Day trip to Bahamas from Miami (Fort Lauderdale)

March, 30 2024

Day trip to Bahamas . Although a day trip to the Bahamas may seem like a short trip, it is actually a trip to paradise. Miami, and the southern coast of Florida, are only 60 miles from the Bahama Islands (58,8 miles to Bimini and 96,7 miles to Freeport, in Grand Bahama island). Bustling Miami, teeming with people, traffic jams and high-rise business buildings, is just a stone's throw away from the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean and the tranquility of the Bahamas.

The Bahamas are a group of more than 700 islands, very famous for their warm climate throughout the year, their cuisine based on fish and shellfish and their beautiful beaches, almost virgin, that will take your breath away. The perfect place to make a day trip from Miami.

You can also take a day trip to Freeport, on Grand Bahama Island, another of the magnificent islands in the Bahamas that are close to Miami and Florida. From Fort Lauderdale the fast ferry takes only 3 hours to navigate and, although it may seem like a short time, your total stay on the island is the best and cheapest option to get to know a little bit of the Bahamas. And if you like it you can always come back and stay for several days.

Those who do not know these islands can visit them on a day trip to the Bahamas, by ferry or by plane, and find out if their next trip will be a 2, 3 or 4 day trip to the Bahamas or not.If you are on vacation in Miami (or in the south of the Florida) you can also take advantage of a one-day getaway to the Bahamas. More fun for little money.

Day trip to Bahamas from Miami Lately everyone in Miami wants to go to the Bahamas: some want to take a day trip and get to know Bimini, others - the younger ones - want to celebrate Spring Break on the beaches of Grand Bahama with All Inclusive and couples prefer to relax on the white sand beaches and crystal clear water to celebrate Memorial Day, for example.

Just 2 hours by ferry from Fort Lauderdale (30-45 minute drive from Miami) Bimini is the closest Bahamian island to Florida. To get to Grand Bahama from Miami - Fort Lauderdale it takes 3 hours by ferry. Balearia Caribbean is the shipping company that makes this connection. Because the distance between Miami - Florida and these islands of the Bahamas is so short, it is easy to make a 2, 3, 4 and 5 day trip to the Bahamas and stay in some of the hotels on the islands ( Hilton World Resorts Bimini in Bimini island and Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach All Inclusive hotel , Grand Lucayan Bahamas hotel , Flamingo Bay Hotel & Marina , Grand Lucayan Light House Pointe , Island Seas Resort , Taino Beach Resort hotel , Pelican Bay Resort hotel , Castaways Resort hotel and Bell Channel Inn hotel in Grand Bahama island), some of them even with All Inclusive packages.

We recommend this one day trip to Bimini (Bahamas) or to Grand Bahama island, to all those who live in one of the following cities, or in their vicinity: Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Hialeah, Port St. Luice, Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, Miramar, Coral Springs, West Palm Beach (all Palm Beach, North and South, Royal and Palm Beach Gardens), Pompano Beach, Miami Gardens, Davie, Boca Raton and Sunrise.

Most of the time, the best way for those living near Miami to travel to the Bahams is by ferry or plane. If your vacation destination is Bimini or Grand Bahama, it is better to go by ferry from Fort Lauderdale. It will take between 2 to 3 hours by ferry.

2 day trip to Bahamas

Day trip to Bahamas from Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale is the city where the shipping company Balearia Caribbean has its headquarters and from where the ship Jaume II departs every day for the Bahamas (sometimes to Bimini and other times to Grand Bahama - Freeport).

Remember that if you are going to board the Bimini ferry you have to be at the passenger terminal 3 hours before the scheduled boarding date. Boarding closes one hour before the ferry departure time. After this time Balearia Caribbean will not let you access the ship. We advise you to be in Port Everglade in plenty of time to board the ferry to the Bahamas.

For those of you who live in Fort Lauderdale, or near Fort Lauderdale, an hour's drive from Fort Lauderdale for example, it is very interesting to do this one day trip to the Bahamas, whether it is to Bimini or Freeport (Grand Bahama).

Getting to Fort Lauderdale from many Florida cities will take no more than an hour by car. Miami, Hialeah, Port St. Lucie and West Palm Beach are some big cities that are within a 1-hour drive from Fort Lauderdale. Other cities, such as Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, Miramar or Coral Springs, are located more or less 30 minutes by car from Fort Lauderdale and, therefore, it is very easy to get to the ferry terminal to the Bahamas with your car and enjoy your one day trip to Bahamas.

