10 Great Marinas Revisited is an article about ten marinas from the Turks and Caicos Islands to the US Virgin Islands. Most of the marinas and anchorage are in the Dominican Republic, and I would add the following outstanding marinas in the same area to the list.
Blue Haven Marina is an Island Global Yachting (IGY) destination. You can be assured of the highest service, security, and quality levels throughout your entire experience in Turks and Caicos. Many mega yachts use this marina when transiting from the north to the south, especially during winter.
Yacht Haven Grande – 2016 Superyacht Marina of the Year. Also, an IGY marina in beautiful Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. This is the home for many mega and superyachts during the winter yacht charter season in the Virgin Islands. The marina is next door to Havensight Mall, a decent walk along the waterfront into downtown Charlotte Amalie, and has a beautiful pool for marina guests. There is also shopping at the marina.
Yacht Haven Grande is the local sister marina to American Yacht Harbour, located in Red Hook on the Eastern End of St. Thomas. American Yacht Harbour is mentioned in the article.
