Yacht Charters
In the Exuma chain of islands in the Bahamas lies Norman’s Cay, a small cay that is only a few hundred acres in size, yet it is a very popular stop for yacht charters in the Exumas.
Norman’s Cay has a past that goes beyond the typical history of the peaceful Bahamian islands that dot the gorgeous blue waters.
In 1978, Carlos Lehder, one of the Medellin Cartel’s most notorious members, chose the small island of Norman’s Cay as the center of his drug-running operation. The shady, yet exciting, history has caused quite a lot of publicity, in the form of books and film, but it didn’t take long for Norman’s Cay to return to a peaceful island filled with yacht charters and friendly faces.

Explore with a Boat Charter: Norman’s Cay
Plane Wreck Snorkeling
Snorkel the famous sunken drug plane.
Yacht charter guests are intrigued by the small island’s storied past, which includes an infamous plane crash in the 1980s. One of Carlos Lehder’s drug-running planes crashed in four feet of water while attempting to land. The small plane is now a fantastic spot for snorkeling and popular with yacht charters. It is home to spectacular marine life, including colorful fish and some turtles, and you can swim through the cabin into the cockpit.
Beautiful secluded beaches
You will find many secluded bays with beautiful sandy beaches.
Saddleback Cay beach is a secluded, unspoiled spot that can only be reached by boat. Located on the north edge of Norman’s Cay, it is the perfect spot to swim, sail and sun in a tranquil setting. A small dock just out into the calm azure waters, surrounded by white sand and coconut trees. While off the grid, the Norman’s Cay Beach Club is nearby.
Nearby is Ships Channel Cay, a lush, green island surrounded by some of the bluest water and softest white sand you’ll ever see. It’s another spot for those craving a peaceful, idyllic escape.
