We love this fast ferry to Bimini. The Balearia Caribbean staff is very friendly. This is our second time here and we have already told our friends to join us next time. And hopefully we can celebrate our wedding there.
Which we hope will be soon!

I think the bad reviews I've read are a bit biased. My boyfriend and I have traveled several times and we love Bimini, its beaches and Balearia. The ferry is always very clean and the staff is very friendly. I recommend traveling during the week and never during Spring Break or Summer season. If you travel in Premium you enjoy a drink and a sandwich. Excellent!

The experience was good. The ferry is fine. But they should have better inflight entertainment and variety of movies. The day trip to Bimini falls far short and you spend more time waiting and on the boat than on the island. Better a ferry stay plus a hotel (I recommend the Hilton) and spend 2 or 4 nights on the island. The wait in Fort Lauderdale at customs was also very long.

The ferry is fast and the staff is correct and professional. But I will not travel with them again to go to the Bahamas. Boarding and disembarking are very slow, despite being two hours before in the terminal. On the return there are only two customs agents for more than 400 people! I think Balearia has to improve these procedures.

Both the Bimini and Fort Lauderdale terminals lack a cafeteria where people can have a drink while waiting for boarding. The service must be improved. During the ferry crossing everything was better, although it is easy to get dizzy.

The return from Bimini to Fort Lauderdale was normal on the ferry. 2 exact hours. But upon arriving in the US the problems begin. We waited at customs with 200 other people for almost three hours. Only two people looking at the passenger documentation and the rest looking at the ceiling. The ferry arrived at 10 pm and we left around 12:30. Bimini is beautiful, but next time I'll go by plane.
