44 years ago, I spent 16 days as a 12 year old on my grandpas boat traveling from Lighthouse Point, FL to the Bahamas. We went to Bimini, Grand Bahama and a small really cool island named Walkers Cay. Best summer ever. Fishing and snorkeling every day
Sounds amazing. If only we had the technology back bAck then so you could of captured videos and photos
Sounds like paradise
U 56 years old?
@@HeritageProdz_ I must say, you are really good at math
Haven’t been since? Lol what happened
We love you all!! Your continued support, likes, comments are what keep us going thank you!!!
I don't know why anybody would ever throwback Triggerfish they really do taste great
First rule about barbecuing, you never talk about barbecuing. JK. Never use briquettes always use lump charcoal and never use lighter fluid always use a Chimney Starter. I found Nails metal rubber tires in barbecue briquettes. And your fish won't taste like kerosene if use a Chimney Starter. I think I found out why you guys always pan fry your fish. Get yourself a top end pellet smoker/ Grill. You will not be disappointed with how well a pellet smoker does everything. You can fry bake Grill smoke you name it it can do it and it all adds the Smoky flavor to everything you do. And they're automatic and Bluetooth nowadays. This is my favorite TH-cam channel so start making two videos a week and make them longer.
@@subymtdan6137 thanks for the tips 🤙🏼 it was a whiskey taste lighter fluid if that counts for anything LOL
There's nobody better at capturing the beauty of the ocean and sea life. Another great episode. Thanks for all that you put into this and share with us!
You’re very welcome Mark! Thank you so much.
this is not even a youtube video it is actually a 17 min of sweet movie brother
one of the best quality video i watched on youtube so far
i am new to your channel but if there is a beautiful way to live in this world you two are killing it
this is what you call living your dreams man i love it
Thanks so much for the kind words & support!
That “alone” feeling you get whenever you cross the Gulfstream, or (for us in the Northern Gulf) do an overnighter at the floating rigs 120 miles from the nearest land, is hard to describe. It’s amazing, awesome, a little bit spooky, & exciting, all at once.
Long offshore trips aboard a center console are just a load of fun!
THAT'S GOTTA BE HEAVEN
You two are living a dream... thanks for bringing us along!
Your production is going off the charts! THIS WAS KILLER! The drone shots were incredible!
Thank you Cade!
Awesome video clay and steph. Thank you for capturing the beauty of one of the gems of an island in my country and explaining the process for others who may want to come across by boat. Blessings 🇧🇸♥️
This channel is so underrated. The BEST camera work and editing. Vicariously living through you guys here in Texas!
Thanks so much Anthony!
The water is so beautiful and clear there it's like your boat is floating in air. Love your videos and safe travels to you all.
The shot ended up coming out really cool! Thanks Jamie 🤙🏼
@@LifeByTheBow absolutely you all rock!
I hardly EVER post comments on TH-cam videos however I just needed to tell you that your editing, videography, media work etc. is by far some of the best I've seen. I know for sure if you keep at it your channel is going grow and probably be one of the best in this category. Wish you much success, fyi im based out of Fort Lauderdale I have a 368 Commander and have been wanting to make the trip over to the Bahamas for some time now. Maybe we could get together one day and head over!
I've crossed in a 18' boat and just a compass you will not have a problem in that beast.
Thanks for taking the time to let us know my friend! Crossing together would be cool always great to have a buddy boat 👍🏼
@@SouthFLMudClub You are the man I have a 20ft saltwater CC boat I would love to cross with ya on my boat in the near future, these guys are too big time for me I don't want to embarrass myself 🤣
@@cd1538 yeah I wouldn't cross with a compass again. LoL gps chartplotters are cheap now and take you spot on..
Clay, I loved it all...GREAT PRODUCTION!! And I must say.. Clay, I appreciate so much how you treat and communicate so beautifully and warmly with Stephanie.
What a life well lived!!! Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing and letting us live vicariously through you 😆
Love the video! Another way to get to Bimini is to fly over on a seaplane through Tropic Ocean Airways. You land in the channel and dock right by the resort at customs . Customs is quick and easy and they always have a tram ready to take you from customs to the resort. I’m a pilot for them, if you got any questions about it just ask!
