Navigation
Road Reef Marina is located in the old and once mangrove lined Careening Cove. As you proceed on your BVI yacht charter journey, you can reach this marina by going down a narrow and buoyed channel. The channel is at best 2.5m long and it can get reduced to 2m. Be very careful while you are approaching this marina. You have to enter by holding to a line just a bit further away from the ends of the ferry jetties on the west shore. However, it is just a short walk away from Fort Burt and Prospect Reef.
The marina does not have any fuel dock available, lest there is a spill. Because it usually does not flush away which could bring about an adverse environmental impact.
General Information

What to do in Road Reef Marina?
The marina (VHF12) is looked after by Tortola Marine Management (TMM). There is not much manoeuvring room available which would allow you to get into a berth. You have to check before you enter whether there is one available or not since most of them are occupied by TMM charter yachts. But if you find your way in, you will have ice, water, electricity and Wi-fi available. There are café and restaurants, a sailmaker, and also the service staff of TMM who can help you with maintenance.
