Approach to the Marina

Please call the Marina Dockmaster on VHF 16/68 just prior to your arrival so we can have staff ready to take your lines and assist with your arrival. The marina office is open from 8am to 6.30pm, 365 days a year.

Clearing In and Immigration

Visitors to the British Virgin Islands are welcome for up to one month, with a return or ongoing ticket, evidence of adequate means of support and pre-arranged accommodations. Visitors must not seek employment whilst in the territory.

Visitors entering the BVI should proceed directly to a port of entry. Because space at jetties is limited, vessels are allowed to anchor in the harbour before making customs entry. The captain can deal with clearance procedures on behalf of the crew and passengers.

Documents Needed
1. Ship’s papers.
2. Valid passports for all crew and passengers. US and Canadian citizens can enter with an authentic birth certificate plus two valid photo IDs if they don’t have a passport. Vessels travelling between the British Virgin Islands and US Virgin Islands must clear out of BVI waters at one of the customs offices listed, and clear into US waters either at Cruz Bay, St Johns or Charlotte Amalie, St Thomas. When entering US waters, remember that all non-US crew must have valid US visas. On returning to the BVI, you must clear in again. US visas must be obtained before arrival in the Caribbean. The US embassies in the Caribbean will only issue visas to Caribbean nationals.

Outer Marina & Inner Marina

The new outer marina has 100 slips but Hurricane Irma caused considerable damage to the inner marina. However, it will be fully operational again by April 2019 with the installation of brand new Walcon docks giving 220 slips in the inner marina.

Soon after Irma, Nanny Cay restored the fuel docks and have been serving fuel, water and ice since then. It also managed to salvage additional docks to rebuild ‘B’ dock, which will become ‘C’ dock when it is replaced with new Walcon docks.

At completion of the inner marina Nanny Cay will be able to accommodate up to eight megayachts: four 140-foot and two 120-foot megayachts in the inner marina; and two up to 100-feet in the outer marina.
