The experience

The day starts in Great Harbor, where you walk through the quaint village and step into Foxy's Bar: the kind of place where the owner himself might be playing guitar and telling stories. From there, a short stop at Corsairs lets you say hello to Vinny before you head back to the boat. Your captain takes you to Foxy's Taboo, where you can either hike up to the Bubbly Pool or sit and relax at the bar. The choice is yours depending on how your legs feel and how much time you want to spend in the water.

The afternoon anchors at White Bay, constantly ranked among the world's most beautiful beaches. The water is so clear you can see straight to the bottom, and the Soggy Dollar Bar sits right on the sand: order a Painkiller, grab a lobster taco from CocoLoco, or just float. The tour also includes a quick stop at Sandy Spit Island and passes the Willy-T on the way back to your departure point. Bottled water and alcoholic beverages are included throughout the day, and the captain is with you the whole time.

This is an international trip, so bring a valid passport. The $85 customs fee per person is paid when you arrive, not included in the tour price. The boat runs about 8 hours total. If you're staying on St. Thomas, pickup is at Red Hook. If you're on St. John, you leave from Cruz Bay.