3 day trip to Bahamas

Bimini day trip . Bimini is the closest Bahamian island off the coast of Florida (USA) and the fastest way to get to the island is by ferry from Fort Lauderdale (30-45 minute drive from Miami). From Fort Lauderdale there are between 2 to 4 departures a week (depending on the month of the year), and the shipping company that does it is Balearia Caribbean. The trip between Fort Lauderdale and Bimini takes two hours and departs from the Port Everglades docks in Fort Lauderdale.

The ferry arrives at the pier in Alice Town (North Bimini) from where you can rent a golf car to explore this small island and go to one of its beautiful beaches, one of its famous beach clubs, where you can spend the day, or at the Hilton at World Resorts Bimini Hotel and Casino where you can also spend the day paying an extra admission.

During the ferry ride you can enjoy an outdoor deck and a cafeteria where you can order hamburgers, soft drinks or hot drinks. Once in Bimini we advise you to enjoy a refreshing seafood salad or grilled fish on the seafront. The lobster salad is also one of those dishes that you should not miss. Bury your feet in the white sand as your senses marvel at the culinary spectacle. Luxury turned into food.

Of course you should not forget a refreshing cocktail where you will notice the Caribbean character of its people. Ask for it with a little spice. Tabasco, lime and salt will give life to your drink.

If you like sea sports you can snorkel, swim with dolphins, kayak and paddle surf. Other sports, such as diving, feeding sharks or jet skiing, are recommended for longer stays in Bimini, from 2 to 5 day trips.

Discover the Hilton at Resorts World Bimini and prepare your next 3 or 4 day trip to the Bahamas. This hotel has panoramic views of the sea and the marina, more than ten restaurants, a casino and a roof pool that will make Instagrammers fall in love.

On a day trip to Bimini you will be between 5 and 6 hours on the island, so we recommend that you simply enjoy one of its beaches, try the local food and plan your next getaway to Bimini to spend your next vacation on the island with one of the ferry plus hotel packages.

4 day trip to Bahamas

5 day trip to Bahamas

ferry or crusie day trip

If you are thinking about which is better, whether to do a ferry one day trip or a cruise one day trip to the Bahamas, we are going to present you the advantages and disadvantages of each of them, in our opinion.

ferry one day trip to bahamas, Pros: It only takes 2 hours from leaving Fort Lauderdale to arriving in Bimini - 3 hours if you do your one day trip to Grand Bahama. Traveling by ferry to the Bahamas makes the most of your time in Bimini (6 hours) or in Grand Bahama (5 hours).

Bahamas Cruise Day Trip, Pros: Cruise ships usually have pools, bars, entertainment. As soon as you leave Miami for the Bahamas, your vacation begins. As a rule, the ferry does not have a swimming pool and has a small cafeteria.

Bahamas Cruise Day Trip: Pros: On cruises you have the option to purchase All Inclusive beverage packages. From the moment you get on the cruise you are entitled to your drinks.

You can take a day trip to the Bahamas by ferry almost every day. Some days to Bimini and other days to Grand Bahama. One day (really one night) cruises have fewer departures and less flexibility in dates. In addition, with the ferry you can travel on a one day trip to the Bahamas all year round, while cruise ships usually do these mini cruises (1 or 2 nights) normally in low season.

As you can see, doing a one day trip to Bimini (or Bahamas) by ferry or on a cruise is very different. In addition to the price, there are other factors that you must take into account when choosing your next vacation in the Bahamas. But most importantly, never give up on the Bahamas vacations, whether you're vacationing at a resort in Bimini (Hilton for example) or cruising in Nassau or Exuma.

Book your one day trip to the Bahamas as soon as possible and get the best prices and offers.

This new regulation is aimed at all people who apply for a Health Visa to travel to the Bahamas or travel between islands within the Bahamas as of next Friday, August 6, 2021.

From this date to:

Entering the Bahamas from other countries:

All fully vaccinated travelers, as well as children ages 2 to 11, will need to obtain a negative COVID-19 test (either a rapid antigen test or a PCR test) taken no more than five (5) days prior to departure/arrival date to the Bahamas.

Unvaccinated travelers 12 years of age and older must obtain a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken no more than 5 days prior to arrival.

All children under the age of 2 are exempt from any testing requirements.

If you want to travel between islands within the Bahamas from the following islands:

Nassau and Paradise Island, Grand Bahama (Freeport), Bimini (Alice Town), Exuma, Abaco, and North and South Eleuthera, including Harbor Island.

Requeriments for Cruise Passengers.

Guests on cruises originating in and returning to the Bahamas must apply for a Bahamas Travel Health Visa and follow the new testing requirements for vaccinated and unvaccinated persons.

