WHAT TO SEE & DO ON BIMINI ISLANDS, BAHAMAS

Today it still sits on the South side of Bimini Island, 3 miles from the shore. You can reach the Sapona shipwreck by your chartered boat and enjoy snorkeling reaching 20 feet deep. The beauty of the clear ocean makes it such a splendid landmark to enjoy a variety of sea fishes and sea creatures. Feel free to take amazing pictures while jumping off the shipwreck.

For scuba diving we recommend  Neal Watson Bimini Scuba Center . They are professional, patient and can accommodate divers of all levels.

Quick tips:

• not recommended for pregnant women
• have your waterproof camera or GoPro handy
• make sure you have plenty of snorkel equipment onboard
• you do not need experience to snorkel

BIG GAME FISHING

All year round in Bimini is perfect for  Big Game Fishing , however there are certain seasons for specific fish like Wahoo, mackerel, white and blue marlin, tuna, grouper, snapper, and barracuda. No wonder Bimini earns the title of “ sports fishing capital of the world ”.

The best way to enjoy this trip is on a properly equipped fishing boat with a professional crew to assist you and your guests, ensuring an authentic fishing experience in Bimini.

• game fishing chart to help for certain seasonal fish
• professional fishing crew is highly recommended

Or for the more adventurous, there is also  kayaking ,  paddle board ,  snorkeling ,  scuba   diving  and  jet skiing . Your chartered yacht is fully equipped for water activities, but if anything is missing our crew will make sure to get it to you in no time!

PLANNING YOUR TRIP TO BIMINI

Typical departure from Miami is early  in the morning around 9am, for timely arrival in Bimini to clear customs ( passports needed ). You should be ready to pick up your golf cart at the marina by 2pm. We will make sure marina dockage and golf cart are reserved so you can enjoy and relax from the moment you arrive. Drive around the Island and pass by  Joe’s Conch Shack  have their famous conch salad and you may even catch them cleaning and prepping it (see picture below).  Conch  is the most famous seafood dish in Bimini so you may also want to try Stuarts delicious conch salad.

You can go around the island and stop by the beaches for a swim, stop by a shack and enjoy a local Kalik beer while enjoying the view of pastel colored wooden homes and breathe in the fresh ocean air. Once you finished exploring it’s time to go back to the marina, relax on your boat and get ready for dinner. You may choose a fancy dinner at  Sabor restaurant  inside the Hilton Resorts World Bimini or a local laid back option like  Edith’s Pizza , which serves a lot more than pizza. Finish your night at the  Casino  at Hilton Resorts World Bimini. Or, if it’s a weekend, you may relax by the marina listening to live band music. Or, one of our weekend favorites is  Big John’s Bar & Grill,  which was just remodeled in April 2017

Let’s get the engine started and move the boat towards the area where  dolphins  like to hang around. If we’re lucky, you will be able to see some and even swim with them. We just ask that you keep in mind they are wild mammals and you should always take precautions.

We will mostly likely stop by the SSS Sapona Shipwreck by South Bimini, where you may enjoy amazing  snorkeling . If your chartered yacht is equipped with a  jet ski , this is the time to hop on one and take it around the shipwreck, jump in the water to snorkel and capture beautiful pictures to share back home.

On 2-night trips, we can take you to  a private island called Cat Cay , located only 10 miles away from Bimini. Here visitors are permitted to moor for no more than 24 hours. Enjoy some fine cuisine at Nauticat Restaurant or Bu’s Bar for a more relaxed atmosphere.

The island is managed by Cat Cay Yacht Club and non-members may only visit accompanied by members. For a private tour for membership inquiries or more information, please visit their website.

CHOOSING A BOAT

Now let’s choose the  perfect boat for you . It all depends how many guests are joining you and if you are planning to sleep on the boat or in a hotel.

We can help you choose from a medium size vessel like a  54’ Sea Ray Sundancer  with 2 rooms or a  64’ Azimut  with 3 staterooms. For fishing aficionados, we have a  50’ or a 60’ Hatteras  fishing boat so you can enjoy Big Game Fishing.

Do you have a bigger budget in mind? We recommend a  75’ Sunseeker Manhattan  which is ultra comfortable and luxurious equipped with all the amenities you may need. If you decide you rather stay overnight in a hotel than your chartered vessel, we can recommend one of our partner’s resorts.

Fishing charters are permitted for no more than 6 guests by law.

Bimini yacht charters offer the perfect luxury vacation.

Bimini, situated east of Miami, Florida in the Bahamas, is a true island paradise, perfect for yacht charters.

Things to Do & See on Your Bimini Charter

Scuba Diving

Snorkeling and diving yacht charters are popular in Bimini due to the vast array of marine life along the miles of coral reefs. Many shipwrecks in the area offer stunning underwater dive sites. The SS Sapona , for instance, was caught in a hurricane in 1926. It ran aground, leaving the top of the ship above water with the rest submerged. Some of the wood was stripped and used to build the Compleat Angler Hotel and Bar. Other interesting dive sites include “Bimini Road,” purportedly part of Atlantis, and the Gulf Stream drop-off, where the ocean floor drops an amazing 2,000 feet.

