Additionally, setting sail with a skipper will make your voyage even more comfortable! The skipper will take care of all the technical aspects of sailing, so all you need to do is sit back and relax.

If you would like to take charge of your boat charter in Bimini, then bareboat charters are the way to go. Enjoy a bareboat charter if you have a license and set sail at your own pace. You need a valid boating license to enjoy a boat this way so check with the boat owner beforehand to see that your license is valid.

The best time to visit Bimini and rent a boat is during the high season, which typically falls between December and April. The average temperatures during the high season range from the 70s to 80s Fahrenheit, providing ideal conditions for sailing, snorkeling, and basking in the sun.

If you prefer to avoid the peak crowds but still enjoy good weather, consider visiting in the shoulder months of November and May.

What type of boat is best for a Bimini boat charter?

Before choosing the right vessel for your boat rental in Bimini, you first have to think about the duration of your holiday. If you’re only going to sail for a few days, it is best to opt for a daily charter such as a motorboat or a RIB. With the speed of these vessels, you’ll be able to see everything on your wish list in no time. If you’re planning a longer charter of a week or more you should choose a vessel that includes amenities you’ll need during your stay. Catamarans and yachts have the space and accommodations on board to ensure a comfortable stay on the water. For a more luxurious holiday, you might consider a gulet, and for an authentic sailing experience a sailboat.

If you’re unsure about whether or not a vessel suits your needs, feel free to contact the boat owners to get a better sense of what is included on board. With our large fleet, you’ll have no problem finding the perfect boat for your Bimini boat charter!