Not a bad gig Chris. I flew for a major.
Sending you guys love from The Bahamas, appreciate the promotion of our country and all we have to offer. Great visuals and love the boat guys can't wait to live like you guys ahah.
It’s a shame your government is so brutal with the poor cubans that arrives to your coasts in rafts trying to escape from a tyranny. Your government is all about money from us the americans. I have the feeling the girl in this video is cuban.
I am from Eleuthera, Bahamas and live in Boca Raton, FL. It was so great to see this. Thank you for living my country. Anyone need a mate...i am available. Continue to enjoy life on the waters.
Hey guys. Great video. One of the things you didn't mention when checking in was what do they require now to bring in a drone? I know some of the other travelers were experiencing some difficulties bring them into the Bahamas in the recent past.
Thanks for letting us come along on your adventures.
I have to say I really enjoy how your videography has evolved over time. Really good job.
Happy to see you back my idol. Nice video as always. Thank you very much ❤
Works been stressing me out. Blood pressure high, and I’m fighting the idea of bp meds. This morning while watching your vids, my wife and a RN slipped a Bp cuff on me and it was reading normal. 😅 You all are the best medicine. I might have to convince my wife to move to the keys for my health😉 beautiful water, beautiful scenery, beautiful folks.

Been waiting on this one for a while! These FL to Bahamas videos are the best!
Thanks for visiting my home! Glad you enjoyed
Wow!!! Another great episode!
Its smoky over here on the West coast so its refreshing to see those blue waters and clear skies.
I just find so much joy listening to both of you talk about boating in a way that is not about yourself but about the viewers. I also like the Christian values that you have even when it's not outwardly expressed. Clay reminds me of some of my good friends with a lot of knowledge about a sport and lifestyle that he knows and wants to share. Every time I watch these videos I imagine myself there enjoying the Florida keys and fishing. Cheers..
Did I miss it or did you not mention how long the boat ride is each direction & your speed? Thanks! Looks amazing. I no longer travel by air & I was thinking about visiting the islands again, I have unsettled biz with a school of jellyfish.
He said they were go at 35mph. 100 mile trip so 3 hours.
You two just made me happy. You guys are awesome. Thanks for making the video!! Such nice people.
I really wish you two would post more videos! Y’all have some of the best content on here 🤙! Great job
What an amazing video!
I would have thought you guys have 10 mil subscribers!
Thanks for documenting everything so thoroughly. Cheers.
Hey you two.... thanks! Another fantastic trip that has me amped up to get back to the Keys( the perfect launch spot to the Bahamas). Water looked amazing... and what a super spot to hang up the Spurs’ at night. This trip had it all and you shared it wonderfully as always. Be well!
Thank you Lance!
This is the most amazing Channel we get a lot of honesty, and all the technical details and the nitty gritty that you don't usually get in other videos
Saw you guys yesterday Monday the 16th at the island humps!! It was so cool to see you guys in action. Wish I stopped and said hi but I had a few friends and we were trolling for tuna. Hope you guys did great!!
Awesome video as always. Making visually stunning footage really puts you two head and shoulders above most other creators.
Thanks Jim! We appreciate the kind words. We really try and capture all the beauty each place has to offer. I appreciate you noticing the work we put into it.
Well, I must say, that looks ridiculous!!
I don’t even know what to say--
Just gorgeous!
Nice job you two.
Thanks so much!
Thank you for visiting our beautiful islands! We will leave the welcome mat out for you! 💕🇧🇸😊Can't wait to welcome you back home! It's always better in the Bahamas!😙👍242😎🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
That looks like an amazing trip and I felt like we got to come along with you. Love you both!! ❤️❤️
Thanks so much for your continued support David 👍🏼 Time for another boat ride soon!
Wow @ 11:10 the color of the fish along with the background of the blue water is just amazing!
1st Comment! Amazing photography. Your content and video quality continues to get better and better. Love watching your adventures. Also, I've never seen a tilefish change colors like that.
We use to cruise to Bimini from Coral Gables in the 70’s. Bimini still had the Hemingway hotel and nightclub. The Red Lion restaurant, Big Game Club and the Blue Waters Hotel on the west side all great places to stay in. Great times.
