If you are extending our wedding festivities into a longer Caribbean vacation, we strongly recommend renting a boat and exploring the surrounding areas. Below are a few of our favorite day trips, although you should definitely connect with your boat captain ahead of the trip as they will help create a custom route that works best for your group.

Boat Rental Recommendations:

1. Cruz Bay Watersports (for larger groups)

Day Trip Recommendations:

1. Lime Out is a floating restaurant in Coral Bay Harbor that serves tacos and specialty drinks. This is one of the closer destinations to downtown Cruz Bay. We recommend asking your boat captain to curate a snorkeling / island hopping day and stop at Lime Out for lunch. A cheaper alternative is to take the Salt + Lime Express shuttle to Lime Out for $30. No passports required.

2. Jost Van Dyke is a tiny island in the BVIs. It takes ~30 minutes to get there via boat. Our favorite spots on Jost include One Love, Foxy's, Gertrude's, and Soggy Dollar. Passports required.

3. Willy-T is a legendary floating boat in the BVIs. It is relatively easy to visit if you are already going to Jost Van Dyke - just talk to your captain! Passports required.

4. The Baths is a naturally-formed maze of boulders and definitely worth the trip if time allows. Ask your captain to drop you off at the front of the maze so you can explore the rock caves and pop out at Devil's Bay Beach. Note that the Baths is ~2 hours from St. John via boat. Perhaps worth visiting Bitter End Yacht Club on Virgin Gorda for the night (or even just a meal). Passports required.

We live in a small NYC apartment and have no room for more stuff! To the extent you would like to gift us something more than your presence at our wedding, we prefer cash for our South Africa Honeymoon and our pup named Tikka :)
