Hello everyone

Does anyone know for sure if there is water available at a dock in West End or JVD?


Thanks in advance

Carlos

Water is available on Jost. Not sure about WE.

Many thanks. Can you please confirm where in JVF there is water? Thr dock in the same bay where Foxy's is located but in the other side of the bay?
Many thanks in advance for the confirmation or correction.

Yes in Great Harbour near the ferry dock.

Are you trying to find water now? Great harbour is probably too busy to reasonably get to.

We were able to get water off the Voyage Yachts dock in West End during our November charter. Their docks were pretty busy that day with 4 boats going out, but we waited till a spot opened up. The West End took a serious hit from Irma and there is a lot of danger just walking around. Use extra care after dark or if you have kids. But the new office for Voyage Yachts was nice and the office staff friendly. Sad to see West End so torn up, but they’ll eventually come back. The Painkillers upstairs at Pussers tasted better than ever.

Yes! It is called North Latitude Marina:

There is water available in Cane Garden Bay at the gas dock.

Cane Garden Bay fuel and water : There is a place called Hodges gas in Cane Carden Bay, North side . But, from the available photos I do not see a gas dock, just a stone wall. Stone walls and boat hulls make for bad news.

We are planning our water stops, but others can get fuel as well. We have the below listed choices :

LEVERICK BAY, North Sound Virgin Gorda : Easy dock, water /fuel. helpful staff, with a mooring a free top off of water, free ice, swimming pool, shore showers, great up stairs restaurant, tiki bar, Friday night, great bbq, band, and mocko jumbies


MARINA CAY : Very neat small island, easy fuel dock, and water, new restaurant under the tent. Nice beach. Maybe happy hour up at the view bar, sometimes live music and dancing, One of our faves.
SCRUB ISLAND : Water at fuel at the marina , very nice new slips, get a res. ahead. Very nice pools, restaurant, hiking, stand up paddle boarding, beaches and kayaking. New to us, but looks fantastic. Great reviews.


JOST VAN DYKE : GREAT HARBOR " North latitude Marina " Fuel , water. Port side when entering. We would use North Latitude , over Sopers Hole West End , Tortola. Keep life easy. Be aware, southerly winds. All of jost is open to south seas.


NANNY CAY : Western side of tortola, 4.2 miles East of Sopers ( West End ) ; Very nice marina, no moorings, sips only, call ahead, and study the cruising guide for navigation directions. Peglegs, and Nanny Cay Hotel, beach, very nice.

The above will be our choices for getting water. At the end of our trip, we will have an overnight at the Nanny Cay marina before returning the boat to Conch in Road Harbor. We will top of with fuel and water before returning the vessel. Keep life easy for us and the conch crew.

The above seem to work out pretty well, and we can parlay topping off our water with good and fun times.

Also recommend a good cruising guide : We have been using the Cruising Guide to the Virgin Islands. by Nancy and Simon Scott. We find in perfect for us for 16 previous BVI Sailing Vacations, and have just received the 18th edition. Others have their favorites as well.

There is a large L shaped fuel dock at Hodges in CGB. I see boats stop there every day for fuel and water without issue.
