Access to GYC's preferred anchoring spots in Bimini — secluded, stunning, and rarely crowded.
A typical Bimini day trip leaves Miami early and returns at sunset. Here's how the day unfolds.
Early morning departure from Miami marina. The crossing takes approximately 2–3 hours depending on sea state. Enjoy breakfast on board as the Bahamas come into view.
Anchor in crystal-clear Bahamian water. Snorkel the reefs, wade the white sand flats, enjoy a catered lunch on deck, and soak it all in.
Head back to Miami with the sunset at your stern. Arrive refreshed, tanned, and already planning your next trip.
International travel to the Bahamas is straightforward — here's what to prepare.
A valid US passport (or passport card) is required for entry into the Bahamas. Ensure yours is valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel date.
We handle the vessel's Customs and Immigration clearance with Bahamian authorities. Guests complete a brief Bahamas entry form — we provide and assist with this on board.
A nominal Bahamas departure tax/entry fee applies per guest. This is typically collected on board and is a small additional cost not included in the charter rate.
The Gulf Stream crossing can be choppy. We monitor conditions closely and will reschedule if seas are unsafe. Most days are smooth — especially in summer and fall.
Overnight Bahamas charters are available on select vessels. Stay anchored in Bimini or Great Harbour Cay for a full multi-day experience. Contact us for overnight packages.
Year-round, but May–October offers the calmest seas and warmest water. November–April can be windier but still very manageable on the right day.
