      This floating bar off Norman Island is an absolute blast and unique experience. We visited around noon with a group of adults, young adults and teens, so fortunately for us, it was pretty quiet at the time. We heard this place can get pretty packed and rowdy, so it was nice to have the whole boat to ourselves.

      Jumping off the top deck is a must! The kids could have done this all afternoon. The pub grub and drinks were very good. They had menu options for everyone. Service was very friendly.

      Definitely an experience worth trying if you're in the BVI's!

      Worth a visit in Bight Bay. Seriously, if you are into people watching, mainly rowdy, drunk, happy, boaters drinking Painkillers, ... you can't afford to skip this place. Viewing people getting in and out of their dinghy's ion the dock was hilarious. Not to mention others diving off the back deck of the second floor bar ( in front of the sign that says 'No Diving'). Priceless. Oh yeah, the food was pretty damn good too!

      Floating magical bar. Get your drink on and then do the jump off the "no diving or jumping" deck.

      Willy Ts is a "dive bar"ge in the middle of Bight Bay off of Norman Island. It is set on an old steel ship that resembles a pirate ship. It has a deck on the side of the boat that can accommodate probably 8 boats/dinghys, however I went there on a busy day and powerboats will tie up side by side to create more "parking". There is a bar in the back and seating up top and main level. They serve a good amount of landlubber food that definitely isn't a cheap alternative to fish lovers. They do a catch of the day special that is freshly caught, and boy is it tasty! Also, unlike many other island establishments, you don't need any reservations.

      Overall I give it a 5 out of 5, of all the places to eat on the islands when yachting, this is the place! It's got a fun casual atmosphere and doesn't take itself too seriously. The food is of good quality and portion, and has that "locals hotspot" vibe.

      I visited here towards the end of a 6-day learn to sail trip, with our captain and 2 other student sailors. It is exactly how everyone else described it: an old steel ship you have to boat out to; we took our motorized tender dinghy to the Willie T. vessel. Our captain knew the crew and maybe she had some pull. The special of the day I was there was tuna steak: cooked to perfection! It was worthy of a much more expensive restaurant. Other people in my party had several drinks, which they said were generous. We stayed after dinner and danced for HOURS to excellent, loud dance music; I danced with people from all around the world! The other guests were diverse and the vibe was fun and friendly! Our party was a lot older than most of the others but no one cared; it was super fun. It was a high point of my BVI sailing trip!

      You know, when you are in the islands, you do what the islanders do. We were here last year, though the boat was located in another cove. It is back to its original spot now.

      It is a party boat and that is it, so do not bring children here, do not think it is some great restaurant, do not think it is anything but a big party boat with lots of drinking and people jumping, pure and simple.

      We knew what to expect after our trip last year and our very large group had a great time! We were disappointed that they do not serve food during the day any longer.

      It is a must see spot if you are an adult and like to have fun.

      Kind of a fun experience. Bar food will fill you. The guy at the food counter was very nice. The guy that delivers the food easy going polite. The bartender that takes the food and drink money knocks this review to a 3. He was arrogant and recklessly ignorant. The other guys build the business and the bartender destroys it. Too bad.

      This is the perfect spot to get your island buzz going during a day of island hopping. I'm talking about $6 painkillers, on a pirate ship off of Norman's Island. I loved the environment at Willy T's!!

      The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars: I was a little disappointed that some groups decided to bring young children here since this was clearly an adult atmosphere. But hey... things are different out there.

      You can expect to find seriously beautiful views of the islands and the clear blue water from the top deck. We even saw a barracuda swimming below!

      Willy T's should be part of your BVI experience. And don't skip the platform jump!

      Willy T's is a dive bar and party on the water. It's a bit of a must do if partying and more Pain Killers is part of your BVI itinerary. While island hopping, it was our last stop after Soggy Dollar and Foxy's. While the sign reads "No Jumping No Diving", I think most have some shots, some Pain Killers and take the quick plunge over the deck. Good times and just part of the BVI experience.

      Finally got the chance to visit Willy T's new location off Peter Island. Same great staff with similar menu, on a cleaner vessel. Still the place for cold drinks and drunken shenanigans. Sadly, it sounds like they may not allowed to stay in this bay long-term, so visit them while you can!
