Before starting your private yacht charter to Bimini Island in The Bahamas, allow us to get you acquainted with this tiny but fascinating island. It’s divided in three small Islands: North, East, and South Bimini, with North and South Bimini being the largest. Also, the name is derived from these two Islands (Bi Mini).

 

The Northside is only seven miles long and seven hundred feet wide. You only need a golf cart to move around and enjoy the shops, restaurants, and bars.

 

With only 182 people living on the South side you will encounter South Bimini Airport, a few small hotels, and private homes you can rent. The island is famous for Big Game Fishing, scuba diving and snorkeling.

South Bimini is more relaxing whereas North Bimini has more activity and is recommended by us. You have options of Marinas where to dock, from Bimini Big Game Marina to Resorts World Bimini Resort and Marina.

What to See & Do in Bimini Islands, Bahamas

Scuba Diving and Snorkeling at SS Sapona Shipwreck

 

The SS Sapona Shipwreck was a concrete cargo vessel built by Henry Ford during WWII. In 1926 it was destroyed by a hurricane. Today it still sits on the Southside 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:

 

  • 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.

 

​

Quick tips:

 

  • Game fishing chart to help for certain seasonal fish

  • Professional fishing crew is highly recommended

  • Plenty of food and drinks, and sunblock

  • Early morning fishing is the best time

Water  Activities

Being a small island, Bimini is surrounded by unreal turquoise waters which makes it a perfect location to relax in the sun on the pristine white beaches. 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!

Golf Cart Cruising

Bimini is so small that renting a car is neither necessary nor an option. You can make your way around North Bimini in less than 30 minutes by golf cart. There are more than 10 golf cart rental companies on the island, making it easy to rent one for the day.

 

Do as the locals and take a short, leisurely drive to the corner store, or to eat at one of the many restaurants (pass by Bimini Big John’s Bar & Grill), head to the beach, or try your luck at the casino. The locals are incredibly nice and welcoming, always ready to give advice for the best local food and live music. There is also a daily ferry service between North and South Bimini, though you will find more to do on the North side.
