Norman Island

The Willy T!

Our next stop was Norman Island If you are on a sailing itinerary in the British Virgin Islands you have to spend at least one night in Norman Island. It’s a great place to get a mooring ball and there are always tons available.

Snorkeling is great at Norman Island. The Caves is known for its inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson’s book Treasure Island. It’s a very short dinghy ride to get to The Caves and definitely worth going to.

The sheltered bay of Norman Island is ideal for paddle boarding, swimming and just relaxing. There’s also a small beach with the restaurant Pirate’s Bite if you are looking for a nice dinner out. We usually opt to cook something on the boat then go out to the Willy T for some fun later.

Willy T at night.

The Willy T is always a fun time. You’ll most likely see some naked jumpers off the top deck. It’s known for it’s shotski, body shots and partying into to the wee hours. They also serve bar food for lunch & dinner.

Our plan was to spend one night at Norman Island and then go to the North Sound. The weather didn’t cooperate with our plans and we decided we would rather stay put than sail in high seas. Since our kids had limited time we changed our itinerary to go to Cane Garden Bay next.
