Step-by-Step From the USVI
- Book your crossing. Use the ferry on Sunday, Tuesday or Friday, or a BVI charter any day.
- Clear BVI customs at Great Harbour (8:30 AM – 4:30 PM).
- Walk to Foxy's. It is right on the beach in town.
- Head back on the afternoon ferry (around 3:30 PM) or when your captain is ready.
Make It a Jost Van Dyke Loop
Most charters pair Foxy's with:
- White Bay and the Soggy Dollar's Painkillers
