Beautiful Paradise Island is linked to Nassau by bridge and has gorgeous beaches, luxury hotels, a large casino and first class entertainment.

Day 5 Port of Call Bimini Islands Arrival 7:00a.m. Departure 3:00p.m.

Overview

Located just 50 miles of the east coast of Miami is the tiny fishing paradise known as Bimini.Bimini is not only the nearest (hence the name gateway) and most accessible island by boat, but also the smallest of the 700 islands in the archipelago called The Bahamas. The island is rich in history and has played host to famous persons from as far back as Ponce de Leon, the Spanish Explorer who came in search of the Fountain of Youth in 1513. Bimini was the first island in the Caribbean to have a casino, The Bimini Rod & Gun Club, the remnants of which today serve as a home. Bimini is hardly a palm fringed paradise. Abundant casuarina trees and older homes give it a summer camp look. And the rustic bars and hotels that cater to the loads of game fishermen, divers & snorklers lend Bimini a slightly honky-tonk atmosphere. But the exotic of the tropics is never far from her coasts. Divers are all over the shallow turquoise waters, and glass bottom boats load up passengers to view "Atlantis" off North Bimini's Paradise Point.

Day 6 Cruising
Day 7 Port of Call Norfolk Arrival 8:00a.m.

Overview
