Cross the channel from Port Everglades and spend seven hours on Bimini’s powder sand and clear water. This day cruise pairs a fast ferry with optional snorkeling, watersports, and island culture—ideal for travelers who want a Bahamas escape without an overnight.

The ferry eases away from Port Everglades and within a few hours the skyline of South Florida blurs into open sea. Salt wind sharpens the air, and by mid-morning the water has taken on the clear, pale turquoise that makes Bimini easy to believe. You step off the vessel into a compact island world—white sand, low palms, and the steady hum of golf carts threading narrow roads.
