Our first stop is Spanish Town, Virgin Gorda BVI, where we clear customs (all guests MUST have valid passports to enter the BVI). The next stop is The Baths, a unique geological formation on the southern tip of Virgin Gorda. Our crew will guide you on a short 50-yard swim to shore (conditions permitting) and a hike through the interesting grottos and granite boulders of The Baths, providing interesting history along the way. No need to worry if swimming is not your thing. Our experienced crew will be there to assist non-swimmers. Noodles and other flotation devices are always available. Next is snorkeling in sparkling clear waters near Norman Island. You will explore either The Caves, The Indians, or the Aquarium near Norman Island (the captain picks the destination) based on water conditions. Norman Island is famous for inspiring Robert Louis Stevenson’s book Treasure Island. It is home to incredible reef systems that are only accessible by boat. Our expert crew will be with you to make sure you are safe at all times and help you identify the “treasures” of the sea. Our final stop, White Bay on Jost Van Dyke, will have several lunch options on the beach. White Bay is the home of the Soggy Dollar Bar, a classic Caribbean beach bar famous for its “Pain Killer” cocktails. Stroll the beach and discover why White Bay is consistently voted one of the BEST beaches in the Caribbean – a perfect last stop in the BVI!
-Please note that this tour requires a total of 15 people to run the tour.
Bad Kitty and Bad Kitty 2 are 49′ wave-piercing power catamarans built to provide speed, comfort, and your choice of sun or shade. Their design provides the smoothest ride possible. Enjoy the comfortable ride on the top sun deck or open stern seating. Inside you will find plenty of seating and tables, room for storage, and an electric marine head (toilet). The boat is equipped with a fresh water hose for rinsing off and a stern stairway providing easy access in and out of the water.
Copies of all guest's passport photo page must be sent to info@calypsovi.com no later than 72 hours before the charter. All passport information needs to be legible, with no glare. We are now required by the US and BVI customs and border control to pre-clear all guests in and out, before the start of the charter. If passports are not sent out 72 hours or more before the charter a $25 fee will be added for each passport missing. Bookings made less than 72 hours before the charter, need to send passports immediately or charges will apply if not sent at the time of booking. This process helps to expedite custom wait times. If we fail to provide what is needed it can cause longer customs wait times, refusal of personal entry, and entire vessel refusal. It is very important to read all booking details along with the entirety of your booking confirmation. The person who books the charter is responsible for sending in ALL passports for the group in ONE file. Emails need to be labeled as such and will NOT be accepted if not sent as one file by one individual.
