Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour is a vibrant maritime destination and stop-over for sailors and land-based visitors alike. For residents it is the central hub of the community featuring upgraded facilities and a commitment to excellence.
The Marina
Featuring 93 spacious slips, a stocked chandlery, a well-protected fuel station and dock (offering diesel and gasoline) and a variety of amenities.
“Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour offers everything for a seamless yachting experience and should be on every yacht owner’s radar as the one-stop shop for top-notch boatyard services in the Northern Caribbean” says Alejandro Chometowski, General Manager.
The marina is capable of accommodating yachts of up to 130-ft in length. Larger super and mega yachts are welcome to anchor outside of the marina and tender inside to the dinghy dock to utilise the extensive array of facilities.
Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour is the BVI Ports Authority’s official destination for small to medium-sized cruise ships carrying up to 900 passengers. During the 2023/24 high season, the Yacht Harbour welcomed over 20,000 passengers, which is great news for the tenants and the wider community.
To complete the marina offering, our future plans include the addition of hotel accommodation, the expansion of the chandlery, a gourmet food market store and brand-new laundry facilities
Alejandro continues.