The Fountain of Youth

On North Bimini in a saltwater swamp surrounded by mangrove trees is “The Healing Hole,” a mineral-filled freshwater pool that is surrounded by winding underground tunnels. However, it is within the shallow pools of South Bimini that Juan Ponce de León found the fabled Fountain of Youth .

Shark Mounds

These sand dunes are formed in a variety of animal shapes, including the shark. Even though the animals can only been seen while flying over the islands, early maps depict the dune shapes. Controversy about the origin of the Shark Mounds exists still today.

Visit the Hemingway Museum on Your Bimini Yacht Charter

Ernest Hemingway moved to Bimini in 1935 to spend his days fishing and writing. He wrote To Have And Have Not here as well as his unfinished manuscript, In The Stream. The museum, located in the lounge of the Compleat Angler Hotel, features pictures and writings from his two-year stay here.

Explore Bimini Beaches

Of course, yacht charter guests love the beaches of Bimini. These unpolluted, soft, white sandy beaches are of the best in the Bahamas. The blue, clear water caresses the edge of the beach. The breeze is delightful and the sun is a smile in the sky. Remote beaches, such as Bimini Bay, Porgy Bay, and Paradise Point, are favorites of charterers.

Swim with Dolphins

Wild Atlantic Spotted Dolphins were found in the mid-1990s to have taken up residence in the warm salty waters of Bimini. It’s not uncommon for these enchanting creatures to come close during a swim or want to nestle nearby. No dive or snorkel equipment needed.

Big Game Fishing

Big game fishing is legendary in Bimini, home to one of the most historical fishing spots in the Bahamas chain known as Out Islands. Catch a 12-pound bonefish, blue marlin, or otherworldly giant gold and blue yellowfin tuna while on your Bahamian adventure. And don’t be surprised if you find a shark at the end of your fishing line.

Visit Alice Town

A cozy area of beachfront commerce and the center of the tourist trade on North Bimini Island, this tropical town features hotels, bars, and restaurants just a stone’s throw (or seashells) from the ocean. Leisurely stroll through the settlement dating back to 1848 and enjoy mid-day shopping or a refreshing pina colada at a family-owned bar.

There are many exciting activities for the whole family on your Bimini yacht charter. Call our charter specialists today to arrange the escape to paradise!

Bimini Road, which is among the most exciting diving spots in the Bahamas, can be found in the northern corner of the island. They say that this is where the remains of the sunken city Atlantis are. There are many yacht marinas, anchorages and long beaches here.

Blue Water Marina, Browns Marina and Resort Word Bimini are all great establishments providing full service. Weech’s Bimini Dock is a cheaper and less exclusive marina, but we can find all the basic amenities here as well. Bimini Big Club is very popular among the visitors of Bimini; it is a first-class entertainment facility and a yacht marina at the same time

The Bimini Big Game Club

Bimini Big Game Club was started by Neville Stuart in 1936. The businessman organised ambitious fishing contests that attracted anglers from all over the world. The club operated mainly as an exquisite restaurant at first. In 1954, they moved to their current location, Alice Town, and then the place became a major venue for big-game fishing. The club earned its current shape during the 1970s; that is when the amazing yacht marina was added. The mission of the club’s owners is to preserve their heritage for the future. It has become one of the major holiday resorts for anglers, and they have added several events to its portfolio. Regardless of why we arrived on Bimini, we will definitely find some of these events interesting. We can go fishing, scuba-diving or just enjoy the amazing atmosphere of this old historic place.

Blue Water Marina

Browns marina.

Browns Marina is the first yacht marina of the Port of Bimini, located along a 60-metre-long boardwalk. They accommodate bigger boats with a larger draft. They provide access to Wi-Fi, electricity, and they also have showers. The port has its own bar, and there is also a nice picnic place and a grill.

South Bimini

South Bimini is the second-largest island in the archipelago. There are many private estates here making this place less significant in terms of tourism than its northern counterpart. However, the most important international airport of the archipelago, South Bimini Airport, is located here. The yacht marina called Bimini Sands Marina has a Blue Flag certificate thanks to its excellent waters. Also, the services offered here will cater to all the needs of yacht owners. There are customs and immigration offices at the entrance where we can arrange our clearance. It is the ideal central destination. Nixon’s Harbour is located in the southern corner of the island with great anchorages and moorings. The famous wreck of the SS Sappona can also be found nearby; it is a popular diving and snorkeling spot.

Bimini Sands Marina

There are some smaller islands south of Bimini. The first is Gun Cay, app. 10 kilometres from the southern corner of South Bimini. One of the most popular anchorages is at the northern end; all Bahamian sailors stop at Honeymoon Harbour. The area is spectacular, and its beach is among the most beautiful ones. A unique symbol of the island is the lighthouse located in the south, standing here since 1836.

