How far a ride is it and can it be reached by dingy.

Nahhhh, way too far with dinghy. You can go on the ferry though. You can't go into the BVI's with a dinghy anyway.

"Nahhhh, way too far with dinghy".

And, by inference, even more improbable in a kayak.

All the best,

A day trip is definitely more pricey, but so much more fun! Fly Away Charters leaves from Coral Bay. I personally had a great time with them! Palm Tree Charters is another reputable power-boat charter. I think they leave out of Cruz Bay, but I'm not sure. Either way, ferry, charter boat, swim, kayak, or dinghy, you're in the Virgin Islands! Have a Painkiller & enjoy

It's definitly doable by dingy. People from Coral Bay do it all the time. Not sure if you are refering to a rental dingy, that may be different... must check in of course.

30 mins, plus or minus depending.

Even from Coral Bay,don't you have to check into customs for the BV's? How does that work?
