Excavation work has started on the new Port Nimara megayacht marina in Anguilla, Caribbean.
Swedish based marina construction and development company SF Group is carrying out the work that is intended to transform Anguilla’s economic and tourism landscape.
The Port Nimara development, located between the Cap Juluca and Altamer estates, will be Anguilla’s first megayacht marina.
The project includes 118 berths for vessels up to 260ft in length, a 62-five-star hotel to be managed by a luxury New York brand, and 18 beachfront villas, with potential expansion to 18 upland villas 45 residences.
The marina is being developed in a joint venture with TEI Inc., a New York based development group owned by Francis Greenburger, and Antillean Development LLC, an Anguillan based developer under the lead of George Fraser.
“Our goal is to create a world-class maritime destination that not only respects Anguilla’s natural beauty but also propels the island into a new era of economic opportunity,” explained David Mizrahi, managing partner of the development and CEO of SF Investments.

The project is predicted to generate 200 direct employment opportunities and create around 500 additional jobs across hospitality, maritime, retail, and support sectors.
Port Nimara will feature a premium yacht club, advanced customs and immigration services, a waterfront promenade, security systems, and maintenance services.
It will be constructed by construction management organisation Consigli in cooperation with SF Marina, with sustainable design principles integrated to ensure the project harmonises with Anguilla’s marine ecosystem.
The developers say advanced environmental protection measures will be incorporated.
Alongside the marina development, Anguilla’s airport will also undergo an expansion, including a runway extension to 7,800ft to allow for private jets, as well as commercial planes.
The developers say Port Nimara represents a visionary project that promises to transform Anguilla’s maritime landscape and create a new benchmark for luxury maritime destinations in the Caribbean.
The project is set to be completed in early 2027 with the beachfront villas and hotel following in 2028.
The SF Group has grown from SF Marina, designers, manufacturers, and installers of floating concrete pontoons and breakwaters.
