Watch the tour and get a feel for your next getaway. Your yacht is waiting!
We’ve been based in Nanny Cay since the very beginning in 1998 – we’ve never left, which must say something! It’s a naturally sheltered, modern marina with berths for 180 yachts, a full-service boat yard and all the amenities you may need. Not only that, but it's a short reach across the channel from Norman Island, Peter Island, and Cooper Island, giving you various options on your first day of charter.
The main shower and restroom facilities are located just behind the hotel foyer. Additional restrooms can be found at Peg Legs near The Beach Bar and near the Horizon dock behind Omar’s. For laundry needs, a full-service and self-service laundromat is available Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, and Saturday from 8:30 am to 12 noon (closed Sundays). Same-day service is offered for laundry dropped off before 9:30 am.
Relax and unwind at the swimming pool and Nanny Cay beach. With a refreshing breeze and sweeping views across to Norman and Peter Islands, it’s the perfect spot to relax right into island time. The pool is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm for Nanny Cay hotel guests, marina visitors, and Horizon guests. The beach is just steps away, offering soft sand, clear water, and a casual, tropical vibe.
You’ll find several dining options right at Nanny Cay. Omar’s Dockside, located just below the Horizon office, is open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Captain Mulligan’s Sports Bar at the entrance to Nanny Cay is perfect for catching a game, enjoying a meal, and letting the kids enjoy the play area. Peg Legs and The Beach Bar offer beachfront dining with laid-back vibes and ocean views. For a quick bite, smoothie, or excellent coffee, stop by Island Roots just down the dock.
Just steps away from our dock are convenient shops and services to enhance your charter. Riteway, located right at the base of our office steps, is well-stocked with fresh produce, beverages, and essential grocery items. Relish, just beside Omar’s, offers a curated selection of gourmet specialty foods from the UK, USA, and South Africa. You’ll also find Arawak, featuring stylish resort wear and gifts, as well as a chandlery full of sailing essentials, a dive shop, and spa and hairdresser services for unwinding before or after your time at sea.
The Nanny Cay hotel has a charming forty-room hotel nestled in a tropical oasis garden setting in the heart of Tortola’s favourite Nanny Cay Marina. All hotel rooms have air conditioning, direct-dial telephone, cable television, daily maid service and private balconies overlooking the picturesque marina or tropical gardens. Kitchenettes and roll-away beds are available for a small supplement and infant cots available at no charge. Children stay free if under 12.
We’re based at the world renowned full service resort and marina- Nanny Cay. Our office is located a stones throw away from F-Dock, where all our boats start and end from. Familiarise yourself with our base guide here that details all the information required for a smooth arrival and streamlining your charter experience.
The Horizon Yacht Charters BVI Office is open between 08:30-17:30, 7 days a week. We are closed on Christmas Day.
Nanny Cay Marina has the following facilities:
Yes, there are two stores in Nanny Cay you can provision from, Riteway and Relish. These are well stocked, but we would recommend ordering the bulk of your requirements of your arriving through one of our provisioning partners.
Just indicate to them you are chartering with Horizon and the boat name, and they’ll unload the provisions on the boat in advance of your arrival and make sure the perishables are in the fridge/freezer.
There is site-wide wifi at the marina, but it doesn’t quite reach the dock, so be sure to add a WIFI box to your booking if you need to WFY (work from yacht).
We can store your luggage when you arrive if you’d like to go provisioning or out for some lunch. If you need to leave bags at the base for the duration of your charter, this costs $10 per bag. We would always recommend bringing a soft suitcase to allow for ease of storage.
Where possible, we offer a sleep-aboard service at $75/ guest ($200 Minimum). You would be able to have access to your vessel from 17:00pm the night before your charter start.
In any onboard emergency, use your VHF radio on Channel 16 to call for help and follow Mayday procedures. You can also reach VISAR (Virgin Islands Search & Rescue) on Channel 67 or by calling 767 from a BVI phone. For medical, fire, or police emergencies on land, dial 999 or 911. Horizon’s base team can also be contacted via the MOD number which will be saved on your boat phone- +1 (284) 542 8788
