Looking for simple taxi service from Tortola Cruise port to Jost

[Alatraveler1]

On a past NCL cruise we caught a catamaran directly from the cruise ship dock to Jost to spend the day on White Bay.  We are looking for the same in spring 2023.  We don't need snorkeling, a trip to the baths, bbq or anything but a basic "ferry service" there and back which will depart the cruise pier around 830-930 am and come back after 3 pm.  We would rather avoid the taxi to West End and then ferry, then after arrival on Jost taxi to White Bay but want the same as before a direct trip from point A to B.  Any ideas?  Ship excursions either have inclusions we don't want or include taxis on both ends and a limited 4 hours or so of actual "beach time" in White Bay.  A shared trip is of course ok since we just want basic transportation there and back.  Thanks for any info CC friends!

Sorry, just now seeing this!  No, other than a taxi from pier to ferry on both ends, and at times not conducive to a multi-hour visit.  We do have an excursion that will give us about 5 beach hours or so through cruise line, but no one gave me any options for an independent try.  Only half or full day charters which are $$$ prohibited for just us.

Yes the taxi/ferry/taxi and reverse is the “normal” option. The other option is a hall-day shared independent that gives you a couple hours in White Bay, along with a stop at Diamond Cay and another spot. A few are very good including Aristocat, Kuralu, and Patouche.

Patouche and others also offer a private charter and you choose the destination(s), the price would be $600 - $1,000 depending on the number of people and itinerary. Many find fellow shipmates on their roll call to share expenses…
