Great Stirrup Cay is a small island that is part of the Berry Islands in the Bahamas. Norwegian Cruise Line purchased the island from the Belcher Oil Company in 1977 and developed it into a private island for their cruise ship passengers. The northern part of the island has a sandy beach surrounded by rocks with snorkeling areas. The southern part features a helicopter airfield (with a sign reading "Great Stirrup Cay International Airport"), a large area without vegetation, and numerous concrete blocks. These are all remnants of a previous U.S. military installation and satellite tracking station. The island's lighthouse was originally constructed in 1863 by the Imperial Lighthouse Service.
Great Stirrup Cay is adjacent to Little Stirrup Cay, Royal Caribbean Cruises' private island.
Outstanding service
Linda and her team have booked numerous Four Seasons stays for me over the last several years, which entitles me to the Four Seasons preferred partner benefits. Linda is proactive, very knowledgeable and outstanding to work with! She has been incredibly responsive every time I've worked with her; my last booking was truly last minute, so her ultra-responsive, friendly approach was especially appreciated! I recommend her very highly.
