Mega-Yacht specialists acquire Rodney Bay, St Lucia

New year and new ownership for Rodney Bay, St Lucia, and who better than Island Global Yachting (IGY), the leading developer of luxury marina facilities who announced their latest nautical purchase in the first week of 2007.

Rodney Bay is one of the Caribbean’s premier yachting centres and home for 16 years to the annual trans-Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC) which leaves Las Palmas in the Canaries in November and arrives in St Lucia some punishing 2,700 nautical miles later. Currently equipped with 232 berths and a 4.5 acre boatyard plus shops, restaurants and hotels on dry land, Rodney Bay, thanks to IGY, will receive a 100 million USD plus facelift to catapult it into the sailing spotlight.
