Jost is a must do trip and Check out the baby goats! - We had a great trip to Jost on the Daydreamer with Capt. Brent, Matt, and Dan. The crew was fantastic—friendly, professional, and made the whole day an awesome experience. Seeing the baby goats on Jost was such a fun and unexpected bonus! Highly recommend this trip.

Absolutely a must do - 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!

Out of this world experience! - My goodness! Sun and fun all day long! We had such a delightful and memorable time! The three man crew were so polite and helpful in explaining what to expect! Safety was their top priority! They also had a nice breakfast on board. One of the crew, we called him Sazzy (spelling?) was so awesome! He was a world full of knowledge of the area and yes, the world! He made the best drinks 🍹and walked us through where the best snorkeling spots were at. He also kept us very entertained! The view while snorkeling was so beautiful and breathtaking! They all made you feel comfortable with the personaI property and helped with customs since we were going to the British Islands! The trip to Jost Van Dyke was great! The staffs at their shops were so helpful and worked with you on all your purchases! Good restaurants on the island too! I would definitely recommend you to do it and the price was well worth it! We also met some wonderful passengers! ❤️

Family fun trip - The snorkeling was excellent. Jost van Dyke was wonderful. Saw turtles and rays. White Bay was gorgeous. Soft sand and crystal clear water. Lunch at Hendos was delicious and of course the painkillers at Soggy Dollar went down nicely. The crew were very attentive and informative. Would do it again.

Amazing adventure was... - 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.

Jost Boat Day - 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.

An ideal day - My husband and I had an incredible time sailing the Caribbean Sea during one day of our week long vacation to St Thomas. The catamaran picks you up at the St Thomas Ritz Carlton, which is worth seeing and getting a margarita at after this day trip. From the minute the tour started the crew was fun, attentive but also chill. The day starts out with a light breakfast and juices on board before snorkeling in a fantastic spot (tons of AMAZING fish here that we did not see at our hotel beach). Then the open bar starts (the crew doubles as excellent bar tenders- I’d recommend at lear a few rum & cokes then one Rum Punch). Then Jost Van Dyke DOES not disappoint. It’s natural beauty and super laid back beach bars made for a fun barefoot afternoon. The sail back to St Thomas was even fun. 8 hours flew by. I’d recommend this trip to ANYONE going to the island for vacation.
