Where is Nanny Cay located?
We are talking about a paradisiacal archipelago made up of about 40 islands, some of them small dimensioned, with white sand beaches and quiet bays rich in sea life.
The British Virgin Islands are located precisely east of Puerto Rico and they should not be confused with another group of very close islands that instead compose the US Virgin Islands.
Nanny Cay Marina is situated right in the heart of the BVI and is located on the south side of Tortola, between the capital Road Town and the area called the West End.
Tortola is the largest and most populous of the archipelago’s island and offers plenty of interesting places to see like the Virgin Island Folk Museum, dedicated to local folk traditions, Fort Burt, a former colonial fort dated 18th century, and the Anglican Church of Saint Philip, an African church dating back to early 19th century, used mainly by African slaves.

How to reach Nanny Cay?
Our destination, as you can easily guess by their name, is part of the United Kingdom’s overseas territories but it is not possible to land here directly with a scheduled flight. You need to stop instead in a neighboring state such as Puerto Rico or Antigua and then take a charter flight.
It is curious to note that the local currency is not the British pound but the US dollar instead.
What could be a possible 7 days boat itinerary from Nanny Cay?
Here’s our recommended week boat itinerary in the British Virgin Islands, starting from Nanny Cay: Day 1: set sail from Nanny Cay to spend the whole day offshore swimming and diving in the Caribbean sea; Day 2: keep going to Pelican Island, most known for the so-called “Indians”, a rock series arranged in a row in front of the island where the sea teems with life; Day 3: route to Peter Island and its 5 beautiful white sand beaches where you can relax or swim with turtles and wild marine life; Day 4: reach the famous shipwreck site of “The Rhone”, a ship sunk in 1867 due to a hurricane. This place is considered one of the best diving spots in the world where marine life has populated the remains of this ancient ship. Day 5: let’s drop anchor in Manchineel Bay on Cooper Island. A relaxing day awaits us. The beach’s calm waters make Manchineel Bay suitable for water sports while nearby Cistern Point offers excellent snorkeling and turtle watching. Day 6: Keep heading east to Devil’s Bay (The Baths) National Park. Your BVI’s experience comes to life as we arrive at Virgin Gorda’s main point of interest, the famous “baths” located in Devil’s Bay National Park.