Cat Cays is the other island’s name, south of Bimini. In fact, it consists of two islands, North Cat Cay and South Cat Cay. North Cat Cay is privately-owned and is run by the Cat Cay Yacht Club. Since this is a private island, access is limited, and we are only allowed to dock temporarily in the marina. There is a restaurant, a shop and a bar, which will all make our stay here more pleasant. We must definitely visit this beautiful area around the port. South Cat Cay is not very developed yet. but we can still find great anchorages at Moxom Rocks. There is an amazing diving spot, Tuna Alley, near the shores. They have placed out mooring buoys to provide help with securing the boats to those who visit for a dive. Depth: 3.5 m, GPS Coordinates : 25.410965, -77.902506

Cat Cay Yacht Club

If you do not own a property, your only opportunity to spend a few nights here is at Cat Cay Marina. The port is among the best-protected and best-equipped establishments in the area. There are 180 berths here and they also provide a fuel dock. The beach is very calm and enchanting, and there are great diving and fishing spots in the near vicinity. Depth: 3 m, GPS Coordinates : 25.554400, -79.275003

The main attractions in Bimini

Bimini is a small pearl of the Bahamas. Amazing beaches, excellent bays and water activities. Despite its small size, we can find everything here, that we like so much in the Bahamas. There is another reason that makes the archipelago unique among the neighbouring islands: its rich history, the traces of which are still visible today. The shipwreck of the famous American ship SS Sapona is located near South Bimini. The Fountain of Youth can also be found in the south; Indian legend has it that its water has a rejuvenating effect.

Bimini Road lies near the shores of North Bimini; they say that it was part of the sunken city Atlantis. There are two lighthouses of over 200 years old towering in the sky here as well; the one on Gun Cay has been guiding Bahamian sailors since 1836. The other one, namely the Great Isaac Tower is located 30 kilometres from Bimini; it was built-in 1859. With its height of 45 metres, it is the highest lighthouse in the area.

The gastronomy of Bimini

If you would like to try the cuisine of Bimini, you must visit one of the local snack bars and restaurants. Besides filling our bellies, we can also get to know the locals, get an insight into authentic Bahamian fish frying and try different delicacies. One of the unique Bahamian specialties is the conch and the salad prepared with it. Some of the restaurants have an open kitchen setting, providing us with the opportunity to see how the food we ordered is prepared. The restaurants on the beach are more romantic, offering a wonderful view of the sea. They serve fresh frutti di mare, sushi and hamburgers, always with a twist by the local chefs. If we prefer to play it safe, we can choose from traditional American and Italian dishes as well.

Beaches in Bimini

Radio beach.

One of the most popular and best-known beaches can be found on North Bimini, directly next to Queen’s Highway. It is a very long shore segment – almost 3 kilometres in length – stretching from Alice Town all the way to Bailey Town. They refer to it as Radio Beach most of the time, but in fact, it consists of three connected beaches. Radio Beach is followed by Blister Beach and Spook Hill Beach. It would be a tough call to name the best or most beautiful one, and it is not in our place to do so. It depends entirely on you which parts you will like the best and where you want to spend a beautiful day.

Tiki Hut Beach

There are several cosy and peaceful beaches on South Bimini. Tiki Hut Beach might be the most significant one. It is a white sandy beach located on the western coast and has a length of over 2 kilometres. The shores are surrounded by breathtaking flora consisting of rattans, sisals and unique tropical flowers.

Honeymoon Beach

Honeymoon Beach is the famous beach of Gun Cay, located south of Bimini. The origin of the name is unknown, but make no mistake, the beach is not only for lovers. We can only approach it on a boat or on any other type of vessel. The beach is covered by warm sand, and diving in the incredibly clean water is a fantastic experience. There are several stingray species living near the beach, which have been so used to the presence of humans that they just swim around in peace. If we are careful enough and pay attention not to step on them, the chances of being stung are very slim. We can even touch or feed them.

North Cat Cay Beach

There are white sandy beaches all over the western coast of North Cat Cay. We can collect beautiful shells and other treasures on the beach. As the sea is very calm here, it is ideal for waterskiing, surfing and kayaking. The Bahamian waters are the cleanest in these parts, making them perfect for snorkelling as well. Divers can venture further out towards the Gulf stream where they can explore amazing reefs and giant tropical fish in the deep waters.

Which period is best to sail in Bimini?

Bimini has a subtropical climate, characterised by moderate warm weather during the entire year. The average annual temperature is 28° Celsius; this means 21° Celsius in the winter and 27° Celsius in the summer. The temperature rarely drops below 16° Celsius or above 32° Celsius. The dominant wind blows from the northeast in the winter and from the southeast in the summer, freshening up the air a bit. The velocity of the wind is an average of 15 km/h during the entire year. Most of the precipitation falls in the summer months. At the end of the summer – during the period between June and November – tropical cyclones (hurricanes) may be a threat.

The strong wind (with a blast of over 90 km/h) and the seawater that rises, as a result, may cause heavy damage. The weather is usually pleasant in Bimini during the whole year, meaning that sailing is also enjoyable in all seasons. We should definitely avoid the hurricane season though, as storms may be very challenging.

