I’m worried about missing my ship
- In our 25 years in business, our guests have never missed their ship.
- Please don’t let your ship scare you about not guaranteeing they won’t leave without you if you don’t book through the ship (aka Making you pay their markup but then only giving the tour operator less than half.)
- We regularly take out cruise ship passengers and take excellent care of you.
- When you book with us, you’ll be asked your ship’s port arrival and departure time. We will then present our options that are customized to coordinate with your ship’s arrival and departure time.
- Be sure to book early as we often sell out.
Where do your tours depart from?
- For our Norman Island (sail), Cooper Island (sail) and all powerboat itineraries, we leave from Village Cay Marina in Road Town which is an easy 5-10 min walk from the cruise ship pier.
- For our Jost Van Dyke itinerary, To offer more time at our stops, a taxi is provided from the cruise ship pier in Road Town to our boat in West End. (*Cruise ship guests only)
Can I book with Aristocat through my cruise ship?-
- No, you CAN’T book with us through your cruise ship.
- Please book with us directly online, or email us and we’ll book it for you.
How much time do I need to allow?
We offer you plenty of time to reach us in the morning, and plenty of time to return to your ship afterwards.
Our sail starts… at least 1 hour after your ship arrives.
We return… approx. 1 – 1.5 hours before your ship departs.
In our 20+ years in business, our guests have never missed their ship.
For our Jost Van Dyke itinerary, a taxi is provided from the cruise ship pier in Road Town to our boat in West End, and back. (*Cruise ship guests only)
This allows plenty of time to rejoin your ship… Again, our guests have never missed their ship.
