Nanny Cay Resort & Marina in the British Virgin Islands has reached the halfway mark on the construction of its outer breakwater, a core component of its $30 million south marina expansion.
The development includes a new 112-slip south marina designed to accommodate the latest generation of catamarans and superyachts.
To date, 34,209 tons of rock has been used in the construction to reach the first 715ft of the 1430ft (435m) long breakwater.
Nanny Cay Marina officially broke ground in November 2025.
The project, which commenced in February, aims to position Nanny Cay as one of the Caribbean’s premier resort and marina hubs.
Key features of the infrastructure expansion include:
- New south marina: A total of 112 new slips, including eight 125ft berths and two 180ft berths for megayacht use.
- Upgraded boatyard: Increased capacity alongside a new marine travelift capable of handling vessels with a maximum beam of 44ft.
- Landside amenities: Comprehensive new service and hospitality facilities.
The breakwater installation marks the initial stage of phase one, which also encompasses land reclamation, the expansion of the existing boatyard and the construction of a new 150-tonne haul-out facility on the outer peninsula.
Phase two of the plan will introduce staged construction of a dedicated concierge building with luxury amenities, a marine hub housing the Royal BVI Yacht Club and the H. Lavity Stoutt Community College Marine Centre, plus a designated regatta and event village. Further additions will include retail outlets, a beach bar, landscaped gardens and a flagship sea-view restaurant, supported by new service roads and parking infrastructure.
Phase one is anticipated to take 18 months, while phase two is slated for 28 months.
