In 2026, there is no single ferry that runs every day, but several operators provide high-frequency service that covers most of the week. Balearia Caribbean is the primary operator, offering high-speed ferry service from Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) to Bimini and Freeport. The Bimini route typically runs 3 to 4 times a week (usually Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday), taking about 2 hours each way. The Freeport route runs about 2 times a week and takes 3 hours. In 2026, a round-trip day trip to Bimini costs approximately $199 to $250, including port taxes. While you can't go "any day" you want, the schedule is designed to accommodate 2026 weekend travelers and day-trippers. A valid passport is mandatory for all passengers, and it is a "pro-tip" to arrive at the port at least 3 hours early for customs and immigration processing, which can be a significant bottleneck for a same-day return trip.
