Fort Lauderdale port is located on the south east coast of the Florida peninsula. Fort Lauderdale ferries arrive and depart from Port Everglades terminal 1. In addition to being one of the worlds most popular cruise ports, Fort Lauderdale serves as a gateway to the Bahamas. Know as the Venice of America, due to its miles of navigable inland waterways, Fort Lauderdale also offers its visitors a wealth of museums, wildlife, natural wonders, dining, entertainment and shopping.
Big game fishers who get their kicks from chasing the planet’s most monstrous sea creatures will know all about the Bimini Islands. The duet of isles on the western fringes of the Bahamas, surrounded on all sides by the deep-blue surf of the North Atlantic Ocean, is widely regarded as one of the best fishing spots in the world, featuring Marlin and Tuna and the nightmarish form of the fanged Barracuda. Yet the islands are not just the domain of anglers hunting for trophies. The tropical archipelago, spread thinly across the districts of North and South Bimini, is also defined by its breathtaking beauty; every inch covered in emerald-leafed palm trees and luxury holiday villas flanked by long, golden-sand beaches. The coastal shallows are a hotspot for divers and snorkelers too; the coral reefs here teeming with exotic marine life. The island’s port is found on the needlepoint stretch of North Bimini, just a short distance north of Bailey Town. It is little more than a designated section of the beach from which ferries come and go, and as such there are no passenger facilities available. Though there are only a few paved roads in Bimini, all branching away from the Kings and Queen’s highway, the island is no more than 5-miles from tip to tip and most visitors travel around on hired golf carts and bicycles. Just one ferry route currently operates from the dock in North Bimini a few times throughout the week. This route, hosted by FRS Caribbean, sails the short distance west to the city of Miami on the gorgeous coast of Florida.
