Thank you for staying at Resort's World Marina, hope to see you again soon
Be back at the Hilton and marina in a month!!!!
Awesome video👍🏻👍🏻 always wanted to do that trip!
Can I take the next trip with you? 😅 I wanted to document this for my channel but taking a jetski instead 😂 great video btw 🤘🏾
You nailed it that's why I won't go panic attacks set in and time to turn around
It’s not bad at all. I thought I would have anxiety the first time, but truth be told you don’t notice you can’t see land because it is not for that long that you can’t. Go with a group and the time flies going over
After some history, CPB will just start approving your trip without the interview, especially if you transmit AIS during your crossing.
Nice boat... I have a Grady White 265 express in Deale, MD, and that's my dream - pull it down to Florida and spend a week in the Bahamas... Just missing a trailer and something that can pull it...
I use to rent a trailer for my 215. If you find something, let me know, I like to make that run a few times a year
@@cunninghamturch4331 I have a friend with an F-350, just don't have a lead on a trailer... If I run across one, I'll let you know!
Nice video
Thank you.
Where did you leave your truck and trailer
So cool man.
Where did you park your boat and trailer?
Nice clip. Thanks

Thanks.
Does customs search your boat?
nice video captain
always thought the pet permit was only good for one entry, your permit was from last year?
I did not use it last year (the trip was cancelled due to weather) and it was still valid.
Actually you're quite wrong about barracuda. The one you had there was perfectly good for eating, however bigger than that we always save them and give them to the locals they really appreciate that. Got to make the jump to West end
Good to know, I was always told they were not good eating. I hope to get to West End in July…..
@@LandonEM West end is the best end ! Yea Landon, small barracuda are delicious. The reason a lot of people won't eat them in there big or maybe eat them at all, they do scavenge a lot of their food, and feed quite a bit on reef fish, the bigger they get like over 5 lb they start to accumulate toxins.... Most of the prime eating fish that are table fare have some type of toxin in them already though. Locals in the Bahamas love them, always save them and give them away.
When you go back to Florida, did you have to go through customs?
There is an app CBP Roam
@@LandonEM so to be clear, no physical checkpoints?
@@tylergargas7524 no, you scan everyone’s passport. For me, this last trip they did a FaceTime video to see all the passengers and make sure they were whos passport I scanned. In the past they have approved my entry without a FaceTime call, or they will have you report to the nearest CBP office. It’s one of the three, (approved, FaceTime call or report in person), maybe it depends on who’s working I don’t know how they determine which method.
@@LandonEM okay thank you very much for the info. I know the coast guard and border patrol does random inspections out in the water
@@tylergargas7524please can we be friends if you don't mind
How long did it take?
2 hours 36 minutes going over and 2:30 coming back.
How long were there and how much does a trip like that cost?
We were only there a few days, had to cut our trip a day short because I didn’t like the predicted wind direction on the return trip. Cost, the hotel, plus slip fee plus food. Things are a little more expensive in Bimini so most people bring what they can.
It would be nice if the US obtained the Bahamas. I would love to live there without having to go through immigration process.
