A MARINA FOR VIEUX FORT A Proposal for a Yacht Marina, Yacht Repair & Refit Facility, Hotel, Restaurants & Retail Outlets for Vieux Fort Bay.
Marinas & Yachting on Saint Lucia
The Charter Industry Marigot Bay Christmas 2013 Of the yachts in that picture only 2 were not in Saint Lucia to collect Christmas Charters The Yacht Charter Industry, large yachts and small, now dominates yachting in the Caribbean. And the yachting destination in the Windwards Islands The Grenadines
The Yacht Refit & Repair Industry No shore based repair and refit facility for yachts > 100 tons between Puerto Rico and Trinidad A significant factor driving large yachts away from the Caribbean except during their peak charter periods is the absence of comprehensive technical support. A facility constructed further south than Saint Lucia would suffer from temperature and humidity issues. Saint Lucia has competitive labour rates.
The Caribbean Vieux Fort Bay
Why Vieux Fort? Sheltered Caribbean Waters Existing Port Infrastructure Proximity to Local Industry & Shopping Good Use of disused land Consistent with local plans Hewanorra International Airport Potential for Economic Development Short passage to Saint Vincent.
A Marina for Vieux Fort Yachting Tourism Yachtspersons have the highest per day spend of all groups Most of the spend is in the local economy with little leakage Yachtspersons are independent thinkers who want a genuine local experience. This generates a high proportion of SMEs and self-employment A detailed study on the Marina at Marigot Bay revealed that for every $ spent in the facility $4 is spent outside
Potential New Businesses Potential 1800 guests on property in High Season Taxis, Tours and Excursions Shopping, Eating and Partying Yacht Support Business Chandlery, Provisioning and Concierge Marine Engineering Yacht Building & Repairs Maintenance and Gardiennage.
