Marine Expo Registration

One of the main objectives at our annual Charter Show is creating connections, whether connecting yacht crews and brokers or local businesses and crews. We take every opportunity to ensure the most is made of having all industry representatives in one place at one time.

The Marine Expo or Vendor's Night is the perfect venue for business representatives to showcase their goods or services to the industry. It is just one night but "Oh what a night!". Attendees can taste, feel, sample, and observe. Our marine industry is successful because the network of related businesses is one of the best in the world.

2025 Vendor's Night details include:

• When: November 11th from 6 pm – 9:00 pm (rain or moonshine)
• Location: In the vicinity of Peg Legs Tent @ Nanny Cay
• Set up: 12 pm onwards. If more time is needed, just let us know
• Please do not set up your tent without confirming your space with us.
• What to bring: “BYOT&T” Bring your own tent and table. We’ll draw the crowds but you'll need to bring your tent & table. If you are setting up your own tent we strongly encourage sandbags and/or breeze blocks to secure. There are a number of underground lines which we do not want to tap into.

• We have one large common tent area with a limited number of spaces. These spaces are reserved for sponsors, sister island attendees and then on a first come first serve basis. Single spaces only available.
• Lights and Power: Yes, bring an extension cord and some lights. Industrial appliances cannot be accommodated.
• Can you sell at the event? Absolutely.
• Cost: $150 per single space
• Dismantling: We are guests at Nanny Cay and, as such, we are required to restore the property to its normal business state. Tents must be dismantled the day after the event.
• Contact: Email our office info@bvicrewedyachts.com to secure your space or ask questions.

Space is limited so let us know early if you want to participate. Sponsors will be given priority.
