Bimini sits on the edge of the Gulf Stream — blue marlin, sailfish, tuna, and wahoo run just minutes from the dock, making it one of the most productive big game fisheries in the Atlantic.
Bonefish flats
The shallow flats on North and South Bimini are among the most productive in the Bahamas — wade fishing or poled skiff, it's world-class bonefishing within sight of Miami.
Hemingway country
Bimini is where Ernest Hemingway fished, wrote, and set parts of Islands in the Stream. The tradition of serious big game angling here runs over a century deep.
Closest Bahamas to the US
A 20-minute flight or 2-hour ferry from Miami makes Bimini the easiest Bahamas destination for US visitors — a full day of fishing without losing a day to travel.
Bimini is a small island district on the western edge of the Bahamas — just 50 miles east of Miami. The island chain consists of North Bimini (where Alice Town, the main settlement and marina, is located) and South Bimini, separated by a narrow channel. Despite its small size, Bimini has an outsized reputation in the fishing world, earned over more than a century of big game angling.
The Gulf Stream flows just offshore, carrying warm, blue water and pelagic fish within reach of any charter boat. The western flats — stretching into the shallow waters of the Great Bahama Bank — provide exceptional bonefishing in waters that few anglers have ever stood on.
Every listing on Charted Waters includes live tide predictions and a hurricane refund policy. Book direct with Bimini captains who have fished these waters their entire lives.
