Unsafe ... boating alone always wear a lifejacket and kill switch
We’ve all done it a time or two his is just on camera 🤷🏿♂️ he survived this time … no biggie… until 👀 nvm
yup your right
And leave a 50’-100’ rope hanging off the back. If you fall overboard the wind can blow your boat away faster than you can swim.
He wasn’t alone, I guess you missed the part where he was with a group of boaters traveling together… kinda hard to miss but ok? 🤷♂️🤦♂️

His boat was on autopilot. His friends were so far behind that if he fell overboard they would have more than likely drove right passed him in the water while they continued to follow the empty vessel. I've spent enough time on the open ocean to know that you can't over prepare. When you're out there, your decisions can decide if you make it home alive or not. That ocean shows no mercy.
Bruddah, thank you sooo much for thinking about your viewers while filming.
you seem to draw us in with the natural sounds and the Amazing drone footage. makes for a more inclusive experience.
being from the Pacific i'm loving the Atlantic just that much more. I just love the ocean period.
I had 3 catamarans for my business but your boat.....you made the right choice. its super chilling vibe makes for great composition. Your videos make me smile and reflect. a
Aloha and Mahalo (Gracias Hermano).🤙🙏
Thank you Mr Bing this means a lot. I make these videos for you the subscribers so I am always happy to get positive feedback!
Super cool, great job dude
Thanks glad you enjoyed it
Loved it !!! Can’t wait to go back !!
Thank you so much for making this video. When I seen the preview I was praying you went through the main entrance of Bimini and actually filmed it. One of my greatest memories with my dad when I was just 15 years old and we took our 25-ft Wellcraft Nova and made the crossing coming out of Fort Lauderdale. I distinctly remember coming into the same entrance that you did and seeing the starfish lying on the sand under the boat coming to the inlet. I pleaded with my dad to stop so I can swim down and get it says you'll never make it it's 25 ft deep right there. It looked like it was only four foot of water. I remember like it was yesterday although it sure was nice to see it again. I'm 45 now and my dad's been gone for 6 years. Wow 30 years ago. The beautiful clear blue water of Bimini.... It's on my bucket list! I've got a 30-ft Sea Ray Sundancer and hopefully one day I'll get to go back. Again thank you for the video you just don't know how much it meant to me to be able to see the place again.
Wow that means a lot that my video go take you back to that special moment. Maybe one day we can cross together, but thank you for the heart warming comment
Awesome story!
@@treeamigo8447 yes I loved it
You can take your dad this time in memory I’m sure he’ll love it’s also on my bucket list for many years…Godspeed buddy🙏🏻🙌🏼😎
@@danielgoudge8465 yes he will be there with you in spirit
This was pretty informative. Thanks!
Thanks glad you enjoyed it Enginepy
Great Video Bro! I see your doing the Bimini Happy Dance! lol...Great Bimini Info, I'm a pizza lover, that pizza looked delicious! The views, Wow! Enjoy Bro! Peace from the Keys!
Yes. This was my first time going so I did a happy dance I was very excited. Now it's just a normal thing for me like it is for you to go to Tavernier Key. Nothing like the first time
Bro, you did a GREAT job of taking video! It's nice that you mostly kept your audio instead of playing music like many others so we can hear what you are saying and the atmosphere :) Mostly, I just liked the detail. Of all the crossing videos, this one had the most detail for every step of the way. I honestly felt like I was there with you!
Thanks Battle Sr, I’m glad you enjoyed it I myself am the same and don’t like when people just play music and you don’t get to hear the natural sounds, Which is why I do it this way. Make sure you subscribe because next year I will be bringing you along to more then 5 Bimini trips already planned for next year along with other places on the bucket list!
@@MiamiLiving305 do you need a passport to go to Bimini from Miami?
@@janelleflagg7154 Yes since you are crossing to another country
@@MiamiLiving305 okay cool bcaz some places close or owned to the U.S. don't need a passport! Puerto Rico or Virgin Islands!
@@janelleflagg7154 even this Bimini is only 50 miles away from Florida They do require it
Congratulations on fulfilling your dream! Work hard, play hard!
Thank you fu dog
You go Bimini Crosser!
Please get yourself that comfortable inflatable lifejacket, por favor. For the kids!
Yes I got myself one now
Thank you so much for explaining the trip!
