Bimini Sands’ “Stuck in Paradise” offer lets U.S. boaters make the Gulf Stream crossing from Florida to Bimini with confidence during the Atlantic summer storm season.
Located 50 miles east of Miami on South Bimini, Bimini Sands Resort and Marina is a perfect Bahamas island destination for cruising, offshore and flats fishing, snorkeling, diving, and family fun on the water. The resort’s full-service marina features an easy-access, deep-water entrance off the Gulf Stream that puts anglers just five minutes from world-class fishing grounds.
Storms can arise unexpectedly in the Gulf Stream in the summer, however, making conditions difficult for crossing. As a result, boats occasionally are “stuck in paradise”, unable to leave their Bahamas berths until the seas calm down. To help boaters avoid having to pay extra dockage when they must “sit out” rough weather, Bimini Sands offers marina guests who have paid for two consecutive nights’ dockage up to an additional five consecutive days’ free dockage until they can remove their boat. “Stuck in Paradise” offer is subject to Dockmaster approval and slip availability.
“We want to give our marina guests the peace of mind of knowing that if they bring their boat here on Friday for a weekend of fun and the Gulf Stream is too rough to go home on Sunday, their boat can stay in our protected marina until the following Friday without racking up a large bill,” said Bimini Sands CEO Frank Cooney.
A popular destination for boaters and anglers year-round, Bimini Sands Marina accommodates boats up to 100 feet in length on Bellingham floating docks. Marina amenities includes fuel (gas and diesel), 30/50 amp shore power, marina store with bait and ice, dockside restaurant, free WiFi, showers, laundry, tennis court, swimming pool and access to Bimini Sands Resort’s beaches. Marina patrons also can book water-sports activities with the Bimini Sands Activities Center, dive with Neal Watson’s Bimini Scuba Center, and enjoy free bus service to the resort’s Bimini Twist Restaurant and Mackey’s Sand Bar.
Now, thanks to Bimini Sands’ “Stuck in Paradise” offer, weather should not be a deterrent to boaters’ enjoying everything the resort has to offer.
