Bahamas and Bimini Yacht Day Trips From Miami
You can cross to Bimini and back in a day from Miami by yacht. What the crossing involves, documents you need, and how LIMITLESS YACHTS plans the run.
Bimini sits roughly 50 nautical miles east of Miami, close enough that a fast yacht can cross, spend the afternoon in island water the color of glass, and return the same evening. It is the most accessible piece of the Bahamas from South Florida.
A crossing is a different charter than a bay day. It needs the right vessel, a weather window, and proper documents for every guest. This is a planned trip, not a same-day decision, and the concierge handles the logistics end to end.
For groups that want more than an afternoon, an overnight to Bimini turns the crossing into a two-day escape with dinner ashore and a sunrise departure home. Both formats start with the same checklist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q.Can you really go to the Bahamas and back in one day from Miami?
Yes. Bimini is about 50 nautical miles out, a 2 to 3 hour run each way on a fast yacht, which leaves the afternoon to enjoy the island before heading home.
Q.Do I need a passport?
Yes. A Bahamas crossing is an international trip, so every guest must carry a valid passport for customs clearance.
Q.Is the crossing rough?
It depends on the Gulf Stream. The captain picks a calm weather window and will reschedule if conditions are unsafe or uncomfortable.
Q.What does the crossing cost compared to a bay charter?
A crossing uses a larger vessel and far more fuel, so it is priced above a standard Biscayne Bay day. The concierge quotes it per vessel and date.
Q.Can we stay overnight instead?
Yes. An overnight to Bimini adds dinner ashore and a relaxed return the next day. Ask the concierge for the overnight format.
