Amazing yacht rental experience. Ben was great on board, helpful, friendly and on top of everything. Everything went perfect, and the jet skis were superior. Will definitely be back.

PRIVATE BIMINI CHARTERS FROM SOUTH FLORIDA
Bimini sits just 50 miles east of Florida, the closest Bahamian island to the mainland. A private Bimini yacht charter covers that distance in about 2 to 3 hours across the Gulf Stream, which makes it the only Bahamian crossing you can comfortably do as a day trip. Every crossing departs from a deep-water marina in Miami or Fort Lauderdale, fully crewed and private to your group.
Crown Yachts runs private, crewed charters from South Florida across to Bimini. The captain manages the crossing, the weather window, customs clearance at the North Bimini port of entry, and all navigation. You spend the day at Honeymoon Harbour with the friendly stingrays at Gun Cay, snorkeling the SS Sapona wreck, exploring the Bimini Road, or fishing the drop-off that made Bimini the sportfishing capital of the world. A Bimini boat rental can run as a single day or as a multi-day stay aboard.
A Bimini boat charter is quoted per trip rather than at a fixed rate. The vessel, the format, the number of guests, and add-ons such as a chef privato e un open bar incidono tutti sul totale. Raccontaci data e programma su WhatsApp e prepariamo il preventivo.

COSA ASPETTARSI
A Bimini yacht charter is the easiest way to reach the Bahamas from South Florida. Here is what every crossing includes, from the marina in Florida to the anchorage off North Bimini.
Bimini is the closest Bahamian island to Florida, roughly 50 miles east of Miami and Fort Lauderdale across the Gulf Stream. On a motor yacht the crossing takes about 2 to 3 hours, which is what makes a Miami to Bimini yacht charter possible as a single day trip. The short distance is the reason Bimini is the most popular first crossing for anyone new to Bahamas cruising.
A Bimini day trip departs South Florida early, spends the day at anchor on the flats and sandbars, and returns the same evening. If you would rather slow down, the same Bimini yacht rental can run as an overnight or a multi-day charter, letting you wake up at anchor off North Bimini. Both formats are fully crewed and private to your group.
Every Bimini boat charter is a completely private booking. No shared passengers, no group tour format, no other guests at the marina or on board. Your group has the vessel, the captain, and the crew exclusively for the entire crossing to Bimini and back to the South Florida departure marina.
Passengers carry only a valid passport. The captain handles the Bahamian cruising permit, vessel documentation, customs clearance at the official port of entry in Bimini, and all navigation across the Gulf Stream. Every part of the private yacht charter Bimini crossing is managed by the crew from the dock in Florida to the anchorage.
Bimini packs an extraordinary amount into a small island chain. Honeymoon Harbour at Gun Cay is famous for the friendly southern stingrays that glide across the sandbar. The SS Sapona shipwreck is an easy snorkel in shallow water, and the flats around North and South Bimini offer visibility other bays cannot match. A Bahamas snorkeling charter. can be built around all of it.
Bimini earned its reputation as the sportfishing capital of the world in Hemingway's day, and the deep water sits only minutes from the island. Mahi, tuna, wahoo, and marlin run the drop-off just off the western shore. A Bimini fishing charter da Bimini raggiunge zone pescose più in fretta che quasi ovunque nella regione.
PUNTI DI PARTENZA
Bimini charters depart from deep-water marinas in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. We assign the departure point closest to where your group is staying for the shortest run to the crossing.
Seleziona una marina per vedere la posizione
Il principale punto di partenza di Miami per la traversata verso Bimini. All'estremità meridionale di Miami Beach accanto a Government Cut, le imbarcazioni escono dal canale in pochi minuti e sono in mare aperto in direzione est verso Bimini. La marina più richiesta per una gita in giornata da Miami a Bimini.
A Watson Island deep-water marina on the MacArthur Causeway between downtown Miami e Miami Beach. Ospita le imbarcazioni più grandi con ormeggi in acqua profonda, e un breve transito verso sud raggiunge Government Cut e l'Atlantico aperto per la rotta verso Bimini.
Sulla sponda orientale di Key Biscayne con accesso diretto all'Atlantico a est dell'isola. Uno dei punti di partenza di Miami più vicini al mare aperto, che accorcia la navigazione verso Cat Cay e Bimini senza transito nella baia interna.
La marina più conosciuta di Fort Lauderdale, su Seabreeze Boulevard a Fort Lauderdale Beach. From Bahia Mar the yacht clears Port Everglades and heads straight across the Gulf Stream, making it a popular Fort Lauderdale departure for the Bimini crossing.
Una marina d'acqua profonda per mega yacht sull'Intracoastal, alla 17th Street Causeway vicino a Rio Vista, minutes from the Port Everglades inlet. A natural Fort Lauderdale departure for larger vessels making the Bimini crossing.
Sull'Intracoastal, ai piedi del ponte di Las Olas, a pochi minuti dal quartiere di Las Olas district and a short run south to the Port Everglades inlet. A central Fort Lauderdale departure for guests staying near the beach who want a Bimini day trip.

