San Juan

Departure 18:00. San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, is an intriguing blend of the old and the new. Founded in 1521, the city was a key port in the Spanish colonial empire, as evidenced by El Morro, the huge fortress that guards the harbor. Behind thick stone walls, Old San Juan retains its original character of blue cobblestone streets, elegant plazas and brightly colored heritage architecture. This lively center is the city's and island's cultural hub for museums, music, dining and more. The nearby Santurce district has emerged as the city's hippest, with unique shops, cutting-edge restaurants and trendy nightlife. Just minutes from the heart of San Juan are the iconic beaches of the Condado and Isla Verde, whose stretches of palm-fringed sands are lapped by the azure waves of the Atlantic.

Jost Van Dyke

Arrival 08:00 / Departure 19:00. Of the four main British Virgin Islands, Jost Van Dyke is the smallest. Fewer than 300 residents call its three square miles home, but they extend a warm welcome to the sailors and yachtsmen who drop anchor in Great Harbour and White Bay throughout the year. Life here revolves around the surrounding seas – swimming, snorkeling, fishing and diving – and communing over a tropical cocktail and freshly caught meal at one of Jost Van Dyke's legendary beach bars and restaurants. The island's rugged terrain is crossed with trails. The most challenging leads to the top of Majohnny Hill, for panoramic views from 1,000 feet. Shore excursions: Catamaran Cruise & Snorkeling / Island Lunch, A Private Coastal Yacht Charter, Norman Island Snorkeling, Full Day Charter Southern BVI 37ft Boat, Half Day Charter Southern BVI 37ft Boat, Full Day Charter Jost Van Dyke BVI 43ft Boat, Northern BVI Full-Day Charter 43ft Boat.
