Ferries to Bimini

The Bimini ferry port is in the Bahamas. The only scheduled connection from here runs to Fort Lauderdale in Florida — that is, from one country to another. Up to 2 departures a day are listed, and the crossing takes around 2 hours. The route is served by Balearia.

Getting there and the terminal

On the American side, ships depart from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale; outbound and return sailings are offered exclusively from there. For the return leg, that means anyone booking from Bimini comes back to the same quay.

The shipping company doesn't state exactly where the ferry docks on Bimini or when check-in closes on its public pages. On the island itself you get around by golf cart or bicycle; the large resort on site rents out both at reception and runs a free tram shuttle for its guests around the grounds. And because you're crossing an international border, a valid passport belongs in your hand luggage. Allow time at both ends for entry formalities.
