Check In Day: 🫵

All yachts will be moored at Nanny Cay Marina, head down to the marina between 3-4 pm and you should gain access to your yacht between 4-6 pm. Keep an eye out for your skippers notification! On the first night, you won’t depart the marina, so if you do need to arrive after 6pm please make sure you inform your skipper. 

Cabin Booking - Your host will have already stocked up the fridges, however you and your crew will need to head to the supermarket for drinks! 

Supplies in stores can be limited across the islands, so we advise you to stock up on all drinks you need for the week in the large supermarket in Road Town (hop in a taxi from the marina).
