Bimini is the closest Bahamian island group to Miami, which makes it the natural first Bahamas yacht trip. It is small, relaxed and built around the water: shallow turquoise flats, a famous shipwreck you can snorkel, sandbars, fishing, and a handful of beach clubs and local kitchens. Guests who want a short, high-impact escape rather than a long expedition usually start here.
Just a few hours from Miami, Bimini is one of the hottest yacht destinations in South Florida. Enjoy miles of white sand beaches, majestic crystal-clear ocean, and a chain of exclusive islands, the perfect quick getaway from the mainland.
Prime Experiences plans the whole crossing from Miami, captain and crew, marina slips, provisioning and shore-side reservations, so the only thing you decide is where to drop anchor next.
Crossing and travel times are estimates only. Actual timing depends on the yacht, departure point, weather, sea conditions, route and the itinerary you choose. Your captain makes the final call on the day.
Relaxed, fun and water-focused.
The SS Sapona is a concrete-hulled steamer that ran aground off South Bimini in 1926. Much of the wreck still sits above the waterline in shallow water, which makes it one of the easiest and most photogenic snorkel stops in the area. Access depends on sea conditions on the day.
A crescent-shaped anchorage on Gun Cay with clear, shallow turquoise water. It is a classic anchor-up spot for swimming, floating, wading the shallows and simply spending an afternoon off the swim platform.
Bimini's waters are known for wild dolphin sightings, and boats do run trips to the areas where they are most often seen. These are wild animals in open water, so encounters can never be guaranteed on any given day.
Bimini has a long-standing reputation as a sportfishing destination and is closely associated with Ernest Hemingway's time in the islands. Offshore and flats fishing can be arranged depending on the yacht, season and licensing.
Bimini pairs yacht time with time ashore. Marina-side resorts, pools, beach clubs and long stretches of quiet sand are all within easy reach, so you can split the day between the water and the island.
Fresh seafood, conch prepared several ways and casual Bahamian island cooking. Shore-side reservations can be arranged in advance, or your crew can serve aboard.
Shallow sandbars are a highlight of the area: swimming, floating and paddleboarding in waist-deep water. Available water toys vary by yacht, so we confirm what is aboard before your trip.
An example of how a day in Bimini can come together. Every trip is customized, and the order and stops change with your group, the yacht and the conditions.
Breakfast on deck with turquoise water on all sides.
Snorkel or explore around the wreck while conditions are calm.
Lunch served on the yacht, or a stop at a local island spot.
Swimming, sandbar time, paddleboards and water toys.
Anchor up somewhere quiet and watch the sun go down.
Dinner ashore on the island, or a private dinner aboard.
Example itinerary only. Every trip is customized, and the route, stops and timing depend on your group, the yacht, weather and sea conditions.
You do not have to spend the crossing at sea. Depending on the destination, the yacht and the itinerary, guests can fly into the Bahamas and have the yacht experience begin there. It is a popular choice for travelers who would rather spend their days exploring islands than covering distance. Tell us your dates and we will confirm what is possible for your group.
Fly-in availability depends on the yacht, the destination and the itinerary. We confirm airports, timing and logistics with you before anything is booked.

Head out toward the areas where wild dolphins are most often seen, keeping in mind that these are wild animals and encounters are never guaranteed. Certify for SCUBA at the resort dive shop, or cast a line for world-class blue marlin and bonefish.
Depart the resort for the SS Sapona, a steamer wrecked in 1926 sitting in just 15 feet of water. Continue to the crescent-shaped anchorage of Honeymoon Harbor on Gun Cay for wakeboarding, jet skis and waterskiing.
Two swimming pools, poolside massages and shopping in Fisherman's Village. Walk north for miles of untouched beach. In the evening, Bimini Bay arranges a private beach BBQ with a bonfire, grilled lobster and calypso.
Return to Miami by yacht knowing Bimini and all its treasures are just a short trip away.

No. Rates that include fuel and local fees apply to charters that begin in the Bahamas.

