Roseau, Dominica: The construction of Cabrits Marina is expected to take 12 to 18 months to complete and it is likely to commence in August 2024. The announcement was made by Finance Minister- Dr Irving McIntyre during the 2024/2025 budget address.
He said that upon completion, the project will offer a range of services to operators, super yachts and mariners. This will include fuel supplies, vessel security for crew and guests, transportation services, and food and beverage services.
The modern designs and amenities of the marina are expected to triple the number of yacht calls to Dominica, considering the central location in the Eastern Caribbean.
Finance Minister noted,”The Cabrits Marina will entice tourists to make them feel like home in Dominica due to our people’s warm and welcoming nature. Our low crime rate, other amenities will increase the stay-over arrivals and hundreds of permanent jobs for Dominicans.”
The marina will generate revenue and foreign exchange for the country with additional income for the Dominicans who are already engaged in the yachting industry directly or indirectly. The marina will serve as the catalyst for economic growth and will stimulate the local economy by creating new business opportunities and jobs for people.
