I would tip their guys to tie the boats up and watch them for you. They have a great marina staff. You will be climbing down to or up from your boats at low tide but properly tied there should not be an issue.
I confirmed my booking at Bimini Big Game club. With a room for 4 (or more) nights you get Marina free for 4 nights. I pay 5 nights hotel and 1 night marina.
is there a need to bring a chain or some sort of locking apparatus for the boat? or am I wasting my time thinking about it?
it'll suck to lose my ride home.

Heck...that is the same for all of coastal Florida from my experience! Learned that the hard way when I was installing a radio antenna and radio in my brother's driveway at dusk....drove me freakin nuts!
Heading down to KY where the boat is stored... Maintenance weekend. Oil, plugs, hope to install VHF and second bildge. I probably have more to do then time, also, its supposed to be 72 and sunny.... soooooooo probably cruise some, maybe take a nap out on the lake.... talk about a destresser!!
10 feet of 1/2" thick steel chain enough to lock the boat to the dock? I'm staying in the canal, and from what I read on another forum chaining boats are the norm over there

How are you attaching the chain without damaging the gelcoat? I guess you could have one of those chains with a cloth sleeve. It might be better to get some kind of tracking device placed in the boat. Time for Google.

I really don’t think you need to chain your boats up. Yamaha jets boat are at the bottom of the list. If you had a CC with triple or quad 400’s I might be worried

My group size changed, total of 4 adults, so I was looking around for a 2 bedroom reservation. The one I found is near Alice Town, with Blue Waters Marina nearby. I called the marina and they quoted my $35/night for a slip. All they took was the boat's name and stated that an additional 5% charge would be included if I paid with a credit card upon arrival. This seems incredibly low, should I be worried?
In a country comprised of 16 major islands, boaters will never be far from a Bahamas marina. Throughout our islands, we have hundreds of slips available.
