About
Our fun day on Jost departs from the dock behind our retail store Ocean Surfari in Red Hook, on St Thomas at 9:00 AM. From there we will head to Great Harbour to clear customs and immigration. While in Great Harbour, you will be able to explore, do a little shopping and even grab a drink at Foxy’s. After your visit to Great Harbour, we’ll take a quick trip around the corner to White Bay where your beach day begins. White Bay has many restaurants for you to enjoy a lunch on the beach and is also home of the Soggy Dollar Bar where you can enjoy a refreshing Painkiller.
We will have an open bar with rum punch, painkillers, cold beers, sodas, and water as well as light snacks for your refreshment. Please note lunch and drinks on Jost Van Dyke are not included.
You should bring a towel, sunscreen (non-spray), bathing suit and cash.
