Your ship is in Road Town. The best of the BVI is a short run away.

A ship day does not have to mean a coach and a queue. We collect you at Village Cay Marina from 7am, whenever your ship comes in, give you four hours on the water with one great destination, and have you back at least an hour before it sails.

Where we collect you

We pick you up at Village Cay Marina in Road Town, a short walk or taxi from the cruise ship pier. Open the pickup point in Google Maps

Every tour ends back at Village Cay, at least an hour before your ship sails.

The Baths, Virgin Gorda

Giant boulders and hidden pools. A 100-yard swim in, and the longest run, so it costs a little more.

How it works

  1. 1

    Send us your ship and date

    Message us with your ship, the date it docks in Road Town and how many of you are coming. We confirm the boat is free, usually the same day.

  2. 2

    We meet you at Village Cay

    Pickups run from 7am, timed to when your ship comes in. Your captain is at the dock with the cooler already iced.

  3. 3

    Back before you sail

    We watch your ship's schedule and have you back at Village Cay at least an hour before it leaves. If the ship is delayed, we adjust with it.

Why a private boat beats the ship excursion

A ship excursion puts you on a big boat full of strangers, on a route and a timetable that suit the operator. You see the stop, you queue for the ladder, you get called back.

This is the other way to do it: one fast boat, your group only, a licensed captain and a plan that bends around you. Stay in the water longer, skip the bit you are not interested in, and get back to the pier with time in hand.

The boat you step onto

NautiGal is a 31-foot Novurania Chase RIB with shade, seating for the whole group, a six-speaker Bluetooth stereo, an iced cooler and snorkel gear for everyone.

Good to know

Which pier do you collect from?
Village Cay Marina in Road Town, a short walk or a very short taxi from where the ships dock. We send you the exact meeting spot with your confirmation.
What time do we leave?
Pickups run from 7am and we time yours to when your ship comes in, so you are on the water almost as soon as you are off the ship.
How long are we out?
Four hours to one destination, or five if you extend. Five hours buys a longer swim and a slower stop ashore.
What if our ship is delayed?
We follow your ship's schedule and move the pickup with it. If a change of schedule means you cannot come at all, you are refunded in full.
How many of us can come?
Up to 12 guests. You book the whole boat, so the price is per boat and nobody else is aboard.

Docking in Tortola? Let us know the date.

Send us your ship and the date and we will come back with the boat, the destination and the price.
