Norman Cay

Norman Cay is a small island in the Exumas, the Bahamas, about a hundred acres in size. Despite its small size, it is an island with a spirit and story. It has been home to pirates, drug lords such as Carlos Lehder, filmmakers, explorers, writers, fishermen, and marine biologists throughout history. As popular as Norman Cay has become over time, it is almost untouched by man today.

Norman Cay is an ideal location to start your Exuma Yacht Charter. The airport can handle small jets and other smaller aircraft. The cruising time from Nassau is reduced by at least three to four hours.

Norman Cay is south of Highborne Cay as you sail the Exuma Cays from the north. There are good places for scuba diving in the Cay between Highborne Cay and the island.

You can enjoy the beautiful marine world if your yacht has scuba diving gear or an Aquasafari Dive Instructor. Aquasafari takes care of every detail of your dive and even goes with you underwater.

Six miles long and one thousand feet wide, Norman Cay is one of the longest islands in the Exumas. The island has an airport where charter flights can operate, allowing charter guests to join their yacht or depart for Nassau instead of sailing back to New Providence.

Weather

Here the weather is the same as in the northern Exumas. The summers are hot, and steamy summers and winters are comfortable; however, sometimes, there is a cold front. The water temperature is excellent for swimming and snorkeling. The temperature varies from 70°F to 88°F and is rarely below 65°F or above 90°F.
