Check availability See prices and booking

Two famous beach bars, one fast boat

Call it the Rum and Sea or the Soggy Dollar and Willy T, this is a lot of fun and a lot of miles. We move you island to island fast and comfortably: Sandy Spit or Foxy's in Great Harbour first, then White Bay on Jost Van Dyke, home of the Soggy Dollar and the original Painkiller. After lunch at Pirates Bight on Norman Island we snorkel the caves, where you usually see turtles, and finish at the Willy T. If the Willy T is not your thing, we swap it for more snorkelling or a hideaway beach.

Best for: Groups, birthdays, anyone who wants the beach bar circuit.

The route on the day can change with the weather and sea state. Your captain decides what is safe and fun.

Good to know

How long is this tour?

It runs about seven hours. Departure is a morning start, confirmed when you book, and we always allow for the weather and the sea. The route on the day can change with the weather and sea state. Your captain decides what is safe and fun.

What does it cost, and is that per person?

$1,600 for the whole boat, up to 12 guests, all inclusive. The captain, fuel, permits, snorkel gear and the cooler are all in the price. A deposit holds your date and the balance is paid on the day.

Who is this tour best for?

Groups, birthdays, anyone who wants the beach bar circuit. The whole boat is private to your group, so the day shapes itself around you.

Is lunch included?

No. We stop where the good food is, such as Pirates Bight on Norman Island, Saba Rock or the Bitter End in North Sound, or Foxy's on Jost Van Dyke, and you pay your own. Drinks on the boat are included.

Do we need to be strong swimmers?

Not to enjoy the day. Getting into The Baths means a swim of about 100 yards each way, so that one stop asks for confidence in the water. Float noodles and life jackets are on board, and nobody has to get in: plenty of guests stay aboard and enjoy the view.

Is gratuity included?

No. Gratuity is at your discretion, and 15 to 20% in cash is customary and much appreciated by the captain.

What if we have to cancel?

Cancel 14 or more days before your tour and you are refunded in full. Inside that, the deposit is kept. If something outside your control gets in the way, such as weather, a travel delay or a change to your ship's schedule, you are refunded in full.
