    We are not members, yet they sold us fuel twice. July 17, 2023 and July 5, 2023. Policy must have changed, we filled up 500+ gallons diesel each time. In fact, Norman's Cay saved us when Highborne had a 200 gallon limit. Demetri is one of the few contacts at marinas in the Bahamas who responds quickly to reservation requests. He's super friendly & helpful. The Yacht Club at the top of the hill is incredible-best food & views-decor similar to Bali or Hawaii. On the expensive side, but worth it.

    Stayed here for a week, excellent marina! Lots of activity, fun bar right next to the dock & an air-conditioned option next to it, steak & lobster was perfect! They have a private beach for Valentines guests across the street from the marina, beautiful pink sand, with umbrellas and chairs included in your stay, towels free at the front desk. Nice pool across the street next to an upstairs coffee shop which has açaí bowls, smoothies, etc. Nearby is Bluwatur bakery with the best quiche I've ever tasted & pastries like the ones I've had in France. Rent a golf cart & explore this beautiful island!

    Love this protected, well kept marina! Friendly staff, excellent food, amazing infinity edge pool overlooking stunning sunsets. Fuel dock has easy access & the main building's decor is beautiful.

    Called ahead and asked for diesel fuel, they told us we could have 500 gallons and when we arrived they changed their mind and only let us have 200. Fortunately, Norma's Cay was able to help us. No problem if there are limits, we'd just like to know & be able to depend on what we are told.
