Marinas

There are three major marinas on Virgin Gorda [1]. Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour (The Valley, 284/495-5500, www.vgmarina.biz [2]) is a 111-slip, full-service marina and boatyard just south of St. Thomas Bay, the ferry terminal in the Valley. Overnight rates vary, $1–2.50 per foot, per day, and go down if you stay for a week, a month, or longer. If you’re in transit, you can dock here free for 30 minutes and at $10–15 for each hour after that depending on size. There are moorings outside the marina; pay for them at the Yacht Harbour.