Vaccinated people must provide a negative PCR test or rapid antigen test performed no more than five (5) days prior to arrival in the Bahamas islands.

Unvaccinated people must obtain a negative PCR test performed no more than five (5) days prior to the date of arrival in the Bahamas islands.

Bahamas for vaccinated tourists

April 26, 2021

Bahamas for vaccinated tourists from May 1st

Updated on the April 26th, 2021

With the idea of ​​seeking stimuli to reactivate tourism in the Bahamas islands from next May 1st, tourists vaccinated with the 2 doses will be able to travel to the Bahamas without having to present a negative COVID 19 test result.

The Bahamas islands will allow all those people who have received the full doses of immunization, at least two weeks before traveling, to the country to enter the country. Negative PCR with up to 5 days of validity is required for the rest of the travelers.

Prime Minister Hubert Minnis announced at a press conference that: "All that will be medically required to enter the country will be the proof of vaccination and that two weeks have passed since the final dose." This measure wants to activate tourism as soon as possible, on which the Caribbean archipelago largely depends.

The prime minister indicated that anyone who has not been fully vaccinated must provide a negative PCR test taken within five days prior to arrival in the Bahamas. "This measure will greatly enhance our economy and will also help reduce the number of infections. When tourists are fully vaccinated, since they will have received all the doses, they will be able to participate in events in a closed environment where the mask would not be necessary".

This measure has been announced when several cruise lines (Royal Caribbean, Crystal Cruises and Bahamas Paradise Cruise Lines) are going to start sailing in the Bahamas from June and July, this coming summer.

Warning in the United States. On the other hand, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) raised the warning level for the Bahamas this week to the highest level of health risk, the 4.

Fully vaccinated travelers may be at risk of contracting and spreading covid-19 variants, due to the current situation in the Bahamas, so all trips to the archipelago should be avoided," says the updated advice from the CDC. The United States recommends not traveling to 80% of the world's countries.

The Bahamas has reported 10,000 infections and 194 deaths since the beginning of the pandemic, with a population of around 400,000 people. There are currently just over 500 active cases in the nation. Not everyone has been in favor of this decision, although many sectors of the Bahamas, dependent on tourism, want to reactivate their economy as soon as possible.

As of today, April 26th, 2021, less than 4% of the total population of the Bahamas has received the first dose of the vaccine.

Bahamas will allow the arrival of vaccinated tourists

Ferry to Bahamas relaunched

February 02, 2021

Balearia Caribbean will relaunch its ferry service from Florida to the Bahamas on Febraury 2021, departing from Fort Lauderdale port. The South Florida-based company runs ferry services from Fort Lauderdale to Bimini first and from Port Everglades to Freeport (Grand Bahama island).

The company announced last week that the Government of the Bahamas has approved the launch of the fast ferry service between Miami (Fort Lauderdale) and Grand Bahama (Freeport) in the Bahamas. His first departure to Freeport is scheduled for February 11, 2021.

Balearia will be offering initially one sailing service a week, with ferry on Thurdays. At the end of Febraury, another ferry service will be implemented on Sundays. If there is an increase in demand for passenger transport, the shipping company is prepared to increase the number of weekly departures in March and April.

At the same time, Balearia will reopen the ferry route between Florida to Bimini island starting on February 10th, 2021. This route will have, at the moment, a frequency of 3 departures a week, in both directions. The Jaume II ferry will be the ship that does both routes.

Balearia will retake its operations with a host of new health and safety protocols, including mandatory face masks, electronic boarding passes, enforced social distancing and temperature checks prior to boarding, and only 40% occupancy of the total capacity of its ferry.

Other sanitary measures imposed by Balearia are: plexiglass dividers have been placed in the common areas and between all the seats, the ship and the ferry terminals are subjected to a deep and extensive cleaning process before, during and after each crossing.

The company’s ships also undergo “deep and extensive sanitation” before, during and after each sailing, the company said. Balearia says it has been certified by Bureau Veritas with the Global Safe Site Covid-19 certificate, one of the first shipping companies to receive the designation. It should be noted that all travelers to The Bahamas must fill out an electronic travel form and have proof of a negative COVID-19 test that is no more than seven days old, among other requirements.

All passengers boarding from Fort Lauderdale (Florida) to Grand Bahama or Bimini (Bahamas) will have to show a negative PCR test for COVID-19 performed at least 5 days before the trip. Each passenger must also apply for a travel health visa.

