Gallows Bay Marina Project

In concert with his efforts to complete the Christiansted Boardwalk and revive the economy of St. Croix, Lt. Governor Vargrave Richards has worked closely with the Gallows Bay Development Partners in a public/private partnership to turn Gallows Bay dock into a world-class mega yacht marina.

The major features of the Gallows Bay Marina Project will include:

• Accommodations for up to 40 yachts (approx. 40 to 250 feet)

• A Commercial center with retail and office space totaling 140,400 sq. ft.

• A seaside park

The Gallows Bay Marina Project will also provide exceptional value to mega yacht owners with St. Croix boasting lower fuel cost than anywhere else in the Caribbean; integrated refueling, recharging and restocking station at each slip; and dockside "black water" removal system.

Local area businesses will be able to take advantage of new service business opportunities; potential for business expansion; and a state-of-the-art office park.

Plans also call for the improvement of public infrastructure for area residents.

Lt. Governor Richards said the project will be similar to the $100 million Yacht Haven project on St. Thomas, but will offer these luxury yachts a new destination. He said the Gallows Bay Marina development, along with relatively low fuel prices on the island, will attract small cruise ships and luxury yachts to St. Croix.

"A development such as this will rejuvenate the entire downtown Christiansted area," Lt. Governor Richards said. "St. Croix is on the verge of an economic renaissance with investor confidence at an all-time high."