The climate diagrams are based on 30 years of hourly weather model simulations. They give good indications of typical climate patterns and expected conditions (temperature, precipitation, sunshine, and wind). The “mean daily maximum” (solid red line) shows the maximum temperature of an average day for every month for Bimini. Likewise, the “mean daily minimum” (solid blue line) shows the average minimum temperature.

The wind rose for Bimini shows how many hours per year the wind blows from the indicated direction. The diagram for Bimini shows the days per month, during which the wind reaches a certain speed.

Guide to Bimini

Historical Paradise

Although the Bimini Islands are among the closest Bahamian destinations to the USA mainland, they are are surprisingly quiet and tranquil.

Surrounded by stunning crystal clear turquoise waters, the Bimini islands occupy a peaceful but central location which should be high on your itinerary when exploring the Bahamas . Despite the position of the islands they do not attract as many tourists and yacht charters as many other groups of islands around the Bahamian area. This is an extra plus for you,  meaning more time to do your own thing and enjoying the seclusion that comes with it.

Exploring the islands you will find many interesting connections with history, one of the famous being a freshwater well with a commemorative plaque. On more than one occasion the Bimini islands have been associated with the Fountain of Youth, as some people believe that the location of that fountain is here in the Bimini islands. As a result, many religious parties make pilgrimages to pay homage to the possible existence of the phenomenon. On the other end of the spectrum, there are also locations within the chain of islands which have ties to ancient pirate legend. 

In addition to the beauty which is evident across the islands, perhaps these islands are more enticing from the water. One such spot is the Healing Hole. Filled with many nutrients and minerals including lithium and sulphur, this pool is popular with visitors to help rejuvenate the body and relax. Just as relaxing, around the coasts of the Bimini islands you can enjoy some fishing. Catch a fresh supper or try to find the smalltooth sawfish, which is one of the rarest fish in the world.

Exploring deeper in the depths of the waters, you can tick off one of the most popular shipwreck dives in this area. The SS Sapona has a colorful history which has seen her store oil, have a career as a rum runner during the prohibition and then be savagely attacked by a hurricane. Even after she was grounded, the Sapona was used by armed forces for target practice during the second world war. Ideal for all levels of divers, the wreck can be seen at only 20 feet below the surface. When visiting the wreck you will not be alone as there are hundreds of fish and even some jellyfish housed in the vicinity.

Even after ticking the SS Sapona off your list you still need to visit another sight – one which has puzzled many divers and oceanographic experts. Situated in the northern area of the Bimini islands is the attraction best known as the Stones of Atlantis. Although many theories place Atlantis in one of many locations around the globe, this particular spot is a positive contender. The arrangement of stones appears to be man-made, and it looks like it could be a path or even a segment of wall.

Take to the waters to investigate for yourself, and be sure to see all the other beautiful sights around this tropical necklace of islands. Start planning your vacation to Bimini by comparing all of the available luxury superyachts for Bahamas yacht charters .

Discover Paradise: Bimini Islands Yacht Charter Adventures

Bimini is the westernmost district of the Bahamas , consisting of two main islands — North and South — and numerous cays. It is the closest Bahamian island to Florida, and, like the Abacos , it is well known for deep-sea fishing. A Bimini Islands Yacht Charter takes you to some of the most beautiful waters in the world.

The Bimini Islands offer a laid-back vibe and plenty of opportunities to be as active or relaxed as you’d like.

The Bimini Islands’ summers are hot, humid, wet, and mostly cloudy. The winters are comfortable, humid, windy, and mostly clear. Over the year, the temperature varies from 67°F to 88°F, and it is rarely below 57°F or above 91°F.

Bimini Islands | Things to See and Do

• See the Sapona Shipwreck . The SS Sapona was a concrete-hulled cargo steamer that ran aground near the Bimini Islands during a storm in 1926. In addition, the ship’s wreck is a popular site for scuba diving and snorkeling.
• Take a dip in the Fountain of Youth . Spanish explorer Juan Ponce De Leon supposedly discovered this famous site, and the waters are believed to have youth-restoring properties.
• Walk the mile-long Bimini Nature Trail at the Bimini Sands Resort & Marina. A professional guide shares fun facts about the island’s indigenous plants and animals. Additionally, self-guided tours are available along the trail. It is an easy route and takes about a half hour to complete.
• Visit the Dolphin House Museum . This unique museum is a Bahamian national treasure and a well-known landmark. This “Poem In Stone” is a dolphin and ocean-inspired museum built over the last 27 years using recycled, salvaged, and donated materials.
• Sunbathe on Radio Beach . This lovely beach has soft white sand and calm water. The nearby coral reef protects the beach from ocean currents, making it an excellent spot for wading and swimming. Near the beach, you can purchase ready-made seafood and have a picnic.
• Try Conch Salad . Visitors rave about the conch salad at Joe’s Conch Shack.
• Visit the Bimini Islands Museum . The building was once the Commissioner’s Office and jail but was abandoned in 1974. It now displays relics such as old cannon balls, photographs of Ernest Hemingway, and artifacts from the old Rod & Gun Club.

Miami Yacht Term Charter – Bimini, Bahamas

Here’s your chance to get away from the mainland with an adventure to bimini..

