Pizza PI
Located at Christmas Cove on the Island of Great St. James, Pizza PI is a top pick for a fresh pizza on the water. Hang out on the floats or on your boat, and enjoy the floating pizza boat. The owners of Pizza PI purchased a sailboat and turned it into the ultimate lunch destination. We always love to call in our order ahead of time, so when we arrive the pizza is ready to go. There is also amazing snorkeling in the cove, so feel free to snorkel while the pizza is cooking. Christmas Cove is home to tons of beautiful fish and coral. There are two spotted eagle rays that live in the area, so there’s a good chance of seeing one while at Christmas Cove. Pizza PI has regular pizza and also a gluten free option. We keep menus on board, so ask your Captain when you arrive to the marina, and you can check out the menu.

Lime Out Floating Taco Boat
If you’re looking to enjoy fresh tacos and float in the blue Caribbean sea, the Lime Out Taco boat is a must see. Nate’s Custom Charters is ready to show you this incredible spot on the south side of St. John, USVI. Lime Out uses only fresh ingredients and has an epic menu to explore. These are not your everyday tacos, they are so delicious, and they always have daily specials available. If you book a charter with Nate’s Custom Charters, we can create a customized day away from the crowds and we can stop at Lime out when everyone gets hungry.

Dinghy’s Water Island
If you’re looking to spend your lunch hour at a beautiful Caribbean beach bar, this is a great spot to stop and relax. Water Island has amazing water and white sandy beaches, and is a fun spot to unwind and take in the scenery. Dinghy’s makes a famous painkiller cocktail and also a tasty paddlewhacker. They have a diverse menu with fresh mahi
tacos, and the best bang bang shrimp on the island. This is a great stop if everyone wants to get off the boat and have some time on land. No matter what you choose, Nate’s and his team will help create a memorable day, and an epic lunch stop when everyone gets hungry.

Jost Van Dyke is one of the most iconic and fun islands in the British Virgin Islands. Although it’s small in size, it boasts incredible charm and a laid-back, beachy island vibe. The people of Jost Van Dyke are warm and welcoming, and its white sandy beaches are among the most beautiful in the world. Here are some of the top spots to explore:

White Bay

The star attraction! A stunning white-sand beach lined with famous beach bars and calm turquoise water perfect for swimming or floating with a drink in hand. Soggy Dollar Bar is a top pick for delicious Painkiller cocktails and amazing local dishes served right on the beach. To get there, you actually swim in from your boat—hence the name “Soggy Dollar.” Don’t worry, they accept soggy credit cards too!

Hendo’s Hideout is another favorite located on White Bay. With a friendly staff and beautiful beachfront amenities, it’s the perfect place to enjoy fresh fish, fish tacos, or chicken roti. White Bay is truly a must-visit spot to sip cocktails, relax, and soak in the sights and sounds of the Caribbean.

Great Harbor

The main port and village of Jost Van Dyke is home to the world-famous Foxy’s Bar. If you’re looking to experience local island flair, this is the place to go. Foxy’s offers a lively bar scene and a menu full of flavorful Caribbean dishes. If you visit during the last week of December, don’t miss Foxy’s legendary New Year’s celebration—one of the best parties in the world, featuring live music and festivities all week long. It’s truly a bucket-list experience!

Little Harbor

For those wanting to escape the crowds and unwind, Little Harbor is a peaceful retreat. It’s home to Sydney’s Peace & Love, where fresh lobster and fish are served daily. You can even pick your own lobster, and they’ll cook it up right there for you. Sydney’s also features an honor bar—pour your own drink and relax by the sea. Strawberry will greet you on the dock with a warm smile and unmatched hospitality. When we visit Sydney’s, we like to call in our order ahead of time so lunch is ready as soon as we arrive.

If you’re looking for the best beaches, delicious food, and some of the friendliest people in the Caribbean, Jost Van Dyke is a destination we highly recommend. Ask Nate for more details!

The Baths are a unique natural area on the southwestern end of Virgin Gorda, where giant granite boulders are scattered across the beach and shoreline, forming caves, grottos, and tidal pools that are incredibly fun to explore. These massive rocks rest on a stunning white sand beach with crystal clear water and breathtaking views.

Designated as a National Park in 1990, The Baths are geologically distinct from most Caribbean islands, which are volcanic. The granite boulders originated as hot magma that cooled beneath the earth’s surface and, over millions of years of erosion, were shaped into the dramatic formations you see today.

A descending trail leads visitors down to the beach, where a few small concessions offer cold drinks, snacks, and restrooms. There’s a small fee to enter the park upon arrival.

This is a fantastic spot for visitors of all ages. Be sure to wear a swimsuit and bring plenty of water. You’ll find two beautiful beaches to explore: Spring Bay and Devils Bay. If possible, try to visit on a non ship day to avoid the crowds.

A day at The Baths is full of adventure, natural beauty, and unforgettable views. Give Nate a call today to reserve your Virgin Gorda adventure.
