Hi there!
I’m looking for a day sail (half or full) on a catamaran with an open bar (preferably) that hits Soggy Dollar and Willy T. Any chance this exists? It’s just my husband and I so a full charter is probably a bit much! Unless anyone out there would like to do a split!
We’ll be on St. Thomas 6/30-7/6 and looking to do this either 7/3 or 7/5.
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Jess
Think you'd have better luck with doing this itinerary on a motor yacht charter than a day sail or a catamaran. That's a good distance to get to Jost, clear customs then get over to Norman Island and back.
Don't know any day sail yachts that do this.
Don't forget you must clear cutoms so bring passports.
I thought they reduced the requirement for visiting the BVI via boat to just a an ID, like a driver licence?
No, a passport is required.

You USED to be able to go back and forth with an ID but those days are long gone. Valid passport or passport card only, as Alana33 noted.
and don't do just the passport card either - I just did that for a 14 day sail (multiple stops) and you really need the FULL BOOK - I was able to get around, but it was not clean, I got lucky - getting back into the states ran immigration me thru secondary for an extra hour as well, I got back in but ...never again w/o the book.
The Daydreamer out of Sugar Bay is the only cat I know of that goes to the BVI. That makes a snorkel stop off STJ, hits Foxy's in Great Harbor for lunch and a show by Foxy if you're lucky, then a few hours in White Bay.
WT is on the other side of Tortola and more a happy hour and later fun spot, not really worth the time getting there. But there are powerboats that go to the Baths on VG and either hit the WT or Cooper Island.
Passport is definitely required.