Man I really wish you two would post more videos! Y’all have some of the best content on here 🤙
I love your camera work as well as your narration. thank you for letting us experience this with you.
Living the the dream Clay and Stephanie!!! Love the positive vibes!!❤❤❤
wow i just started boating this year and have fallen in love with it. i always joke that one day ill make the run from florida to bimini. thanks for breaking it down in a super relatable and simple way.....makes the dream seem more attainable!!
No problem my friend thanks for the support!!
The landscape and water is gorgeous. A lot of unanswered questions for me though. What is the minimal sized vessel that should make this crossing? How much do they cost? How much did you use/spend on fuel? Exactly where did you depart from and exactly where did you arrive? How long did it take? Granted there are variables to consider. I too would like to know about any regulations regarding drones....in the Bahamas. An otherwise enjoyable video.
Believe it or not, I know a guy that swam from Miami to Bimini, talk about taking risks..
@@maxjulien188 That’s wild
Well made video. Appreciate the way you captured the water, wildlife and Bahamas.
One piece of advice..I wouldn't advocate leaving the helm completely at 30 knots in a smaller boat. 3 of us almost went for the big swim when an autopilot failed 40 miles off NJ and it hard over-ed both engines years ago. The thought of watching that boat just circle us would've been a darwin moment. Hope trip was good
We saw a guy this summer get thrown from his boat (17 whaler Montauk). It literally circle for hrs around and around. Finally the state rangers threw ropes into the props then jumped on it to stop it just before sundown. Scary for sure

That thumbnail has to be one of the best pictures look at the water is that even real and with the boat it looks so nice the boats color helps omg it looks so so dreamy
Thanks Armando! It was an amazing experience.
Keep up the great work love your videos 😇
Very nice. And very well.done documentary. Unfortunately the closest chance I will have in doing that is to hit the lottery. By the way beautiful boat.
One of y’all’s best vids! Thanks for bringing us along. Looks like so much fun
Sapona shipwreck dive was definitely the highlight of the vid. It is indeed so much more than a shipwreck. 😊
Thank you so much for watching!
awesome job guys!
Thank you!
Love too see my home from the eyes of others 😍 glad you guys love it here 🇧🇸
Check out the exumas next time I sure you all would love it there just as beautiful
If you guys come more further south for deep dropping you can catch coolers full of red snappers
What incredible water! Hard to believe water can get better than the Keys and then this shows up. Just beautiful and another awesome video!
This made my time on the stair master slightly less miserable. Great video guys! About how long does the crossing take y’all?
100 miles at 35 mph that sounds like about 3 hours to me
I too sailed from the Keys to Bimini in a 42' Morgan sail boat, bars tender....
It was the first time I sailed and I will never forget that sail.

Quick question when you trimmed down would that work on a smaller boat like a 23ft or is that just for largers boats
Ya I want to know this too
I have trim tabs on my 15 foot skiff, anytime I'm on plane I keep my tabs down it helps with stability cutting thru the waves better.
Yes
You should use trim tabs on any size boat for a better ride 👍🏼 no boat is too big or small for trim tabs.

Just happen to stumble along this video and 1st time ever seeing your channel but now I'm a new subscriber. Not to sound cliche but you two are truly living the dream.
It's about 55 miles not 100
It is easily 100nm from Islamorada to Bimini. 55nm is the distance from the mainland US, from around north Miami.
They live in the Keys bro
From the bahamas and just saying, great job with the step by step instructions & tips.. WE appreciate it!
How long did it take?
3 hours 👍🏼
Hi Clay and Stephanie, we love your videos you two kids are awesome we have been watching your videos for two weeks now my wife and I the videos are great we love all the beautiful fish and you two are great swimmers from watching your videos that's how I found your shirts you done a great job designing the shirts P.S. I'm going to buy more shirts stay safe. And have a great life together
I can't wait to make this trip. I love Florida.
Me too i am coming in April!!
I just came off the Carnival Magic and Bimini was breathtakingly beautiful.
It’s fortunate to do that crossing 3 yrs ago in a friends boat from Miami for his 55th b-day. I snorkeled around that same wreck, swam with the rays, Awesome. Weird when we were there that resort was shuttered. We never found out why.
