Nanny Cay Resort & Marina in the British Virgin Islands has reached the halfway point in building the breakwater for its south marina expansion. The project is part of a $30 million USD development aimed at increasing berthing capacity and improving facilities for larger vessels.

Work on the breakwater started after the project broke ground in October 2025, and has since reached 715ft (218 metres) of its planned 1,430-foot (435-metre) length. So far, 34,209 tonnes of rock have been placed to form the structure that will protect the new marina area.

The south marina expansion will add 112 berths, including eight berths measuring 125ft (38 metres) and two berths at 180ft (55 metres) for superyachts.

Phase 1 of the development, which is expected to take around 18 months, also includes an extension of the existing boatyard, along with the construction of a new 150-tonne haul-out facility. It will be built to accommodate vessels up to 120ft (37 metres) long and 44ft (13 metres) wide.

Phase 2 will focus on land-based work over an estimated 28-month period. It includes plans for a concierge facility with shower and bathroom amenities, alongside a marine hub developed in partnership with the Royal BVI Yacht Club and HLSCC Marine Centre. 

The stage also covers a regatta and event village, retail and food outlets, a beach area with a bar, parking facilities, service roads, boardwalks, landscaped areas and a sea-view restaurant.

Nanny Cay currently has 302 berths spread across its inner and outer basins, alongside waterfront housing units, retail space, restaurants and marine services. The boatyard operates with a 50-tonne Marine Travelift for monohulls, a 70-tonne wide-body Marine Travelift for catamarans and two hydraulic trailers.
