Nanny Cay is located on the south coast of Tortola, in the British Virgin Islands. Located between the capital, Road Town and the West End, there has been a functioning marina on the site since the land was earmarked for development in 1961.
The name Nanny Cay was derived from the goat and sheep which grazed the original scrubland and drank from the fresh water spring on the site.
The original marina was dredged and constructed in 1977, under the supervision of foreman Raldo Charles, who grew up and owned land around the marina, and remained working at Nanny Cay until he passed away in 2010.
The current owners bought Nanny Cay out of receivership in the year 2000 and the marina has gone from strength to strength ever since. The marina has undergone substantial development over its 50+ year history, the most recent and significant of which is the Outer Marina built in 2016 – 2018. The ongoing success of Nanny Cay is now evident in the outgrowing of the existing two marinas on the site, and the requirement for a further third marina to accommodate the market demand for world class facilities in the BVI.