Bimini Bay Beach Resort Casino Bimini Bay Marina Bimini Shipwreck Snorkeling and Scuba Swim with Dolphins Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth

When you charter a yacht to the Bahamas , you’ll visit a chain of tiny islands situated just west of the Bahamas that are merely a three hour boat ride away from South Beach, Miami. Bimini is rich in history, culture and is home to many landmarks that can be visited only by boat. Known for its laid back lifestyle, crystal clear water, pristine white sandy beaches and picturesque nature trails, visitors are pleasantly surprised with the many activities waiting to be explored. If you’re a diver or snorkeler, Bimini offers some of the finest aqua experiences around. Swim up close with wild dolphins and stingrays, or explore the age old remains of a mysterious shipwreck.

One of the most well known tourist destinations in the area is Underwater Bimini Road; an unusual rock formation that dates back centuries and is believed to be the remnants of an ancient human built road. Located near Bimini Road is what some people believe to be Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth. Locals call this pool of water the Healing Hole which lies at the end of a network of underground tunnels that pump cool, fresh water during outgoing tides.

Explore this beautiful island chain on a Chartered Yacht Vacation that you’ll never forget. We recommend spending two days in Bimini to experience the full atmosphere of the island and landmarks. We also recommend booking a stay at Bimini Bay Resort & Marina (www.rwbimini.com) for awesome restaurants and a Casino to try your luck!

The resort has a State of the Art 10,000 sq. ft. casino with high stakes poker, black jack, and progressive slot machines. Multiple 3-5 Star restaurants are throughout the property, in addition to two infinity pools, pool bar and café, and a traditional Bahamian outdoor massive sports themed BBQ near the entrance serving some of the best jerk chicken and famous conch salad and ceviche.

Resort World just added a luxury Hilton Hotel with Rooftop Pool, Serenity Luxury Spa, and six new restaurants. The Hilton is a great place for our charters to spend the day or evening enjoying a relaxing massage and dinner on land…after an amazing day of boating and exploring Bimini.

For more information about the resort, visit http://www.rwbimini.com/

BAHAMAS YACHT CHARTERS TO BIMINI ISLANDS AND POINTS OF INTEREST

Bimini is the nearest Bahamian island (two islands) to the USA, barely 50 miles from Miami, it’s a very short trip and only a few hours by yacht from Miami. A tiny island of the Bahamas, Bimini is just 7 miles long and barely 700 feet wide at its widest point. Bimini is the western most island in the Bahamas and the closest foreign island to the US mainland and has previously been recognized mainly for the famous Hemingway era.

Whether you come with the family, as a couple, or single for bar hopping, casinos, scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, tanning on the beaches, or relaxing in a hammock in the cool breeze, the Bahamas will leave you speechless and satisfied. A US Passport or birth certificate is required when traveling to the Bahamas.

BAHAMAS YACHT CHARTERS TO NASSAU, HARBOUR CAY, BERRY ISLANDS

The more ‘popular’ areas of the Bahamas begins in the Berry Islands, while on your way to Nassau, which are low-lying and unique with few inhabitants, fantastic fishing and the feeling of being on a different planet. Many groups make Chub Cay their first stop, then go north…or start in Great Stirrup Cay and go Southwards. Either way, even on a power-yacht, it will take a week or longer to when traveling by yacht. If leaving from Miami, charterers will cross the Gulf Stream with its seasonal uncertainties, with slight chances of the charter being delayed a day or so, if the seas are too rough, but this is not normally the case and the journey is well worth it!! Most our charter guests prefer to fly into Nassau, and board their sailing or motor yacht at the Atlantis Hotel and Marina, beginning their cruise in Bahamas, avoiding the seven-hour delivery across the Atlantic Ocean. Other charterers, especially the bare-boaters, like to fly into Marsh Harbour in the Abacos and rent a charter boat from there and explore the Sea of Abaco.

The Atlantis Hotel Casino and Resort is the largest and most amazing resort in all of Bahamas, offering 5-Star amenities for all ages including a theme waterpark, the Caribbean’s largest aquarium, interactive dolphin lagoon, world-class casino and spa, couture brand shopping center, and over a dozen fine dining restaurants. Many charters begin and end their charter at the Atlantis Marina, which provides just enough excitement and action for a couple of days, while other days are spent exploring the more remote islands.

For more information about the casino, visit http://www.atlantisbahamas.com/

BAHAMAS YACHT CHARTERS TO EXUMAS AND ABACOS

The Exumas chain of 365 islands (or cays) in the Bahamas, starts about 35 nm South of Nassau and runs about 120 nm South from Allen Cay, all the way to Georgetown that has an airport with regular scheduled flights. This is considered the most sought after location in the Bahamas with crystal-clear waters, swimming pigs, superb diving, friendly petting sharks, snorkeling, fishing and lots of neat little bays and coves to anchor out. Exumas is a special strip of private islands where one can find a lone Tiki beach bar in the middle of seemingly nowhere…in paradise! Be sure to visit Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, which some consider the most breathtaking place is the Exumas. http://www.exumapark.org. There are some great itineraries that start and end either in Nassau or Staniel Cay and cover the upper Exumas, Cat Island, Eleuthera, and Harbour island.

