BVI Yacht Charter; Painkillers at the Soggy Dollar Bar
Jost Van Dyke – White Bay
Over on Jost Van Dyke, in White Bay, is the Sandcastle Hotel, home of the infamous Soggy Dollar Bar, so called as most visiting patrons must swim ashore to visit. As unless you are a hotel guest, there is no dock, and the hotel owners intend to keep it that way. Thus, at anytime, there may be patrons at the bar, somewhat soggy, paying with somewhat soggy dollar bills. However the Soggy Dollar Bar’s real claim to fame is as the birthplace of the Painkiller cocktail, appropriately named for the amount of rum buried within this concoction masquerading as a lovely tropical fruit drink.

BVI Yacht Charter Itinerary: Wreck of the Rhone
Visit the Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charters Website
The Wreck of the RMS Rhone located in the British Virgin Islands between Peter and Salt Island is one of the best shipwrecks available to snorkel or dive in the Caribbean. As the wreck is in relatively shallow waters, anyone snorkeling can see a significant part of the wreck without diving. Those that do dive will enjoy this wreck as the diving depths are shallow, and the wrecked hull remaining has large unencumbered openings, allowing a diver to swim right through the wrecked hull. A snorkel or dive of the RMS Rhone is a nice morning or afternoon crewed yacht charter activity while chartering in the British Virgin Islands.
