Why is there so much marine life around Jost Van Dyke?
At 11 miles away, JVD is the closest island to “the Corner” of the World Famous North Drop, aka The Puerto Rican Trench. The North Drop is well known to be one of the best sport fishing grounds for the prized Atlantic Blue Marlin as well as many other species, year after year! The fact that it is the second deepest ocean depth in the World, at 33,000 feet, means there are plenty of baitfish and thriving marine life of all kinds close by all year long!!!
