The Bight Norman Island

Discover a hidden treasure in the place that inspired Robert Louis Stevenson for his famous book, Treasure Island.  Together with Pelican Island, Peter Island, Salt Island, Dead Chest Island and Ginger Island, Norman Island is one of the “Little Sisters”; a group of islands that are smaller, lower and slightly dryer than other islands to the north and west. The Bight, situated on the west side of Norman Island, is a safe and sheltered anchorage.

Treasure Point at the mouth of the Bight is the location of the famous purple and orange-walled Caves, which offer a superb snorkeling experience. You can snorkel deep into the three water-level caves at the base of the cliffs and watch daylight turn to a magical darkness as you venture further in. Swim with an underwater torch and see masses of exotic fish and sea creatures teeming in the shallow waters. The Caves are are a real highlight when visiting The Bight at Norman Island on your yacht charter.

Despite being largely uninhabited, The Bight is home to the legendary William Thornton (Willie T's) floating restaurant, housed in a replica 1915 topsail schooner, where you can expect to have a very entertaining night. Great food, music, dancing and party games should ensure a Caribbean evening to remember.
