With significant subdivision capabilities, Thatch Cay is the ideal place to explore its nearly limitless potential for development.

Nestled off the north-eastern coast of St. Thomas; surrounded by the azure waters of the Caribbean Sea, Thatch Cay represents a unique opportunity for ownership in a true subtropical haven.

A Year Round Destination

Revel in the best weather the US Virgin Islands has to offer – all year long. A cooler period from December to March sees highs of 29°C (84°F), while the warmer period from May to October enjoys highs of around 31/32°C (88/90°F), softened by the cooling trade winds. The island’s consistently warm waters are ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and boating at any time of year.

Bountiful Seas

The island’s crystal clear waters and exquisite swimming beach invite you to experience deepsea fishing, sailing, snorkeling, or scuba diving; a renowned dive site off the northwestern point features archways, tunnels, winding coral formations, and tropical fish of every color.

Nature Untouched

Groves of native tyre palms, the island’s namesake, as well as dry herbaceous plants, cacti, and wild orchids and bromeliads dot the island from coast to magnificent coast. Wild goats roam freely, sea birds nest on rocky shores, and the first roseate terns of the annual migration are commonly observed on Thatch Cay. Lizards, geckos, whistling frogs, and Puerto Rican racers find their homes among the foliage.

Infrastructure Potential

DOCK

POWER

• There are several options for providing power to the island, including an underground power line from St. Thomas, diesel generators, and/or environmentally sensitive solar or wind power options.

COMMUNICATION

• A satellite system would support communication needs on the island, including cable television, internet access and a telephone system.

POTABLE WATER

• In addition to collection and t reatment of freshwater rainfall, a centralized reverse-osmosis desalination system would provide for on-island water production and treatment, with distribution via water truck or underground water lines.

WASTE

• Individual septic systems (such as environmentally sensitive “constructed wetland” systems using plants as filters) would provide for sewage treatment and individual irrigation needs.

ROADWAYS/TRANSPORTATION

• To minimize environmental and aesthetic impacts, roadways would be carefully designed and made of 8 to 10 feet wide paved concrete to support on-island transportation via all-terrain golf-cart type vehicles (battery or electric powered).
