Bimini sits fifty miles from Miami, which makes it the closest the Bahamas come to the United States and the reason it has always attracted people leaving somewhere in a hurry. Hemingway fished here, wrote here and brawled here. The islands remain small, low and largely given over to the water.
This route crosses the Gulf Stream, works the fishing cays along the western edge of the bank, and finishes near Nassau. The theme throughout is the sea: sharks, wrecks, marlin and reef, with the sand as an afterthought.
Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain who knows the cove worth the detour. That freedom is the point of chartering. What follows is one considered way to read the western Bahamas; the rest we tailor to you.