Yes. Bimini is the closest Bahamian island group to Miami, which is why it is the most common short Bahamas yacht trip. It suits guests who want an island escape without committing to a long itinerary. Actual crossing time depends on the yacht, departure point, weather and sea conditions.
Snorkeling the SS Sapona wreck, anchoring at Honeymoon Harbor, sandbar and swim stops, paddleboarding and water toys, fishing, beach and resort time ashore, and local Bahamian food. What is possible on a given trip depends on the yacht, the itinerary and conditions.
The SS Sapona sits in shallow water off South Bimini and is a well-known snorkeling stop. Whether you can snorkel it on your trip depends on sea state, visibility and your captain's judgment that day.
In many cases yes. Guests who prefer not to spend the crossing at sea can fly in and begin the yacht experience in the Bahamas. Availability depends on the yacht and itinerary, so we confirm the details with you before booking.
It can be. The shallow, calm water at sandbars and anchorages suits families, and a shorter trip is often easier with children. Guest capacity depends on the yacht, since overnight trips are limited by sleeping cabins.
Bimini works well as a short trip, and many guests treat it as a weekend-style escape. If you want more island variety or a longer vacation, Nassau or the Exumas are usually the better fit. We build the length around your dates rather than a fixed package.
We estimate roughly 3 hours from miami at a comfortable cruising speed, but this is an estimate only. Crossing and travel times are estimates only. Actual timing depends on the yacht, departure point, weather, sea conditions, route and the itinerary you choose. Your captain makes the final call on the day.
Overnight trips typically carry 2–8 guests, since everyone needs a cabin. Day charters in Miami carry more, but multi-day charters are limited by sleeping capacity.
Your charter includes the yacht, licensed captain and crew, and a planned itinerary. Fuel for the crossing, marina slips, provisioning, customs fees where applicable and crew gratuity are quoted separately so you see exactly what you are paying for.
Yes. The Bahamas is an international destination, so every guest needs a valid passport. Your captain handles the vessel's clearance process on arrival.
Multi-day trips take planning: marina slips, provisioning and crew scheduling. We recommend reserving 4 to 8 weeks ahead, and earlier for holiday weekends.

“We booked a half day for my bachelorette and it turned into the best part of the whole weekend. The yacht was immaculate, the music and cooler were ready when we stepped on, and we cruised past the Miami skyline before anchoring at the sandbar where everyone swam for over an hour. Planning was just as easy as the day itself, every question answered within minutes.”

“I planned this as an anniversary surprise and Prime handled every detail. Champagne and flowers were already onboard, we watched the sunset from the bow with the skyline behind us, and then took photos on the water that we still have framed. The route they suggested was perfect, calm water the entire time and never crowded. Easily the highlight of our trip to Miami.”

“From the first call to the moment we stepped back on the dock everything was seamless. We had eight friends onboard for a birthday, spent the afternoon swimming at the sandbar, had lunch on the flybridge, and finished with a slow cruise past Star Island. Booking online took minutes and the price we were quoted was exactly what we paid, no surprises at the end.”

“Nos encantó la experiencia completa. El yate estaba impecable, pasamos el día navegando por la bahía, nos detuvimos a nadar y los niños disfrutaron muchísimo. La organización fue perfecta desde la reserva hasta el regreso al muelle, todo salió tal como nos lo explicaron. Sin duda volveremos a repetir el paseo en nuestra próxima visita a Miami.”

“Chartered for a small corporate group and it exceeded expectations. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned around sunset, the catering arrived on time, and the boat gave us plenty of space to talk business and still enjoy the water. Everyone asked how we found it. We are already planning the next one for our client dinner in the spring.”

“Our family of six spent four hours on the water and it was the most relaxing day of the vacation. We cruised the bay, anchored where the kids could swim safely, and had the whole boat to ourselves with plenty of shade and space. Communication before the trip was clear and detailed, so we knew exactly what to bring and where to meet.”
