Has anyone ever used Noshooz day sail? If so, please comment.
Thanks
Yes, I took a day trip to Jost Van Dyke on NoShooz about 3 weeks ago. We had a great time despite the rainy weather we had. Captain Larry and First Mate Chutney were awesome as well! We sailed over to White Bay and had lunch at the Soggy Dollar Bar and just hung out on the beach for the day. The water was a little rough in the morning as we were trying to find some sunshine, but it made for a fun sail! The weather brightened up a little bit during mid-day, but then the sail back to St. John the rain came again. It was still a great day being on the water......much better than being in the states working!
Usually when I go to the BVI's, I am on a larger catamaran (27 person), and one of the nice options of a smaller boat (No Shooz--6 people max) is that you can lie on the nets in the front of the boat while sailing. On the larger catamarans you are restricted from lying on the nets while you are sailing due to coast guard regulations.
The lunch was good (grilled food and a little buffet), but I prefer Foxy's for lunch. The crew asked what we would like to do and they recommended lunch at Soggy Dollar Bar so we didn't waste any beach time. I can't complain--it was good and nice to try something new, but I like the atmosphere at Foxy's. Also, don't forget to order a "Painkiller"--they are the best at Soggy Dollar!
Thanks for the response. We love to snorkel and it sounds like Noshooz will be perfect. Thanks again for the input.
