Jost Van Dyke
Jost Van Dyke
Jost Van Dyke is a tiny, mountainous island of roughly 300 residents that punches far above its size in Caribbean sailing lore. Beloved for its laid-back beach bars and clear anchorages, it remains one of the most popular single-day stops on any BVI itinerary.
Planning Your Charter
Entry Requirements
A British Overseas Territory — a valid passport is required for all visitors, including U.S. citizens. Charters crossing from the USVI must clear BVI Customs & Immigration on arrival.
Currency
US Dollar (USD) — the official currency of the BVI despite British sovereignty.
Best Time to Sail
December through April brings the driest weather and steadiest trade winds; June through November is Atlantic hurricane season.
What Awaits
White Bay
Home to the legendary Soggy Dollar Bar — said to be the birthplace of the painkiller cocktail — set against powder-white sand.
Great Harbour
The island's main anchorage and the site of Foxy's, a Caribbean institution for live music and beach-bar culture.
Sandy Cay
A tiny, uninhabited islet just offshore preserved by the BVI National Parks Trust, ideal for a short reef swim.
Bubbly Pool
A tidal pool on the island's north shore that surges with surf through a narrow rock channel.
