Snorkeling in Bimini: Private boat, military wreck, your schedule

Snorkel a sunken warship while you steer the day

A private snorkeling adventure in Bimini where you choose the timing, locations and activities: sail the islands, snorkel a military wreck teeming with marine life, dine on a secluded beach, or watch the sunset. A live English-speaking guide is aboard. The boat, equipment and three hours are yours to direct.

Step-by-step itinerary

Private sailing and beach activities

• Sail around Bimini islands
• Dine on a secluded beach
• Snorkel a military warship
• Enjoy a romantic sunset

The experience

The military warship sits in Bimini's turquoise water waiting to be explored, but you decide when to get there and how long to stay. This is not a fixed itinerary: you pick whether to sail around the islands first, head straight to the wreck, anchor at a secluded beach for lunch, or chase the sunset instead. The boat and guide are yours alone, which means the day bends to what interests you, not to what a schedule demands.

Snorkeling equipment is provided and ready when you board. The wreck itself draws marine life, so the moment you descend you are in the habitat rather than watching it from a distance. Between water time, the guide handles navigation and can point out what lives where. You handle the mask and fins. A photographer captures the day, so you get images and video without stopping to pose for them.

Three hours is the window, though how you split it between sailing, snorkeling, beach time and the other moments is entirely yours. Soda, bottled water and snacks are aboard. The secluded beach option means you can eat without returning to a restaurant dock, and the romantic sunset moment is there if the timing works, or you skip it and snorkel longer instead.

Is this one for you?You steer the boat and set the stops: ideal if you want privacy and the freedom to linger at the wreck or move on to the beach without waiting for a group to finish. If you prefer a guide-led route with set stops and a group, a shared tour would suit you better.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What is the military warship like underwater in Bimini?

The wreck sits in shallow enough water that snorkelers can explore it directly, and it has become a reef where marine life congregates. The structure itself is the draw. You are swimming through and around the vessel, not viewing it from above.

Can I really choose what we do during the three hours?

Yes. The timing and locations are entirely up to you. You can sail around Bimini's islands, spend most of the time at the wreck, anchor at a secluded beach, or mix all three. The guide and boat follow your preferences, not a set route.

Is snorkeling equipment included, or do I need to bring my own?

Snorkeling equipment is included. You get a mask, fins and whatever else you need to enter the water. The guide will fit it to you before you go in.

What happens if I am not a strong swimmer?

Moderate physical fitness is recommended for this activity. The guide is with you and can advise on depth and current, but you should be comfortable in the water and able to manage basic snorkeling skills.

Do I get photos from the day?

Yes. A photographer captures photos and videos during the adventure, so you have a record of the wreck, the marine life and the moments without having to manage a camera yourself.