DOVE ANDRAI
Bimini packs stingray sandbars, shipwrecks, a mysterious rock formation, and calm swim beaches into one small island chain. These are the stops most requested on a Bimini day trip or overnight.
Select a spot to see where it is
North Bimini is the main island and the heart of Bimini life. Alice Town runs along the King's Highway with waterfront bars, dive shops, and the historic Compleat Angler district that Hemingway made famous. The North Bimini harbour is the official port of entry where the captain clears customs on arrival. It is the natural base for a day trip or an overnight anchorage.
Honeymoon Harbour at Gun Cay, just south of Bimini, is the single most requested stop on the island chain. The shallow sandbar is home to friendly southern stingrays that glide right up to swimmers in ankle-deep, crystal-clear water. It is the highlight of most Bimini day trips and one of the most photographed sandbars in the northern Bahamas.
La SS Sapona è una nave da carico con scafo in cemento incagliata in acqua bassa a sud di Bimini dopo un uragano del 1926. Il relitto emerge in parte dalla superficie, il che ne fa uno snorkeling facile e spettacolare per tutti i livelli. Banchi di pesci si rifugiano nello scafo, e l'acqua limpida e bassa attorno ne fa uno dei migliori siti di snorkeling per principianti delle Bahamas.
Al largo della costa nord-occidentale di North Bimini si trova la Bimini Road, una fila lunga circa 800 metri di enormi blocchi rettangolari di calcare adagiati a circa 4,5 metri di profondità. La formazione ha alimentato decenni di leggende e ipotesi, e resta un sito di snorkeling e immersioni affascinante e accessibile. L'acqua limpida e bassa rende visibile la geometria dei blocchi già dalla superficie.
Radio Beach on North Bimini is a long, calm stretch of soft white sand and shallow turquoise water on the western shore. It is the classic Bimini swim and relaxation beach, easy to reach from the anchorage and ideal for a beach afternoon between snorkel stops. The gentle shallows make it a favorite for families on a Bimini day trip.
South Bimini è più tranquilla della vicina isola a nord, con ancoraggi protetti, acqua più calma e la stazione di ricerca Bimini Sharklab sulla riva. Il canale tra North e South Bimini offre acque riparate per nuotare e fare paddleboard, e i bassi fondali meridionali sono il punto di partenza verso Gun Cay e i sandbar di Cat Cay.

BIMINI YACHT CHARTER
Crown Yachts runs private, crewed Bimini charters from Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Every booking is fully private, fully crewed, and managed from first inquiry to the anchorage off North Bimini.

A Bimini yacht rental is the easiest way into the Bahamas from South Florida. The island sits only 50 miles east of Miami and Fort Lauderdale, a 2 to 3-hour run across the Gulf Stream, so the crossing fits inside a single day. Crown Yachts operates private yachts con l'autonomia e la velocità adatte alla traversata, con partenza da Miami Beach Marina or the nearest marina to your group. See the shortest route on the Miami to Bimini page.
A Bimini boat charter as a day trip departs Florida in the morning and anchors at Honeymoon Harbour off Gun Cay, where friendly southern stingrays glide across the shallow sandbar. See the Bimini stingray tour for the full experience. From there the day can add the SS Sapona shipwreck snorkel, a swim at Radio Beach, and time on the North Bimini flats before the evening return. Multi-day charters include full provisioning, a chef privato, and open bar service caricati prima della partenza.


Entering the Bahamas by private vessel requires a cruising permit, vessel documentation, and customs clearance at the port of entry. On every Crown Yachts Bimini charter the captain handles all of it. Passengers carry only a valid US passport with at least six months of validity. The captain coordinates the arrival, presents the documentation, and manages the return clearance, so nothing about the international crossing falls to you. An island snorkeling charter or a fishing charter possono dare forma a tutta la giornata sull'acqua.
Because the crossing to Bimini is short, it is the natural first stop on a longer Bahamas itinerary. A multi-day charter can continue from Bimini to Cat Cay, the Berry Islands, Nassau, and on to the Exumas. For a milestone birthday, an anniversary, or simply a first taste of the islands, Crown Yachts coordinates the vessel, the route, the provisioning, and the crew service at every stop. See the full range of crossings on the Bahamas charters hub.
