We're sensing a continued uptick in the superyacht industry, and it seems our timing just might be spot on.

The interest in our marina berths continues to be high, and we're happy to have sold 8 of the 11 available in this first phase. Dragage Caraibe will soon arrive in St. Kitts to complete the remaining excavation work in the entry channel and yacht basin, and...