For the even more adventurous, a Georgetown pick-up and a route that includes the “Out-Islands” of the Bahamas is even more attractive for those of us who like remote and mostly uninhabited islands. The few locals you encounter are very friendly and polite. This route includes the islands of Rum Cay, Conception, San Salvador, Long Island, Acklins, Crooked Islands, and Mayaguana. The island of Great Inagua has a fine National Park and nature reserve with the largest population of West Indian Flamingoes, Parrots, and other bird species. Little Inagua has a large population of feral donkeys and goats that were originally left there (or escaped from) the numerous wrecks caused by the Inagua reef.

In the Northern Bahamas, the Sea of Abaco, with its three “major towns” of Marsh Harbour, Hopetown and Coopers Town and ringed by Green Turtle Cay, Treasure Cay and many others, constitutes a small isolated area with its own special culture and values. The Abacos are especially known for calm waters, warm breezes and panoramic beauty that make this 120-mile–long chain of islands a boating and sailing paradise. It’s not just the sea that attracts travelers from around the world. Those who prefer to explore by land will find championship golf courses on Treasure Cay, charming colonial towns on Green Turtle and Elbow Cays, and countless hotels, restaurants and bars throughout.

Bimini Trip

Just a short distance from the shores of Florida, the Bahamas is a breathtaking collection of islands that are practically begging to be explored. While there may be no difficulty finding a boat from Fort Lauderdale to Bahamas, after all, it’s a popular cruise destination; there are few truly private experiences available. Skip the Bimini Ferry and charter a yacht instead. 

Our team offers fully customizable experiences. Whether you are looking for a short trip to Bimini by boat or an extended week-long yacht vacation, we offer it all. From private chefs to personalized yacht parties , we can build your perfect getaway. Join us on an adventure you won’t soon forget.

Take a Private Boat to the Bahamas from Fort Lauderdale

The Bahamas is unsurprisingly a highly sought-after travel destination for millions of tourists globally. The lush landscape, crystal clear waters, and thriving ecosystem make it a wonder for anyone living in a city.  Each year, nearly six million tourists visit the islands via packed cruise ships or spartan ferries. 

A spectacular destination deserves to be experienced at one’s leisure. As such, we offer trips on a private boat from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas, allowing you to experience the islands on your own time.

It’s hard to do better than a boat trip to Bimini. This little island in the Bahamas is a dazzling jewel sitting in the middle of pristine azure waters. A favorite of famous figures such as Ernest Hemingway, the island will enchant anyone with its beauty. 

Located just 50 nautical miles offshore, we offer the best way to get a boat from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas. The trip to Bimini from Fort Lauderdale should take only 2-3 hours on a powered vessel or a day on sail. Once there, take command of the day.

The island’s vibrant coral reefs are home to a rainbow of tropical fish and other exotic sea creatures. After swimming with the dolphins, adventure to the legendary Bimini Road, believed by some to be remnants of the lost city of Atlantis, offering an intriguing underwater mystery to unravel.

Take advantage of the Bahamas trip from Fort Lauderdale and enjoy local Bahamian cuisine at waterfront restaurants, savoring the freshest seafood and tropical fruits.

Our boat to the Bahamas from Fort Lauderdale is personalized to your needs. Whether you are looking for adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both, we’ll ensure that your trip to Bimini will be one you’ll remember for a lifetime.

Things to Do In Bimini

While the island of Bimini may be small, it is densely packed with many things to do. Here are some things you can enjoy on your private Bimini trip from Fort Lauderdale.

• Lounge On The Beaches. The Bahamas are renowned for their beaches. Radio Beach is a particularly popular spot for anyone looking for the quintessential island beach experience.
• Explore The SS Sapona. Ran aground in 1926, the SS Sapona is a local landmark and serves as an artificial reef, making it a great spot to explore.
• Find The Fountain of Youth. Bimini is home to what Juan Ponce de Leon believed was the Fountain of Youth. Today, the freshwater pool is honored with a plaque, allowing visitors to experience it themselves.
• Dine on Fresh Seafood. Taking any private boat from Fort Lauderdale to Bimini would be a waste if you don’t sample the variety of fresh seafood on offer.
• Uncover the Mysteries of Bimini Road. A 600-foot-long submerged road extends off the coast of Bimini. There is still no consensus on whether the formation is natural or a man-made product of some ancient civilization, such as the mythical city of Atlantis. Regardless of origin, it’s a popular snorkeling tour for anyone visiting the island.
• See the Resort.  Bimini is home to a huge resort that offers day affordable day passes. Chill by the pool, enjoy the ongoing parties and events, and try your luck at table games.

Private Yacht Charter from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas

If you want to experience paradise for longer than one day, you can take advantage of our charter boat from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas for an extended week-long excursion through the islands. While a private boat to Bimini is already a notable experience, the Bahamas has many more islands to offer. With extra time to explore, you can see a selection of islands and plan the ultimate Bahamas trip. Below are some of the most popular islands to see on a charter boat from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas.

