If you are a Caribbean sailing enthusiast you may desire to secure an island home that either is within a marina or close to a good anchorage. However the choice in the region is fairly limited and finding a property that suits the needs of both you the buyer and your boat can be a challenge.
A recent article in
‘All at Sea’ magazine, a publication for the Caribbean’s boating community, focuses on the increasing demand for luxurious properties with marina facilities. They quote Kerstin McConnell, the owner/broker of Sea Glass Properties on St. Thomas, who says “The opportunities for boaters to have a residence at a marina have, heretofore, been very rare, although the desire to have a land base near the boat slip is a near-universal one.”
Indeed at this moment the demand outstrips the supply and securing a property with boating facilities is quite a coup. Due to the high demand, buying a property with marina facilities can be a lucrative incoming generating investment through rentals for those who do not live permanently in their property.
The boating residential communities that do exist, offer a vibrant environment and greater security for the owner and their prized investment. One such development that is catering to the demand for luxury marina developments is based on Scrub Island in the British Virgin Islands.
Properties there are available through Caribbean Land and Property and are tailored to cater for all the needs of the small and exclusive community.
Caribbean Land and Property have a number of other properties available throughout the region with marina berths, as well as properties overlooking a good anchorage and a good knowledge of the boating world, to assist clients who are looking for this special piece of property. Happy Sailing!
