Bimini for SCUBA Lovers

For SCUBA lovers, a Bahamas yacht charter wouldn’t be complete without a trip to Bimini. This island has it all, with adventures both on land and in the water. Many island destinations offer activities that teach about the culture and history of the people as well as the plant and animal life – including the native Bimini Boa snake, which is exclusive to the island.  Visit the Fountain of Youth or the Lost City of Atlantis before heading out to the Continental Shelf for the best dive of your life.

Off the western edge of the island of Bimini, you can look into the amazing wildlife channel that is the Gulf Stream.  An underwater cliff begins at 140 feet and drops to depths that are several thousand feet. It is here, in this deep blue water, that an experienced diver might see an extensive assortment of marine life, including marlin, mantas, sea turtles, and dolphins.

 

Where Do You Want To Go?

 

Worldwide Boat offers luxury crewed yacht charters to all of the best charter destinations worldwide. Where do you want to go?

 Somewhere Cold

Alaska: Dazzling blue skies, majestic mountaintops, and stately pine trees are all reflected in the deep blue waters. Wildlife abounds and you’re able to go on whale watching tours, wildlife charters, birding trips, or glacier watching tours, any of which would offer you a memorable experience with many photo opportunities.

Somewhere Hot

Miami and South Florida: Enjoy wild nightclubs with music that spills out into the streets or – even better – onto the beach itself as dancers clad in short shorts and tank tops twirl in the ocean breeze. Go site-seeing to the home of the stars or spend time in Key West.

Somewhere Hotter

Caribbean: Tropical islands. White sandy beaches. Snorkeling and scuba diving to historic shipwrecks and brightly-colored coral reefs.  Bikinis in the sun. Exotic drinks in hand. Enough said.

The Pink Sands of Harbour Island

Harbour Island Bahamas Pink Sand | @WorldwideBoat

Harbour Island in the Bahamas offers a worthwhile yacht charter destination, if for nothing else than its sugar-fine pink sandy beaches. Centuries of coral, rocks, and shells have been ground down to tiny pieces – resembling more dust than rock – to form these luxurious beaches that beg to have bare toes sunk in.

But Harbour Island offers more than just sand and water – even though that would be enough on its own. Diving here is sublime. The Current Cut Dive, between rock walls of Eleuthera and Current Island, has a fast current and exciting views. The Island has a notable history, as Eleuthera Adventurers hid here when the Spaniards invaded their island. During Prohibition, rum was made here. Titus Hole, a cave by the bay, was a prison. The prisoners carved the stone Hill Steps as well as the tunnel that leads to the cove. Other activities include fishing, water sports, horseback riding, shopping, more.

Enjoy a yacht charter to Harbour Island. Come for the beach. Stay for it all!
