ferry schedule & prices >>Today, March 30th, in a written statement, the shipping company that makes the connections from Fort Lauderdale (Florida) to the Bimini and Grand Bahama islands (in the Bahamas) by ferry, Balearia Caribbean, has informed us that:
"Due to the actual situation with operational cost increases affecting our business model mainly coming from the oil and gas prices, we, Balearia Caribbean, are being forced to increase the Operational Fees and Taxes with an addition of fuel surcharge in passengers and cargo."
Starting April 1st 2022:
$10 Fuel Surcharge per passenger
$20 Fuel Surcharge per cargo piece
This price increase will be applied to the prices of all the routes operated by Balearia Caribbean: Fort Lauderdale - Bimini, Fort Lauderdale - Freeport (Grand Bahama), Bimini - Fort Lauderdale, Freeport (Grand Bahama) - Fort Lauderdale, Bimini - Freeport (Grand Bahama) and Freeport (Grand Bahama) - Bimini.
"Prices will be reflected on the on the overall Taxes & Fees costs for each pax reservation. Keep in mind that any date changes in the reservation will update the rate and the difference will have to be covered by the customer."
Which means that, as of April 1st, 2022, it will be more expensive to go on vacation to the Bahamas traveling by ferry. If you were thinking of going to the Bahamas at Easter, or to celebrate Memorial Day and you still don't have your reservation, you still have time to book and save money. Remember that whenever you make your reservations in advance, you save money that you can later spend in the Bahamas.
Make your reservation now in our search engine and only worry about what bikini you are going to wear in the Bahamas.
Balearia Caribbean ferry price increase from April 1st 2022.
