Bimini sits just 50 miles off the Florida coast, making it one of the most accessible Bahamian destinations for a motor yacht charter. The crossing from Miami or Fort Lauderdale takes as little as three hours at cruising speed, and the reward is immediate: brilliant turquoise shallows, powder-white sand and waters that support both serious sport fishing and idle afternoon snorkelling. A motor yacht is the natural choice here, giving you the range and pace to explore North Bimini, South Bimini, Bimini Bay and the offshore flats in a single day.
The charter fleet available for Bimini spans more than 160 motor yachts, from slick sport cruisers in the 25-metre range to full-displacement superyachts above 50 metres. Each vessel carries a professional crew and comes fully equipped for the Bahamas: tenders, jet skis, snorkelling gear and, on the larger boats, a beach club or swim platform that turns any sheltered anchorage into a private water park.
Weekly rates for motor yachts in Bimini typically range from around 40,000 euros for a well-appointed mid-size yacht to 350,000 euros or more for a flagship superyacht. The advance provisioning allowance, covering fuel, food, berthing and beverages, adds roughly 30 percent on top. Peak season runs from late November through April, coinciding with the Bahamian winter and the offshore fishing calendar.
From Bimini, a motor yacht can push south to the Exumas in a day of cruising, stopping at Gun Cay, the Berry Islands and Nassau along the way. North Bimini Resorts World marina and the calm anchorage off Radio Beach make excellent bases, with Alice Town restaurants and dive shops within easy tender reach.