NOTE: We recommend that all passengers verify all the necessary travel requirements at the time of their trip, both in and out of the countries they are going to visit, always before starting with the preparations and purchases of their ferry tickets.

To keep up to date and have all the information, safety and travel protocols in the Bahamas, you can visit the websites http://travel.gov.bs (Bahamas) and https://travel.state.gov (United States). The reopening of the shipping routes between Grand Bahama and the United States is expected to increase the number of visitors to Grand Bahama island and help recover the jobs lost due to Covid-19 and mitigate the economic effects of the pandemic.

Ferry to Bahamas Covid 19

April 29, 2021

The government of the Bahamas has announced that it will open its borders to the transport of passengers by ferrys of February 10, 2021 to Bimini island and on February 11, 2021 to Freeport Harbour (Gran Bahama island).

For that, Balearia Caribbean is preparing the safety and hygiene protocols (in its ships and passenger terminals) necessary to offer its customers safe transport, both for people and goods.

The ferry route to Freeport, Grand Bahama, will be opertate once a week (Thurdays) and, if possible, it will be two days a week in February. If passenger demand increases, and sanitary conditions allow it, the frequency on the ferry routes will be increased in March and April 2021.

When booking your trip to The Bahamas Islands, be sure to read, understand and follow these requirements, which are mandatory and required by the government of The Bahamas

As a GENERAL RULE, all travelers who want to visit the Bahamas should apply for a Bahamas Health Travel Visa. This visa can be obtained through the website travel.gov.bs . Also children and babies (regardless of their age) will need their own health visa (although they are not required to take the Covid test due to their age).

VACCINATED PASSENGERS

People who are fully vaccinated (2 doses or 1 dose depending on the vaccine) and who have waited as least the 14 days immunity period will be able to travel to The Bahamas without a negative COVID-19 test result.

Vaccinated passengers must provide, for their entry into the country, proof of vaccination (original card and copy of vaccination card) in addition to the approved Travel Health Visa printed on the day of travel. As we have discussed previously, this is a mandatory requirement of the Bahamian government. If you do not provide the required travel documents, boarding the ferry can be denied by the health authorities.

In case of traveling to Freeport, Grand Bahama Island on a Sunday, you must bring 2 printed copies of the Travel Health Visa and Covid vaccination card plus the original.

UNVACCINATED PASSENGERS

All unvaccinated passengers over 10 years of age must submit a negative RT-PCR COVID-19 test performed no more than 5 days prior to their travel date. (This requirement is not mandatory for children under 10 years old).

At the time of boarding in Fort Lauderdale (Florida) and entering the country, passengers must present printed copies of the negative result of COVID 19 and of the Travel Health approved on the day of the trip. The health authorities of the Bahamas Islands are requesting these two printed reports, both the Travel Health Visa and the result of the COVID-19 RT-PCR test with a negative result. If the passenger does not provide these documents, the health authorities can deny the boarding or entry into the country.

BALEARIA CARIBBEAN'S COVID MEASURES

In order to maximize the safety and tranquility of the passengers on board, and due to the current situation, Balearia Caribbean has taken the following measures against Covid 19:

Before boarding, a member of the Balearia Caribbean staff takes the body temperature of all passengers who are going to make the trip. If the reading of this temperature is higher than 100º Fahrenheit or 37.7º Celsius, the passenger will be denied boarding on the ferry.

While in the ferry terminals and on board the boats throughout the navigation, the use of a mask or face cover is always mandatory for all passengers.

With the safety and hygiene of passengers in mind, Balearia Caribbean has installed additional disinfectant dispensers in all its terminals and on board the ship.

Plexiglass dividers and informational signs have also been placed in different areas throughout the vessel to promote safe distances between passengers and the crew members.

You can contact Balearia Caribbean directly by email ([email protected] or [email protected]) or by phone (866) 699-6988 to resolve any questions you may have.

Miami Bahamas ferry reviews

" Great day out. We bought the excursion to swim with the pigs in the sea. The trip on the ferry was well organized. We left at the scheduled time and arrived at the scheduled time.

In the ship's cafeteria you can buy a little expensive drinks and snacks. When you arrive at the port they explain where to take the bus and the excursion was very fun."

"We lost the whole day. I do not recommend doing the day trip to Gran Bahama. If the time you have to visit the island is delayed, it flies and is lost doing queues. Everything is a waste of time and money.

Next time we will go to Bahamas more days for a longer vacation, at least one week. The destination is ideal if you like the beach, if not it is better that you stay at home."

