The folks at 'DiveBVI' have a satellite shop at Scrub and they do day trips that you might be interested. I would recommend you consider.

I would skip Jost, just because you are there only 5 days. VG would be a nice day whether renting from Mahogsny or working with a taxi driver to get dropped at Savannah and at the Top of the Baths and Spring Bay. Anegada would be a great beach day, but again with such a short itinerary we’d spend more time on Tortola and enjoy the beautiful beaches there. If you rent a Jeep you can spend one day visiting Smuggler’s, Long Bay, CGB, and Brewers if you really want to move around a lot. CGB would be a good choice for happy hour/dinner/evening entertainment. But if you decide to just chill a bit more and want a beach closer to Scrub Long Bay, Beef Island is also beautiful. I understand cruise lines are offering excursions to LB, Beef now (ugh) so be sure to refer to the cruise ship calendars when planning a day trip there, to CGB, or to the Baths. https://www.cruisemapper.com/ports/tortola-island-port-35?month=2018-11#schedulehttp://m.cruisett.com/p/British_Virgin_Islands/605-Road_Town_Tortola/November_2018/And a daysail with Aristocat, Kuralu, or Patouche would be an amazing day, they offer different itineraries for snorkeling the Indians or Norman Island caves, or spending time on Jost. But do enjoy the beauty and the people of Tortola.

Combining your snorkeling trip with Soggy Dollar Bar is a good choice. It will give you a flavor of Jost Van Dyke. I prefer Foxy's but both bars are good and you do not need to do both on the same day. It has been a while, but I believe you can dock near Foxy's and would have to swin in or dingy to Soggy Dollar Bar. I hope you save time for snorkeling at the Baths.

I’m with Christo. Anegada is amazing in its simplicity. We love staying on the island. The locals are amazing and the food is incredible. Our favorite for lobster is Anegada Reef Hotel and Potters. But everyone has their opinion on the best losbster. We fly in from STT or Beef Is depending on VIAirlink. The flight is awesome! The islands are very beautiful from 2,000 ft. You can reach Dean Wheatley at dwjeep@hotmail.com or his cell 284-544-3703. Have a great trip. Love your aggressive itinerary!
Go Irish!!

Do I need an entire day on Tortola? That sounds funny! Are you staying at Scrub for a reason, like Marriott points perhaps? If not, since you want to move around so much away from Tortola maybe you’d do better on a 5-day charter, or spend a couple nights on Anegada and a few on VG?

Yes then by all means get everything in that you can, Scrub is a good base. If you can afford it a private charter like Mitch or even with Joe from Patouche would be an amazing day. You could hit Jost, the B-Line Bar on Little Jost, and Sandy Spit, then Norman, maybe Peter or Cooper Island, then the Baths from the boat, and land in CGB for dinner at Myett’s. Then you could spend another day on Anegada. Another option may be a water taxi from CGB to Jost if that fits your schedule better.
I would spend one day on Tortola though as she is the most beautiful of all IMHO...