Harbour Island

Famous for its Pink Sands Beach, Harbour Island is a picturesque retreat boasting rosy-hued shorelines. This charming island offers a laid-back atmosphere, delightful local boutiques, and a range of water activities. Enjoy the unique blend of Bahamian culture and colonial home charm.

A tropical paradise known for its breathtaking blue holes, the Exuma Cays are home to the iconic swimming pigs who are more than happy to take any food off your hands. Snorkel in Thunderball Grotto (featured in James Bond films) and unwind on the untouched beaches surrounded by crystal-clear waters.

Grand Bahamas

Home to Freeport, Grand Bahama Island offers a mix of contemporary living and natural beauty. Explore Lucayan National Park’s caves and mangroves, unwind on Gold Rock Beach, and experience the lively atmosphere of the International Bazaar in Freeport.

A boater’s dream destination, the Abaco Islands feature charming colonial towns like Hope Town and Marsh Harbour. With a stunning palette of turquoise waters, coral reefs, and cays, the Abacos provide an ideal setting for boating, diving, and island hopping.

Sailing from Florida to the Bahamas

While it may be too late to become an explorer of the seven seas, you can still emulate the experience by sailing from Florida to the Bahamas. Take a trip through the Atlantic on one of our sailboat charters and experience a different type of boating. Depending on how many days you book, you can have a spectacular trip to Bimini or choose to island hop through the Caribbean.

If you need help deciding on a vessel or want to explore new options or locations, feel free to consult with us, and we’ll help plan a great day on one of our yachts for charter .

The wraparound windows allow plenty of natural light in and ensure you don’t lose sight of the famous blue water surrounding the Bahamas. The vessel shouldn’t have issues accommodating you and your guests with its three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The Sea Ray also features plenty of space on the outside with a large stern and bow, complete with lounge beds to take in the warm sun and fresh air. A retractable swim platform also makes getting in and out of the water easy for all ages.

Our Fairline is the perfect size for Bimini trips from Fort Lauderdale. Hop on this vessel and get to Bimini in as little as two hours. The Fairline features a sizeable open-air cockpit with plenty of seating and viewing opportunities. Lounging beds are found both in the cockpit and at the bow.

If you need a break from the water, step into the recently renovated cabin, which features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a living area with a galley. A dining table allows you to bring food onboard and enjoy it as you move to your next destination.

Fountaine Pajot

For those in need of ample space, consider our expansive Fountaine Pajot. Stretching 57 feet in length and nearly 30 feet in width, this catamaran is equipped to embark on any Bimini adventure. With a focus on supreme comfort, the Fountaine Pajot offers a spacious living area that includes a fully equipped galley featuring a cooktop, oven, and refrigerator.

Rent a boat with or without a skipper

Many of our boat charters in Bimini come with the option of sailing with a skipper and/or crew. Although this may come at an extra cost, having a skipper on board can, no doubt, provide you with an even more enjoyable experience! Your skipper can adapt the sailing route so that your voyage best suits the desires of you and the rest of your party.

Additionally, setting sail with a skipper will make your voyage even more comfortable! The skipper will take care of all the technical aspects of sailing, so all you need to do is sit back and relax.

If you would like to take charge of your boat charter in Bimini, then bareboat charters are the way to go. Enjoy a bareboat charter if you have a license and set sail at your own pace. You need a valid boating license to enjoy a boat this way so check with the boat owner beforehand to see that your license is valid.

When is the best time of year to rent a boat?

The best time to visit Bimini and rent a boat is during the high season, which typically falls between December and April . The average temperatures during the high season range from the 70s to 80s Fahrenheit, providing ideal conditions for sailing, snorkeling, and basking in the sun.

If you prefer to avoid the peak crowds but still enjoy good weather, consider visiting in the shoulder months of November and May . The average temperatures during November and May range from the mid-70s to mid-80s Fahrenheit, making them equally inviting for exploring the waters and soaking in the beauty of Bimini's natural surroundings.

What type of boat is best for a Bimini boat charter?

Before choosing the right vessel for your boat rental in Bimini, you first have to think about the duration of your holiday. If you’re only going to sail for a few days, it is best to opt for a daily charter such as a motorboat or a RIB. With the speed of these vessels, you’ll be able to see everything on your wish list in no time. If you’re planning a longer charter of a week or more you should choose a vessel that includes amenities you’ll need during your stay. Catamarans and yachts have the space and accommodations on board to ensure a comfortable stay on the water. For a more luxurious holiday, you might consider a gulet, and for an authentic sailing experience a sailboat.

If you’re unsure about whether or not a vessel suits your needs, feel free to contact the boat owners to get a better sense of what is included on board. With our large fleet, you’ll have no problem finding the perfect boat for your Bimini boat charter!

Just 50 miles from Florida, the Bimini Islands are perfect to explore with a boat rental from Miami or Fort Lauderdale. Enjoy a long weekend and find out why Hemingway and Martin Luther King Jr loved it here.

