Dry Storage
Why not dry sail your yacht here in the British Virgin Islands? It can be done at Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour!This all began a number of years ago at the Newport Boat Show. We had numerous owners and brokers come by the booth, expressing that they or their clients were not getting enough use of their yachts (maybe just 25 full days a season). This prompted the Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour Dry Sail Program. Since the marina and boatyard are under the same management, we are uniquely positioned to offer this highly-requested service.
Here’s the way it works: Your yacht is kept in storage "on the hard" when not in use. Upon your direction, it is then launched and ready for your return to the British Virgin Islands. Now you are ready to go cruising! When you arrive back in Virgin Gorda, your yacht is hauled-out and appropriately positioned in our dry storage facility. It is that simple! If you wish, you can also arrange for personalized services to have your yacht prepared to your specifications for your arrival and serviced if necessary when you depart.
Further enhancing this acclaimed program, Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour will provide a maximum of three Haul & Launches during the period from: Nov. 1 - June 1 of the following year. The cost of this service is $100 per time used. (This program does not include hauling the vessel for seasonal storage. That Haul & Launch would be billed at the rack rate.)
Significant advantages to this program include:
- It is more cost effective than keeping a yacht in a slip
- There is no chance of damage due to ground sea surge during the winter months or other yachts maneuvering in the marina
- You will always have a clean bottom when you return to your yacht – No need to haul and clean
- We at Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour are very pleased about the popularity of this program. It not only protects your yacht, it allows many journeying yachts slip accommodation when visit the area
