Alatraveler1 Posted October 30, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 30, 2022 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted December 27, 2022 #4 Share Posted December 27, 2022 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… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
