Jost Van Dyke Island was named after the Dutch pirate Captain Jost Van Dyke. In the 17th century he used this island as his lookout point in order to spot ships traveling on their way to Puerto Rico, Cuba and Santa Domingo. Once a ship was spotted Captain Jost Van Dyke would strike swiftly, board the passing ship and take hold of all the goods.  He along with his crew of pirates would then return back to their safe island hideout. It was this notorious pirate captain that gave the small island paradise its name.
