The Charter Experience
A week aboard NORMA JEAN in the Leeward Islands and Bahamas unfolds according to your preferences. Whether you pursue underwater exploration, leisurely island hopping, culinary discovery, or a blend of all three, the crew collaborates to craft itineraries showcasing the region's finest anchorages and destinations. St. Martin and St. Barths serve as natural departures for multi-island explorations, whilst Bahamian waters offer serene shallow cays and vibrant marine life. The combination of thoughtful crew service, refined dining, and contemporary onboard amenities creates a rhythm where relaxation and discovery complement one another naturally.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical seven-day charter from St. Martin might progress through the protected anchorages of Gustavia in St. Barths, the pristine beaches of Îles des Saintes, and the island-rich waters of Dominica and Martinique, with flexibility to pursue diving opportunities, beachside dining, or extended time at favoured anchorages. In the Bahamas, the crew can navigate shallow cays and settlement islands where larger vessels cannot reach, accessing secluded swimming and snorkelling sites whilst maintaining the comfort and service standards expected aboard.
