Norman Island lies on the east side of Flanagan Passage with St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, just across from it to the west. Hilly, scenic, and popular for its superior snorkeling locations, Norman Island is a highly recommended stop on any BVI charter. The Bight is the main harbor and is famous for its floating restaurant. Cruising to The Bight on Norman Island is sure to please.

Moorings for a fee are plentiful. Anchoring in the northeast or southeast portion of The Bight outside the mooring fields is possible, but it’s easier to just pick up a mooring to avoid worries about swinging room or dragging anchor.
Dinghy dockage: Dinghy dockage is available alongside at the Willie T and at the Pirates Bight restaurant and bar.
The caves at Treasure Point are a premier snorkeling location. You can swim inside the flooded indentations in the island with an underwater flashlight and observe teeming sea life in the shallow water. Just above the surface, the interior walls of the caves shimmer in purple- and rust-colored orange. Nearby Pelican Island and The Indians is another major BVI snorkeling and scuba diving locale. Enjoy drinks on the Willie T or a meal at the Pirates Bight restaurant and bar. As is the case at Cooper and Peter islands, a motorboat makes early evening rounds in the mooring fields and at the anchorage, its cheerful crew offering a variety of provisions for sale, including freshly baked bread and pastries.
No facilities for yachts are available.
