TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums British Virgin Islands How much to store 46 foot boat on hard?

Virgin gorda yacht Harbour or maybe nanny cay

Its on their web site.

VGYH

Summer Storage (1 June- 30 November)
Monohulls$14 per foot per month.
Catamarans $20 per foot per month.
3 month minimum, payable in advance at time of booking with an agreed launching date. Discount for early booking.

Nanny Cay is $16 a foot for monos, you must be pretty busy, the prices are on both their websites

Is it possible to live aboard and also work on the boat - paint maintain etc?

Probably but you won't be able to use your head <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

in short 8-10BU/year

If you don't have a place in line now for hurricane season....you should. I just walked through both hards last week. not a single boat had a ladder going up to it. I would say it is RARE to live aboard on hard, and may be specifically not allowed, these are some of the details:


First haul and launch must be paid
Minimum of five (5) months must be paid in advance or at first haul out
You are entitled to five (5) haul and launches at no charge during the storage period.
You pay for all dockage, electric and water seperately
Storage Rates: Monohulls: $16.00/ft/month
Catamarans: $26.00/ft/month
hurricane straps-800/yr

Robert what is 8-10BU? The free hauls are a special deal, we did not opt for it, there a few exclusions we did not like, check it out.

Busy, you will die in Nanny Cay's boatyard without A/C. Stay at the hotel they have special rates for people in their yard. I think we paid $100 a night for a dock view.

BU=boat unit=a method of incremental payment that EVERYTHING costs on a boat.
+1 on the hotel, it is always 10 degrees hotter in the yard/slips.

What would be the BU on Busyengineers 46' boat?

Hallucinations is a 46 Vision from Bavaria.
budget 8-10BU

I bet nanny cay is full

Sail445, a BU = $1000.

Take it down to Grenada. Half the price and decent facilities.

SXM is almost 50% cheaper, $10 a foot dry storage.

It is possible to stay on your boat while doing repairs depending on the length of stay you are considering and that is at the discretion of the General Manager.....Lucianne Contact ljackson@virgingordayachtharbor.com for more information.

And if it helps, you may have seen these survey responses related to costs and service providers in the BVI/USVI...