" For me, this getaway is the best way to spend a day in Bimini. I always wait at the last minute offers to buy the boat tickets to find the best deals. And I'm always very happy to do so. Whenever I have traveled with Balearia Caribbean to Bimini, the trip has gone well. The ship's staff are very friendly and helpful.

The boat is clean and prepared with hygienic measures against Covid 19. Booking the tickets was very easy on their website. With our Balearia frequent travelers discount they send us offers by email that we always appreciate. Sooner rather than later, we will return to Bimini to visit paradise!!"

"We booked "First Class" seating and all we found was cleanliness, comfort and plenty of space to stretch our legs. The ship has two cafeterias, an outdoor area to go out, and premium waiter service. Also on TV they play a movie.

During the journey I was able to have a glass of normal wine, relax and enjoy the excellent views. I think people think it is a cruise ship and this is a ferry. I advise people to relax and think about what they have paid for the tickets.

Top 4 airlines serving from Miami to The Bahamas

The main person that was coordinating everything was a short white/light skin Spanish man and he was very rude. It honestly made me feel like it was everyone’s First day at work. His announcements were very not reasonable and they did not make sense. The stewardess on the flight that made the announcements she didn’t even know what she was talking about she sounded inebriated. There were no snacks or drinks on our flight there wasn’t even much turbulence. This flight was not enjoyable nor was it what a Delta flight should be and just this past week I flew with Delta 3 times.

nothing Delta could do... the person sitting next to me was huge and overflowing into my seat

Crew was great! I need wheelchair assistance and they knew who I was and updated me that my chair was on its way and to just hang tight. There was some turbulence but the captain announced we would be going thru it and he handled the plane well. Landing was soft and his.

Aircraft very cramped. Check-in was great with an agent helping us. Food was almost non-existent. Pre-flight went well once I got the app reloaded on my phone since we don’t fly much anymore.

I like that it got us where we were going. Everything else needed work. It was 1/2 hour late and we took off an hour late. The plane had to be cleaned and the disabled loaded on board before we could take off which took forever and then we sat at the terminal FOREVER before we took off. The ride was so bumpy that they couldn’t serve drinks and snack but to about 1/2 the plane. Seriously we should have flown out of Fort Lauderdale. We probably would’ve gotten home several hours earlier.

Flight was on time, the staff was personable & professional, & the plane arrived on time.

Flight was great. DELTA did a fantastic job! FLL airport was chaotic!

You lost my luggage!!! How frustrating!!! Now they can’t find one of our bags!!!! I really don’t have time for this!!!

Fast boarding and exit. Different snacks other than almonds and sun chips.

The boarding agents appeared to do the minimum customer service. They did not appear to try to find solutions to problems.

great flight. Pilot was communicative, flight attendants were excellent. Really nice experience except my tv didn’t work.

Overall, the flight was better than the flight I took to go to Florida, which had a bunch of problems. The crew is really nice and the plane was new so it had a small problem when we were on the runway, but the flight itself was great. They even made some time back up, which is always a good thing.

at the time for boarding the lady just call Group A and no other goups and everybody from A to F go inside without the right turn,and when we get in theres no more spsce for carry on , the ones that get in at not correct group from the back occupy our space !!!!! a mess !!!!

Everything was good except for deplaning in NY. Took way too long!!

Jet Blue keeps getting iit wrong. 4 hour mechanical delay followed by terrible boarding experience. This is my third horrific jet blue flight in 2024. I am going to try to avoid this loser in the sky

Delayed by almost an hour - I also noticed that all JetBlue flights departing from PBI were delayed yet the weather was perfect.

My experience with JetBlue was fantastic! The service was top-notch, the flight was smooth, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely fly with them again.

The free wi-fi was great. But, the flight delay was not sustainable. It definitely impacted people schedules and JetBlue didn’t do anything to compensate clients for it

Need a 2nd round of water for a 4+ hour flight

I loved the wifi, much better than Delta. Seats were old. and bathrooms dingy.

Horrible people at the gate, they force me to check in my carry on, even thought no one behind me has to do it. I had to get out of the airport in NY to get my bag and go thru security again on my way to Honk Kong. The worst part is the employee threatened me with loosing the flights if don’t comply.

Terrible, oxygen masks were deployed mid-flight. We returned to airport. Took additional 12 hours to get home.

Was flying in premium eco and there were around 5-6 movies I wanted to watch and none of those could I play for some reasons. Not just me we checked w the person sitting next to me. Few of the movies were only playable :( Also that was not great that we couldn't upgrade to business however tried to, many times before the flight :(

Horrible. Flight was delayed and very bumpy. I was super unhappy

The agents at the gate were rude. The stwards were pleasant. The seats were comfortable. The tray table had crumbs on it. A passenger talked constantlt and very loudly for the entire flight annoying many passengers. The stewards did not ask her to speak in a lower voice but my travel partner did.

