CAMERON FRASER
DIRECTOR NONSUCH BAY
Cameron Fraser, Director of Nonsuch Bay moved to Antigua with his family at the tender age of three from his native Scotland. His architect father, William, restored, developed and managed historic Redcliffe Quay in St. John’s, which he and his brother Ian eventually took over and continued developing. After having developed the five-star Cocobay on the west coast, he has now developed Nonsuch Bay on the windward side of Antigua – a mecca for yachties and those seeking luxury and seclusion. He is also deeply involved in the buzzing island yachting scene.

THE CITIZEN
What advantages does Nonsuch Bay’s location on the east coast of Antigua offer residents and visitors? Nonsuch Bay is a 2.5 square mile bay protected from the Atlantic by a large barrier reef with a deep-water channel around Green Island, which allows vessels up to 70 metres to enter the beautiful bay to enjoy one of the most protected stretches of water in the Eastern Caribbean. Once in the bay, visitors can enjoy the services of the well-known kitesurfing school run by 40 Knots located at Nonsuch Bay Resort, which also offers hotel and villa accommodation along with two restaurants and a full sailing school. You are the vice-chairman of Antigua’s Classic Yacht Regatta and own your own classic yacht. How important is the yachting and sailing connection to the development? My brother and I have had a long relationship with the waters of Nonsuch Bay, beginning with us sailing in the bay during the school holidays and then anchoring there with friends over the years. My late father was also involved in the restoration of the nearby Brown’s Bay Estate house that became Harmony Hall. We had always thought that the bay would be an excellent location
