Navigation
Wickham’s Cay II is located at the head of Road Harbor towards the north. Once you start approaching Wickham’s Cay on your Virgin Island yacht charter you should notice a cruise ship dock. This is going to catch your attention even more if there are cruise ships in port. You will have to leave the cruise ship dock to port and then pass through the entrance that is marked by the breakwater.