I grand parents didn’t receive any special treatment they are seniors even i ask for wheelchair

Literally the worst experience ever and I had my service dog with me. Flight was supposed to leave at 1:51 PM but the plane arrived late. They boarded us around 3 PM and kept us on the plane for an hour saying that due to weather conditions in Miami, we could not takeoff yet. After waiting for an hour, they deplaned. And then they will not give us our bags back that we could just leave and schedule for another flight. Every hour they kept updating saying we have to wait another hour without any explanation as to what was going on. Eventually, I went to customer service to change my ticket, but by the time I made it to the front of the line, they started boarding my flight again. And then when we got onto the flight, they said there were two flight attendants That were past their shift. They kept us on the plane for about another 40 minutes until they told us they had no other flight attendance and had to deplane again. Then I gave us hotel vouchers and told us we would be on a flight at 6 AM the next day. At this point it is about 9 PM. I get to the hotel with my dog, who hasn’t been able to go potty for about eight hours. When I arrived at the hotel, I got a text alert saying my flight has been canceled at 6 AM and they moved past to 5 AM, however the hotel shuttle doesn’t leave early enough to make it to the airport for 5 AM flight. So me and some other passengers got a cab after about three hours of sleep to get back to the airport. This was the worst experience ever.

Flight delayed 3 times due to maintenance (on exact same plane that had just brought us from Boston to Miami). Eventually changed to a different plane and gate.

Very, very dirty plane and I fly around one time a month. This plane looked like it wasn’t cleaned in a long time. Otherwise, good flight.

One of the worst flights I have ever taken Delayed over an hour without communication from the crew; very scary Entertainment not working Crew NASTY cabin cold

Going the plane was late and then Bahamas Air chartered another plane to take the passengers to San Salvador.

4 hour delay Noisy passengers Tight seats Missed connecting flight in Ft. Lauderdale

We were scheduled to travel at 12pm. The flight got delayed with no updates until 11:30am. They advised that we will receive an update at 1pm. However, the flight was then delayed until 6pm with no clear indication as to if that was the departure time. It was NOT! They decided to combine two of their scheduled flights into one due to the smaller number of passengers. If you do not wish to be inconvenienced, “STAY AWAY FROM THIS AIRLINE”!!!!!!They do have a track record of this!

Flight was delayed more than 2 hours in departure. Boarding was lengthy and passengers were very rude. I waited on the plane for almost an hour once boarded and it was very hot. The passenger next to me was clearly I’ll: coughing and sneezing the entire flight.

Very courteous staff at the gate and excellent assistance with my needs as a handicapped person on board. The flight itself was uncomfortable, with tight seating and seats they don’t recline, so be aware. The aircraft itself is old and worn, and it shook a lot and made a lot of noise, especially upon takeoff and at landing. But, hey it’s a short flight and it got me back home to Florida safely, so….

I feel that I was scammed by BahamasAir. Both on flights 202 and 207, to and from Nassau - Fort Lauderdale June 2, June 6. I paid for 2 full size bags and selected seats. On both flights they told me I had not paid for luggage or seats. I was charged $100 extra each way without seat assignment. BahamasAir does not participate in TSA Pre Check. Even if you have it you cannot use it. Instead endure long lines because BahamasAir will not pay their share of PreCheck.

Booked thru you. Paid and was supposed to have 1 checked bag and seat 3 C; with the same for my wife sitting on the opposite side of the aisle in 3D. At airport we had to pay $ 25 each for 1 bag each.. we’d were given seats inn row 17

Boarding process was smooth and easy. The crew was friendly and communicable and transparent about the delay at the landing destination.

Flight was delayed 7hours due to multiple planes having mechanical issues.

Nothing to add! I will definately use your website again. Thank you

Take the ferry to Blue Lagoon Island and relax under a palm tree, listening to the waves. From Bimini, swim among reef sharks or learn how conch is harvested.

Snorkel with reef sharks or hand-feed stingrays at Honeymoon Harbor. Join a snorkeling adventure to admire the vibrant corals and schools of fish that have colonized a shipwreck before relaxing with an ice-cold rum punch. Feeling creative?

A day trip to the Bahamas

Sailing out to Grand Bahama is the ultimate daycation trip. Here’s why: 

Enjoy the cruise out to Grand Bahama from Florida. 

