In 1982, I graduated from high school, as a graduation present, my oldest brother, who was more like a father to me, paid for all of my diving gear and he and his wife took me to Bimini for diving and fishing. Back then, it was pretty desolate. When we landed, a small plane was off to the side of the runway riddled with bullet holes as a result of the drug trade. As I’ve traveled, not extensively, but to South American countries to fish and dive, that Bimini trip was one of my favorites. I will go back hopefully one day. Cool video, and thanks for letting us come along. ✌🏻
Awesome vid! Haven't made the trip yet but planning on it this year. Vids like this help me make it through the day - thanks for recording and sharing!
Agreed! We watched vids for the longest time and it’s what totally helped build us up! We love to watch others and love to share our experiences. It’s replaced watching regular tv 📺😂
Thanks! My husband is the DJ behind the operation lol… if you’d like to hear more, he publishes his music mixes on SoundCloud. It’s free. soundcloud.app.goo.gl/qzqxYMcCQi66k4h66
We were those people for a long time too! Planned for a year and after our first time we were hooked! Planning on hitting a handful of the islands this coming summer… work our way to the Exumas. You’ll make it happen!
People cross with jet skis. It's all in the weather my friend. On a good day it's totally doable. Although any single engine boats, I'd say consider a buddy boat. In the event that you lost an engine, you're not alone. Best of luck!
I used to do this on a regular basis with a 20ft sea craft with a 115 merc. The 80's was a great time to go there for a weekend and just fish and drink. The fishing clubs back then were just a plain fun time. Not the same anymore. 20ft sea crafts were the norm, a 23ft formula was the flagship.
Depends on what you’re looking for… you can get an entire day and as many sights and adventures you can handle. He had a daily flat rate and you get as much as you want out of it. I think it cost us a few hundred. Highly qualified and tons of explorations. We used Captain Thomas. He’s well known on the island.
People do it on jet skis, but requires lots careful planning, weather planning, some thought for communication, etc. Do it with a buddy boat maybe for 1st time.
That water is absolutely stunning! And I LOVE your guys boat!! I’m actually looking at trading my current boat in for a 320 Vantage! How do u guys like the boat?
Love the boat! Seating is very versatile, love the side dive door for getting in and out of water. It’s the perfect size for travels, fishing and cruising. You’ll love it!
@@TumbelinaAdventures Awesome thank you so much for the info. I have a 31ft formula bow rider right now and I’m just wanting my seating and a more open area and that’s what I love about the Vantage’s layout. Could you possibly do a walkthrough of your guys boat?
I have the 25 outrage absolutely amazing boat offshore I've gotten stuck in some pretty rough Seas 80 miles out. The boat amazes me at the way it handles the Seas and I'm coming from a 31 Bertram and I just wanted something I could trailer. My buddy is looking for the same boat as yours how does it handle in rough Seas offshore? Is it the same hull as the outrage?
Crossing to Bimini has become one of our favorite mini vacations, we went 2 times this year. Great boat, thanks for sharing!!

Thanks for sharing! Crazy how times have changed... yet grateful that there is still so much beauty to be explored :)
This is such an awesome video. I laughed "RIGHT IS LEFT AND LEFT IS RIGHT" Loll. Love the sound track to your videos. Stay blessed.
Aw thanks! Yes the golf cart was more challenging than the boat crossing itself for sure 😂✌🏼

It truly is breathtaking. Never gets old ☺️

What is the music on this video?
* Wish - Elekfantz
* Neal Conway Ft. Dana Weaver - Fading Away (DJ Spinna Remix)
Anybody that makes this crossing in a single engine boat is crazy 49ers no off
thank you

Are you still in bimni?
Returned a couple of times since! Beautiful place!
Salad! Mmmm
Dirt poor place - would you eat pizza @ Edith's pizza?
Nice video, don’t understand why people like that creepy looking ship wreck, I would not want to dive anywhere near that ugly thing
Awesome
