Leave the skyline behind. Find a patch of impossibly blue water, linger over lunch, and decide whether sunset is your cue to head home—or stay another night.
Bimini Day Trips & Overnight Charters
One island day.
Or no hurry to leave.
Bimini sits about 50 miles off Florida’s eastern coast. A day away or a weekend that feels properly away? Choose the pace; we’ll help match the yacht and crossing plan.
Make a day of it.
An early start, a beach or swim stop, and lunch with a different view. Same-day trips need a suitable yacht, favorable conditions and enough time for clearance and the return.
Stay for sunset.
Dinner without watching the departure clock. A quiet night aboard—or a separately arranged hotel—and a slower island morning.
Take the weekend.
Two nights leave more room for snorkeling, exploring and doing very little. A trip with time to enjoy the island, not simply reach it.
Things to Do in Bimini
Long lunch.
Salt-water hair.
Nothing to rush back to.
Ask about Radio Beach, snorkeling near the Sapona wreck, or the cays around Honeymoon Harbour. Pick a couple of things you would love to do; leave room for the pleasure of being aboard.
We’ll help arrange the meals, equipment and shore plans that turn your wish list into a well-planned day.

Plan My Island Escape
A little more water. A little less hurry.
Stay for another swim.
A little inspiration
Three days.
A different state of mind.
A little island exploring, a full day on the water, and another morning away. Here’s a sample two-night Bimini escape.
Arrive. Exhale.
Cross from South Florida, clear in and settle into island time. Explore North Bimini or head for the beach, then enjoy dinner aboard or ashore.
Follow the water.
Breakfast aboard, a suitable snorkeling outing, and an unhurried lunch. Leave the evening for a sunset and whatever sounds good next.
One last dip.
If the return window allows, discuss a swim near Honeymoon Harbour or another suitable stop. Then settle in for the crossing home.
Let’s make it work beautifully
The right yacht.
The right departure.
Miami or Fort Lauderdale?
Miami to Bimini yacht charters start with your dates, where you are staying and the available yacht. Explore Fort Lauderdale yacht charters if that departure area suits you better; boarding locations and positioning costs must be confirmed.

Bimini Yacht Charter FAQs
A few things to know.
Then start packing.
How far is Bimini from Miami by boat?
The Bahamas tourism board places Bimini about 50 miles off Florida’s eastern coast. Your actual Miami-to-Bimini route depends on the departure marina, arrival point and navigation plan. Ask for the proposed passage distance in nautical miles.
Can we do a day trip to Bimini from Miami?
Yes, on suitable yachts in good weather. Leave early to make the most of your island time, allowing for both crossings and clearance. For a slower pace, choose an overnight escape.
How long is the boat ride to Bimini?
There is no single crossing time for every yacht. Speed, marina location, route and sea conditions matter. We confirm realistic timing for the vessel you are considering, including arrival arrangements—not just its fastest crossing.
Can we charter from Fort Lauderdale to Bimini?
Ask about Fort Lauderdale options when you share your dates and group size. We’ll identify the departure marina and explain any positioning charges in your proposal.
Which yachts can go, and can we sleep aboard?
We match your route to Bahamas-capable yachts and the right crew arrangements. Overnight trips also require suitable cabins and bed layouts; daytime guest capacity is not sleeping capacity. Browse our private yachts for inspiration, then ask which options fit your trip.
Is this a private charter or a ferry service?
A private yacht charter for your group, not individual ferry tickets. Your proposal covers an agreed yacht and itinerary. Meals, water toys, shore transfers and specialist activities should be confirmed rather than assumed.
How much does a Bimini yacht charter cost?
The total depends on the yacht, dates, duration, fuel, accommodation, destination charges and extras. Request an itemized quote, including taxes, service charges, gratuity policy and weather or cancellation terms.
Do we need passports and customs clearance?
Yes—this is international travel, even for a day. Bahamas boating guidance requires U.S. citizens to present a passport. Every guest should confirm entry, visa and U.S. re-entry requirements for their circumstances. The vessel clears at an authorized port of entry, with passengers remaining aboard until clearance. We confirm the clearance procedure for your specific charter before you go.
When is the best time to go, and what if the weather changes?
No month guarantees a smooth Gulf Stream crossing. The selected yacht, forecast and a safe return window matter most. Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1–November 30. Discuss cancellation, rescheduling and alternatives before booking; leave flexibility and avoid a tight flight connection afterward.
Can we choose restaurants, beach stops or snorkeling?
Absolutely—tell us your priorities. Marina access, reservations, shore transport, equipment and any guides must be arranged as needed. The captain decides which stops are safe and suitable. Our Bimini sightseeing guide helps narrow the wish list.
