4.St. John Jost Van Dyke & Soggy Dollar Snorkel Sail with Breakfast – Westin

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 176 reviews · from $299

Spend about eight hours sailing from the Westin St. John to Jost Van Dyke. You’ll have a light breakfast, snorkel near a coral reef, relax at White Bay, and visit Soggy Dollar Bar. Crews have included Captain Jolene, Dan, Brendan, Riley, Eric, and Captain Brent. Bring your passport.

“Jost Van Dyke was fine just a wee bit to much spring break atmosphere for me. The beach itself is nondescript with a number of boats docked within feet from the beach. So there wasn't much space in the water for people. Now as for the vessel and the crew and the great time we had on board it was truly amazing. The snorkeling was great and once again the crew was amazing. Would highly recommend!!”
