I would give this trip a 4.5. The ferry check in & ride was smooth. There were plenty of food & drink options & a little gift shop. Seats were comfortable & spacious. The WiFi & a lot of the charging ports didn’t work. Make sure your phone is fully charged before boarding just in case. The excursion staff were funny & courteous. They made sure I mad my way to the transport bus. The bus drivers run a tight schedule so make sure you are at your pick up point on time. One person almost got left on our way back. I will say that driver put in a good effort to locate the passenger. Even called I believe & found out they took taxi! Had us waiting for no reason & we were the last to return to the ferry because of that. Don’t be inconsiderate. Be there on time. The resort was nice. $90 to eat & drink away. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was the lack of enthusiasm from the resort staff to do excursions. After checking in with 2 excursions stations, I was finally pointed to the guy doing water sports. When I got there, he said it was very difficult to paddle boat because it was windy. He did offer to take me snorkeling. Later, I saw the staff taking people staying at the resort sailing. I went back & inquired & was told I have to sign up 1st thing in the morning because now they were booked. Well, we don’t get to the island until 12, so how would I be able to do so? Plus, I went to sign in for activities as soon as I got there. No one mentioned that activity at all. I was bummed. It would be nice if we were made aware of the activities & could schedule with the resort in advance.

This was our first day trip. We were on vacation from Texas. The ride was nice each way. We were given plenty of time to enjoy the Island. I never imagined a day trip to the Bahamas.

Getting soaked while driving the go cart in Bimini, Bahamas. Unfortunately, the only negative was the transportation back to hotel was very late and we had to pay for taxi.

We loved this experience. A day in paradise.
Firstly the transfer was seemless, collected at 6:30am. Straight to the boat. Checked in no issue.
Boat was busy but comfortable.
Arrived around 11:30am to a paradise island. Stunning views and beaches.
We paid extra 40 dollars each for the beach club which I would recommend. There was so many places to sit and was peaceful. The dj was brilliant and we loved the clear blue sea, white sand beach and stunning pools.
Shuttle back was easy. Straight onto the boat. The worst part of the whole day was a needless wait at passport control on our return. But I would 100% do this again.
Like I say the beach club is worth it. What a day. It was like being in a paradise brochure.

It was a beautiful experience for my husband and I. The ride to and from was great and the island was filled with beautiful people and energy.

Despite an early morning to meet the shuttle to the ferry, we were excited. The ferry took off later than scheduled, but this was announced and eventually we were at sea. Unfortunately, the bottom cafeteria was under staffed which led to a 30-40 min wait in line. The rest was smooth sailing. The day in Bimini was fun. I highly recommend renting a golf cart to get around and see the island and meet the nicest people. We were aware the return trip would be at night, but the boat was delayed. Boarding was supposed at 7pm which ended up being 11pm. Understandably delays do happen, but there was no communication short of passengers sharing what they could with each other from what we could hear. Disappointed no apologies, explanation or consolation was given. After clearing customs State side, we had another hour wait in the shuttle waiting for all the passengers. There should be more options especially with the ferry delay. Staying on the positive side, despite the disappointing ending, it was a great excursion. The Bimini crew and the Ferry crew were friendly and professional.

Everything but the water was bad on this trip. Customs was horrible. The island had very few food and transportation options.

Promised was a pickup in Miami near the Bayside Market or Miami Beach (Collins Ave). However, this did not take place without replacement, so that I had to pay the cab to Fort Lauderdale out of my own pocket, for which the customer service has not apologized.
Also, the departure and return times were not correctly specified, whereby I had to look for these on the page of Balaerian Caribbean itself.
The departure times were changed: Departure is now 10 a.m. and return was at 6 p.m. (I had to ask on board).
You can also book the tickets directly on the site of the ferry operator, here is also more flexible so that you can also plan overnight stays, which I would also recommend.
The trip with the ferry and the island itself and the possibilities that offers that is really great.
I enjoyed the almost 6h very much and the island can be explored almost completely in the time (there are golf carts for rent for a fee).
The crossing was manageable with just under 2h, whereby you can also go on deck and marvel at the infinite sea blue.
