Fanastic trip to JVD...book it! - 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!

Scenic and festive atmosphere on the water! - 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.

Highly recommend! - 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.

Great Time! - 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.

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.

The trip is overpriced! No lunch included at the stop! - The Captain was nice but the trip is over priced because it only includes one snorkeling stop at Lavango Bay resort and a short time Jost Van Dyke. You also have to go back thru customs to re enter Saint Thomas!!!! Need a passport!!!!
