Nanny Cay Block Party
Heavy persistent rain didn’t manage dampen spirits at the Nanny Cay Block Party last night.
BBQs stayed lit while Rite Way Food Markets and the Peg Legs crews rolled out food, drink flowed, and the Sailbag Winching Competition kept the crowd entertained. However, our musician Al Broderick did find the conditions a little too challenging…!

Best BVI Marina 2015
We recently hosted this year’s Virgin Islands Property & Yacht Readers Choice Awards on the beach. In between the award presentations, the audience was able to enjoy Cruzan Rum cocktails, nibbles provided by Capriccio Di Mare and Brandywine Restaurant, and an aerial silk dancing display.
We collected our fifth “Best BVI Marina” award and Kyle was runner up as “Best BVI Bartender”.

Doors Open For New Budget Marine BVI Store
Our new Budget Marine BVI chandlery and marine superstore opened yesterday in its new spot by the main car park.
The construction crew is making the final finishing touches, and the Budget Marine staff have had a very busy few days moving the displays and inventory from the old store and re-stocking the new one. However, the doors are open.
Danny Provides Hurricane Prep Practice
Danny was the wake up call for the “quiet” 2015 hurricane season. Soon after it rolled off the African coast, it was christened Danny and rapidly grew from a storm to a category 3 hurricane.
Forecasters never deviated from their predictions that Danny would eventually succumb to strong wind shear and weaken if not dissipate completely.
However, you can never be too careful when it comes to hurricane preparation – once it’s too late it really is too late.
Summer Dock Upgrades
We carried out our routine inspections of the docks earlier in June to ensure that all yachts visiting our marina will have a safe and solid base to dock on. We’re now in the process of replacing a few of the floating docks as part of our on going marina maintenance programme.