If you book a tour with  Gray Line Miami , you’ll be picked up at your hotel and driven to Port Everglades at Fort Lauderdale. From here, your ferry out to Grand Bahama will set sail. It’s a four-hour trip, during which you can relax and enjoy the crossing. The sail will be smooth and comfortable, and you can relax in the on board bar, or spend time in the shops. 

  It’s a day trip to a tropical paradise. 

Grand Bahama is the northern most island in the Bahamas. It’s recognisable from its beautiful beaches, turquoise waters, reef lined coves, national parks and wildlife. It really is a stunning place to see. 

Experience beautiful Gold Rock Beach.

One of the most beautiful beaches to look out for is Gold Rock Beach. It’s one of the most picturesque in the Caribbean. If you are visiting as a day-tripper, then it’s one of the best to see – you’ll experience the typical soft sand and beautiful bright blue water of the Bahamas. The memory of it will stay with you for a long time.

Discover the colourful culture and history of the Bahamas & the Caribbean. 

Grand Bahama is naturally beautiful, and it’s also culturally rich, too. You’ll be able to see the island’s arts – from paintings in the galleries to the traditional straw works at the local market places. You’ll no doubt hear the Rake & Scrape style music when you’re on the island, which adds to the atmosphere of your visit.

  Shop! 

You can indulge your shopping habit at Port Lucaya – a fine selection of shops, boutiques, bars and restaurants. Shopping in the Bahamas is Duty Free on some products so there is some really good buys. There are also good quality authentic arts and crafts for sale here also. 

Enjoy the glamour and luxury of  Grand Lucayan Resort.

You may just choose to check in to the Grand Lucayan Resort when you arrive on Grand Bahama and who could blame you. It has it all – bar, restaurant, fabulous food, spa, access to the beach and golf.

6 Best Boat Trips From Miami To Bahamas

Whether you are on a vacation to Miami, or simply looking for a new activity, there is nothing as striking as a trip to the Bahamas. Private boats, cruises, and ferries all make regular trips from the ports of Miami to the nearby islands of the Bahamas giving you plenty of options to choose from when starting your Bahamas excursion.

A day cruise to one of these islands is a great option as a day trip from Miami. This popular destination is the perfect place to experience crystal clear waters and beautiful beaches on the tropical islands, and it’s all just a boat ride away.

The easiest islands to visit from Miami are Bimini, Freeport, and Nassau. Every trip has a different length, but you probably will not spend more than 3 hours getting to these islands. The most affordable options are the ferries to these islands, which cost about $250 per person.

There are several factors to consider when selecting the right boat trip for you. But we have compiled the best boat trips and ferries from Miami to the Bahamas. So, no matter what you pick, you are sure to have an unforgettable experience!

Top Boat Experiences From Miami To Bahamas

Check Availability: Bimini Day Cruise From Fort Lauderdale With Round-Trip Miami Transfer

1. Ferry to Bimini

This ferry from Miami to Bimini is at the top of our list, as it is affordable, quick, and accessible to everyone! This Bimini ferry actually leaves from Fort Lauderdale, but it is not a far drive from Miami for the amazing deal. The Bimini islands are 60 miles from the coast of Florida and takes about 2 hours to reach.

The boat itself is quite large, giving you plenty of space to walk around the ship and enjoy the trip! They have a full bar on board as well as a shop to spend some extra time in. After the 2-hour trip, you will receive a day pass to a Hilton at Resorts World Bimini!

At this resort, you will be able to swim, enjoy the beaches, gamble at the casino, and receive excellent meals at the restaurants on site. This day pass makes it very easy for you to relax and not have to plan your day in the Bahamas! Of course, there is no requirement to use this day pass but it is always available if you want it.

The ticket for this ferry is $300+ per person depending on the day. The best part about this ferry is you do not need to return to Florida on the same day! You are able to stay on the island for a week before using the return ticket back to the states. It is a great price with incredible flexibility, making it perfect for vacations and day trips alike!

2. Ferry to Freeport, Grand Bahama

The city of Freeport in Grand Bahama island is another one of the most popular islands to visit off the coast of Miami. The island offers all the water activities you could hope for, as well as diverse flea markets full of items and food to try. This ferry to Freeport also leaves from Fort Lauderdale, and is one of the cheapest trips on this list!

This day trip takes you from Fort Lauderdale to Freeport. It’s just under 100 miles and about a 2.5-hour ferry ride. At $230 per person, you get all the fun of being in two different places at once without having to worry about getting your travel expenses all lined up ahead of time. This ferry also keeps you from incurring any extra costs while on vacation while still being able to enjoy the trip!

