Land at Beef Island Airport (EIS), step onto a private boat, and be on Jost Van Dyke in about 28 min. No ferry timetable, no overnight on the wrong island — the transfer is timed on your flight.
The public ferry runs on its own timetable and rarely matches an arriving flight; a missed connection means a night on Tortola instead of Jost Van Dyke.
A private transfer leaves when you land, takes your luggage in one go, and covers the 22 km in about 28 min.
