There has been steady and strategic development at Nanny Cay over the last 5 decades as it has adapted to an increasing market demand for high quality marina facilities, playing a key role in the BVI becoming a world leading sailing destination.
In this time, the marina has grown from uninhabitable scrub land in the 1970s to one of the largest and most highly respected facilities in the Caribbean.
The initial stages of the development saw dredging works undertaken to deepen the original harbour on the site, to form 8 fixed docks.
Since the current custodians of the marina took ownership in the year 2000, the marina has gone through a steady transformation, including;
2000 – 2002
The installation of a new armour wall breakwater at the mouth to the South end of the Inner Marina. A new travel lift to the North West mouth of the marina, allowing greater access and mobility to the boatyard and dry-dock.

The creation of the new beach to the South of the Marina
