    Bimini Trip June 27th - July 2nd 2021

    We made it back from Bimini this morning. Left at 7:50 arrived at 10:30. Was smooth coming out of Bimini for about 20 miles. Got a little worse the next 20 miles. The last 10 miles to Fort Lauderdale were the worst. No way these were 2 foot waves. More 4-5 feet with high wind. Was supposed to...

    Question for those experienced with the return crossing from Bimini to Ft Lauderdale. With following seas on the return are you able to tolerate a little higher waves? What if the forecast looks better later in the morning / early afternoon? Would you cross later in the day or is it better to...

    Checked the engine faults menu. No errors reporting. Ran diagnostics test and everything seems to work. Yesterday went out to Sapona and Honeymoon Harbor and the whole time engine was running with no check engine light. Checking different Glastron forms and manual and some reported similar...

    Bimini Trip June 27th - July 2nd 2021

    So this morning I come out to the boat and it has a check engine light as soon as I start moving. I clear it and it comes back within few minutes. Boat was serviced before the crossing. Any idea of where to get the bot checked out here at Bimini? I am asking around got one guy but he is not...

    Sorry guys, my inreach broke down the night before so I could not share the track. I joined the Bimini Fling this morning. Was the only Jet boat. Other boats ranged from 22’ to 50’ power catamaran. Nice people but all staying in Big Game and not a lot of sharing of activities. Worked for us. The...

    Glad you are done with that. so i read that they need us to be fully vaccinated and 2 weeks have passed after the 2nd shot. If the second shot was less than 2 weeks then we have to test after we get there?

    6/17 is finally on the forecast in one of the apps. I know it is still early and things can change but just to confirm, this would be favorable if it stays like that until the morning of the crossing.

    I am planning to cross with the bimini Fling on 6/17 so starting to watch the weather. I know it is early but has anyone else been watching weather, wave height forecasts etc? any reminders on what’s acceptable? Wind speed, direction, wave height and frequency

    RECOMMENDATION NEEDED FOR REAR VIEW MIRROR

    I got this one and it did not even last for half of last season. We did not even use the boat that much. The mirror cracked and the screws to attach it are super weak. The brackets are solid so I am using them as an expensive flag holder now. :) looking for another mirror that will actually last.

    Hi Everyone. I crossed with @Betik and the group in the July 2018 as a motivated "newbie". Yup, guilty as charged. Best trip we have ever had as a family. Planning our second crossing this year. Would have LOVED to join this group but unfortunately the dates are not going to work for us...

    New cover and Bimini top

    Hello Glastron owners. Our boat cover and Bimini top tore badly on a highway drive unfortunately. These were the originals that came with boat new from Glastron to the first owner. Any idea how to replace? this is a 2015 GT207 thank you for all and any tips.

    2020 Bimini Trip July 12-18th

    So sorry guys. Just cancelled the trip. Tried to schedule test locally here. Was told I can only get the results in person so they cannot email is the results. Will make it impossible for us to have results and get to Florida within 7 days since it takes at least 5 days to get results. Just too...

    How does everyone feel about COVID numbers in Florida going up? I just got a notice from the Bimini Ferry saying they need to reschedule due to “operational reasons”??? would still love to do this trip but the signs are not encouraging :(

    2020 Bimini Trip July 12-18th

    So it sounds like we will need to get tested in our home cities before we start heading to Florida. Or should we look for a testing facility in Fort Lauderdale and get tested right before the crossing.
