Marina Cay, an 8-acre private island just offshore from Beef Island, Tortola, has once again sprung to life in its newest iteration, to the delight of local residents, charter boat crews and island-hopping visitors. The new Marina Cay Bar & Grill is open Wednesday-Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., serving lunch and dinner in a picturesque, open-air setting overlooking Tortola and other nearby islands. Managed by Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina, Marina Cay is be accessible to local residents, visitors and resort guests via Scrub Island’s private ferry, as well as charter boats and island-hopping adventurers via 29 mooring balls, which may be reserved via the BoatyBall app.

BVI Traveller was created in September of 2017 to help tourism in the British Virgin Islands recover from the devastation wrought by Hurricane Irma.
To that end, we met our goals. In the past 7 years there have been over 1.2 million visits to the website and over 3 million pages have been viewed. There are over 1,000 pages on the site featuring news posts and detailed listings on all hotels, villas, restaurants and sailing charters located in the BVI. The BVI Government and many business, hotels, villas and sailing charters have all agreed that the site “moved the needle on tourism” after Irma.
The site, however, has run its course. It has served its purpose by bringing visitors and local businesses together to rebuild the tourist industry and it is now time to shut down operations for good.
I want to thank everyone for your help and support.