The amount of cinematography in this video is incredible. So much work. Good one. 🙂. Inspiration for me. Thanks.
Beautiful video… says you leave your home port at 6.45am but doesn’t mention when you arrive and how long was the crossing…. Could you tell us how long the first leg to Bimini took?
All your videos are amazing. Good to see this experience. Thank you for sharing with us.
Makes me want to leave immediately for the Keys. Great job and a lot of great information.
I love u guys.... u show the coolest places, best drone view. You catch fish AND cook it w recipe! I love it. Keep it going guys ! 👍🙏🎣
One of the best videos ever seen after a long time on TH-cam
Your content creation is next level
I just fell I’m seeing everything personally
Y’all are life goals that is for sure !!! Love the water and being on the water!!
This is probably your best video yet. Phenomenal in every way.
Editing is incredible. First time watching was impressed with content and quality. Excellent work
Hello Life by the Bow. This is Cathy. I am glad that is the fun boat ride especially in the ocean water somewhere at the ocean beach.
Hey Cathy, yes thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for watching.
You are welcome. By the way the best temperature for the ocean water is exactly 77 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit at the ocean beach and the same way with the best temperature for the swimming pool water which both have bacteria and germs.
Can't say enough about this production!! Thoroughly enjoyed it
Thank you Bob, Just Me, my wife and a camera!
One of the nicest things about living in Palm Beach County is that It’s only about 50 miles to the Bahamas from here We usually make the crossing with two or three other boats
Hi guys, just subscribed! If u ever hear a need by other subscribers, I would love to hear more little steps of crossing to Bahamas such as what you bring with you, safety stuff, emergency gear, would love to see how you actually plot your crossing course, and any others? I think my biggest fear would be running aground??!!! Heard a lot of bad stories, so any great info like that I know I would appreciate! Thanks and keep up the great videos!
This channel is awesome. You guys inspire everybody and are very uplifting to watch
If there was a beauty contest on you tube, Stephanie would win! Reason: She has all the goods!
We did this crossing 2 summers ago. Great place to stay. Can’t wait to go back.
"I am the master / captain of the boat" lolz these videos are getting super nice and detailed been watching off the big TV but had to come comment after this one for sure. Just Amazing!
You guys are great, I enjoy your videos so much. I have passed you along to friends who also enjoy. Please keep it up.
Awesome, thank you!
You just made me want to plan my next trip straight to the Bahamas.
Beautiful place man, crazy thing is its so many different islands with so many different vibes!
Nice work to you guys - really appreciate the positive vibes and information.
Awesome video guy and gal. I live in Nassau, Bahamas, and have never been to Bimini or a majority of the Islands in the Bahamas. I really need to start living.
Really enjoyed your video! It is so great you two can enjoy such an adventure and marvelous experience while you are young,!
Bob
WOW! Gorgeous shots captured. And we’ll done on those moving boat shots while clipping along at a good pace. I can appreciate how tricky those shots can be! Nailed this video…excellent job guys! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for sharing! You have just explained my dream life in one video. Booking my trip now!
Thanks so much for watching!
Headed there next month, super excited!! This video was worth it for the drone footage alone!
Wow! This was a superb video! It made me want to hop in the boat and head over there right now! If the folks in charge of Bahamian/Bimini tourism haven't called you to offer a boatload of money to partner with you on an advertising campaign, they should. Excellent work and a fun viewing!
Awesome video- trip! I wanna do it soo bad! Thanks for sharing this great adventure!
Love your videos. It gives me a glimpse of hope one day my wife and I can do that too.
You can do it thanks is much!
You guys are really amazing. Thanks for sharing all the videos. Truly Inspiring! Greetings from Singapore! 👋
Great content… I love how you go into history and culture aspects, the story behind the shipwreck.
Thank you!
Found your channel today and subscribed. I love your content. 🇯🇲 Bless!
This video was amazing! I've only been to Nassau, but definitely need to do a trip to Bimini.
We are headed to Bahamas this winter, staying at the Four Seasons, thanks for the preview!!

Your camera and drone videography have become the stuff of legend. For a brief moment, I was there. Thank you both! Take care, God speed. v/r, David
