GULFSTREAM DREAM

Cruise to Bimini, Bahamas

For such a tiny isle, Bimini packs a huge adventure punch. Alice Town buzzes with a low-key vibe, while sugary sands lead to scuba diving and snorkeling in bright-blue waters filled with shipwrecks. This is a small-island paradise for sun-seekers and anglers. Here you can check out Bimini Museum exhibits, hike the Bimini Nature Trail, or soak up fresh-from-the-sea Bahamian seafood.

THE REEL DEAL

Bimini is fabled as the big-game fishing capital of The Bahamas, where the Gulf Stream meets The Bahamas Bank. Head out for a day of angling for the chance to catch prized deep-sea species including tuna, wahoo, sailfish, marlin and the smalltooth sawfish, among the world’s rarest fish.