A slice of tropical paradise, just a short trip from Miami, the Bimini Islands are packed full of things to do for a long weekend away. Arriving by yacht charter from Miami means you’ll be able to island hop, find your perfect cay or beach and then jump in the sparkling sea to explore the vibrant marine life here. Head to Alice Town to stock up on supplies for your boat rental, as well as enjoying a sundowner with a fantastic view across the sea.

Sailing from Florida to the Bahamas

Being so close to South Florida means that many choose to sail over to the Bahamas for an overnight stay, or longer. Although you can make the trip to Bimini as a day trip, by staying to explore you can experience the local culture and cuisine without rushing back. Bimini is actually closer to Florida than to Freeport or Nassau, so Miami makes a great base to explore this far flung part of these islands.

The great thing about having your private yacht charter is that you’re free to explore and follow your own schedule. Choose from bareboats, for those who want to use their own experience and skills, or charter a captained yacht to set sail to the amazing Bimini Islands.

The best things to do in Bimini, Bahamas with a boat rental

Being part of a tropical archipelago such as the Bahamas, of course there is a variety of incredible beaches just waiting for you to discover, but if you’re looking for action there is plenty of choice too. Kayaking and paddle boarding are popular things to do in Bimini, perfect for exploring many of the local cays including the beautiful Honeymoon and Gun Cay. Of course, snorkelling and scuba diving are par for the course around here, so don’t forget to pack a mask and flippers, or check with your captain, as your Bimini boat rental might already have those included in the price.

One of the main things to do in the area is visit the wreck of the SS Sapona. Once a troop transporter, then a liquor store during prohibition, the boat was wrecked during the infamous  hurricane in 1926, and it was subsequently used as target practice for USAF bombers. Today it makes a great place to explore with a snorkel, or to go fishing.

Diving the SS Sapona in Bimini

This rusted wreck was once used by a local rum runner to supply Florida with booze during the prohibition era. Today, the shell of the SS Sapona is used as a navigational landmark for many boaters in the area, and is one of the most popular places to visit by boat rental in Bimini. Sitting in just 15 feet of water, it’s easy to dive in and take a look around at the sea-life that have made the wreck home. Just three miles offshore from South Bimini Island, make sure to visit SS Sapona on your Bahamas sailing trip.

Diving or snorkeling the bimini road.

Thanks to its linear underwater formation, locals believe that Bimini Road is all that remains of the fabled city of Atlantis. Whatever it is, the Bimini Road is an unmissable attraction for snorkelers and divers visiting the area, easily accessible with your boat rental. Sitting in around 18 foot of water, the formation follows a path around one mile underwater, just off the shores of North Bimini Island. You’ll spot a plethora of fish, as well as nurse and hammerhead sharks, kingfish and more. If you’re lucky maybe even encounter dolphins and turtles…

Explore turtle rocks on a bimini boat rental.

Just south of South Bimini Island, Turtle Rocks are a formation jutting out of the sea which offer fantastic and varied underwater terrain. For snorkelling, the shallows around the rocks are teeming with sea-life including stingrays and, as the name implies, turtles. Going down to 115 feet deep, the rocks offer a great opportunity for all levels of divers, with sharks, eagle rays and barracuda calling the area around here home. 

Enjoy local cuisine in Alice Town

All that sailing and snorkeling sure works up an appetite, and thankfully there are plenty of places to enjoy some exquisite cuisine in the Bimini Islands. Enjoy a traditional (and very fiery) fresh conch salad, fresh lobster tails, grilled fish or spicy jerk dishes at many of the shacks and bars across Alice Town. Wash it all down with a cool Sands beer, which is the local brew, and finish it off with Guava Duff, a traditional dessert made from guava and rum. A perfect end to a fantastic sailing trip on your Sailo boat rental.

Welcome To Bimini Cove

Just 50 miles from Florida, Bimini Cove is a boater’s paradise! Our deep-water marina and beach front condos are perfect for a tropical getaway. The ONLY resort on the beach in Bimini, we feature a protected, easy-access marina, one-, two- and three-bedroom condos with AC and kitchens, two beautiful beaches, freshwater pools, and much more. Bimini Cove has something for everyone who loves the ocean – families, leisure yachters, sail boaters, fishing enthusiasts, diving fanatics, shark divers, and beach lovers. A true island escape so close to home.

Resort Activities

Deep Sea Fishing

“You can be in over 1000 feet of water in less than five minutes which really expands your fishing options.”

Scuba Diving

“If you are looking for a very laid back place to relax, fish, scuba dive, swim with sharks or sting rays, swim/float snorkel, eat…this is the place to go!”

Infinity Pool

“Multiple pools to choose from although the infinity pool was my favorite!!! Such a beautiful view!”

Shark Adventures

“The Shark Encounter was a major highlight and very respectful of the Caribbean reef sharks we were fortunate to share time with in their home.”

Staying at Bimini Cove Resort gave us a lot of options on  activities  and meals, including left overs and dinner in our condo if we wanted it. Several times we went to North Bimini for a different dinner – no problem. Nice not being over there in the crowds all the time.