This trip also offers some amazing scenery – both during the drive there and while you’re visiting Freeport itself. The clear blue waters will make your heart race as you take in views that can only be seen from sea level. Meanwhile, the tropical flora and fauna will amaze everyone who sees it for the first time (or second time!).

3. Bahamas Fast Ferry

If you’re looking for a fun and relaxing vacation, the Bahamas Fast Ferry is one of the best options out there. This ferry leaves regularly from Fort Lauderdale and offers trips to Bimini and Freeport. It is very easy to make a reservation online and you can even book trips the day of!

This ferry is about 170ft long and can carry 600 passengers. So, there are plenty of areas to walk around, grab a drink, and enjoy the sea. It also has a snack bar on board, so you can relax with a drink while you enjoy the ride.

Prices start at $250 per person for an ocean voyage. You can pay a $50 upgrade that gives your priority boarding and a free meal on board. The ferry takes about two and a half hours, and it runs seven days a week. This is a very reliable service, so it is perfect if you would like to take an impromptu Bahama trip!

4. Ferry to the Bahamas

This Ferry to the Bahamas is definitely a unique and interesting experience. It works on a loop system, stopping in both Nassau and Freeport during the trip. Because it is a long-form trip, the total time it runs is 8 hours, but it will not take longer than 3 hours to reach your destination.

This boat does not run daily but usually operates on Wednesdays and Saturdays around noon. The ferry has a full bar on board too, so you can relax with a drink while you enjoy the ride. As long as the weather does not interfere, it is a nice and peaceful trip!

The price is usually $150 per person, which is the cheapest you can find. Tickets book out well in advance, so this is not a very accessible option to get to the Bahamas. However, if you’re a great planner and looking to visit the Bahamas on a budget, this may be the trip for you!

5. Grey Line Miami Day Trips

Next, there is the Grey Line boat trip, which like all the others so far leaves from Fort Lauderdale and delivers you to either Bimini or Freeport. Each trip will take about 2 hours to reach the islands. These 600-passenger boats will give you an easy ride to your Bahama adventure.

Grey Line is a famous cruise line, that offers many different trips to the nearby Bahamas islands. They run regularly and do not book out too far in advance. You can also book tickets in groups of 4, making it perfect for small families or friend groups. In addition to this, they are also wheelchair accessible!

Each ticket is about $200 each, but you can add to the price if you would like to arrange hotel transfers or buy a day pass to the Hilton Bimini Resort! You can choose a premium ticket which allows you more perks on the boat. Plus, it is very easy to book these tickets online, making a stress-free travel day!

 6. Private Bimini Boat Trip

This private plane and boat trip to Bimini is for lovers of luxury and fantastical excursions. It is a 6-hour day trip that begins at the Miami Executive Airport with a short flight to the island. From there you will spend the day at all the famous spots around this island. Ideal for groups or large families, you can bring up to 9 people with you on this Caribbean boat tour.

The island of Bimini is just 50 miles off the coast of Miami and is known for its crystal-clear waters, white-sand beaches, and stunning coral reefs. The trip begins with a short cruise to the island, before visiting the ‘Fountain of Youth’. This famous landmark was sought out by the famous explorer Ponce de Leon.

Then you will go on a snorkeling tour around the old shipwreck of the S.S. Sapona. Here you will be able to explore the natural wildlife and the famous snorkeling ground of this fascinating site. Next, you will get the chance to see some sharks! The tour takes you to the shark arena, where you can swim amongst the pristine coral reefs of this island.

Finally, you will be able to enjoy the white sand beaches of the Bahamas and relax at a secluded beach at stingray island. Then the plane will drop you back of in Miami. This excursion is $6,000 per group, but as we mentioned you can bring up to 9 people on the trip.

We loved every minute of it! Took the day trip from Miami to Eleuthera with my boyfriend and it’s definitely the best day trip I’ve ever done. Turtles, stingrays, sandbars and snorkelling were awesome, every stop was something different, we saw so much it feels kinda surreal now! Huge thanks to Captain Janson and the team for looking after us!

Amazing day trip from Miami! My 10 year old daughter and I took a day trip to Eleuthera and it was a trip of a lifetime! The ride to the Ft Lauderdale airport was easy from South Beach. The hospitality was great! We had a smaller group on the trip and were able to agree upon which activities we wanted to stay at longer. Our favorites were the snorkeling and the sandbar. Swinging or standing in the middle of the ocean on a sandbar with nothing else around is MAGIC! I would highly recommend this. The people who manage the trip are excellent hosts.