Glad you enjoyed
in the 1950's my dad made the trip with a buddy in a state of the art 17 foot runabout with 35 horse Johnson . i don't think you needed a passport then . just show up and declare .. a different world then ... no movie but great color slides . the old ship wreck was there also . only more intact
Sounds like good times. On a calm day a 17ft boat with a 35 is enough to get you their. Bimini must have been really empty back then compared to now with the homes airport and Hilton hotel.
I havent even made it halfway and I'm already proud of you!
You worked hard for this day, of course you deserve it!
You were on your boat alone but you weren't boating alone.
I love it!
Looks like you know what you're doing!
Keep going!
Keep chasing new dreams!
You got this!
Thanks for the kind words Rennee
@@MiamiLiving305 Love the fact that you went solo in your yacht. I flew airplanes for a living and I always had a required crew member. Now that I am retired and have my own plane I fly solo 100% of the time. There is just something about being by yourself whether it is on the open sea or sky. I subscribed.
@@jcheck6 yes just you your machine and your thoughts
Thank you for sharing. This will make my experience much more easier and safer. Thanks
Thank you cheviroc glad it helps
I physically turned green with envy while watching this video. I'm going to have to do this one day. Great stuff.
Maybe one day you can join me in the crossing!!
Great video! Thanks for sharing! Looked amazing
Glad you enjoyed the content
Great video man! looked like a fun trip! Just found your channel and subscribed. It was -34 degrees here in MN yesterday. It's videos like yours that give us northerners a little break for the cold. Look forward to checking out more of your videos! Jeremy from MN
Nice to meet you Jeremy lots of fun trips like this planned in the near footage nice to know I can give you a little brake from the cold!!
If you ain't the Coolest guy.... love how you interacted with the Bimini Boys - 👍🏾😇
I use to do the same thing riding around my bike in the streets of Miami so I instantly connected with them and their sense of adventure
Love it ! Glad you fulfilled your dream ...
Thank you can’t wait to go back this year with my family
love watching you guys go over to bimini can't wait until I'm able to take the new SH Gmfsh 27 over also with the family. keep it up
Nice you can be a new member of the Sea Hunt Gang lol
Awesome video, love the journey.
Thank you James stay tuned for part 2
So nice I had to subscribe. Looking forward to crossing from Nairobi to Bimini.
New to your channel. We had a good time in Bimini. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you saul it was a please meeting you and your crew this past weekend. Que se repita para la proxima pronto!
Love the video! Will be in Bimini next Sunday via cruise ship. Bimini crossing is on my bucket list for my custom 14' microskiff Plankton.
I have seen people make it in Jet skis
Inflatable pfd is 2 for 1 today at West Marine. I’m guilty, too! Gonna order a couple. Thanks for the reminder. You might have read about the guy in the New York to Bimini race, he fell off and drowned. No excuse
Yea I know need to order some steve
Fun trip. Be safe my friend. I think I do the same freedom dance on the open sea.
Its just a vibe that hits you eh lol
Best ever ever towing the Bimini Kidz Bicycles!
I use to do the same when I was young
This was awesome to watch... Can't wait to see the other part of the trip.. this video is worth seeing again just you watch you bust the moves.. loll.. blessings brother
Lol Thank You My brother. Gonna watch me dance in 4k
@@MiamiLiving305 you bet. Will be watching again in 4k.. looking forward to it.
Yes agree with others, loved the natural sound and what makes a video take us on a trip as if we were there with you. Nice job,
Thank you Foxm going to be going back very soon
Kind of late, nice video. One thing not sure if you have a kill switch or not auto pilot is nice but one wrong wave and your out and your boat is gone.
I know I only did it because it was very flat that day and the chances were very low
Gracias por compartir . Manuel , desde Playa Buye, Cabo Rojo , Puerto Rico .
Gracias Manuel de un paraíso a otro
Liked and subscribed! Awesome video
That was Great almost like being there!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed the Video
This is awesome. Been watching all kinds of Bimini trip videos. Now I want to learn how to operate a boat or jet ski to do a trip.
It’s something that I recommend everyone do
Thats awesome man, hope to do the same one day!
You really should Jose
Great video! Cheers from the Finger Lakes!
Thanks Wheatwear
Learn something new every day
Glad to hear!
Lol 4:06 my mans is straight vibin' 😂 hard not too when on a scenic boat ride over to an island
Yes I was so excited! That moment was many years in the making for me
July 9, 2022 Saturday 4:34 pm I'm glad you got to live your dream. Much respect to you for planning your trip from A to Z. I gotta give a shout-out to Alfred from the Chit Show it was tru his channel I somehow saw yours. Thanks for taking us with you!
Thanks man planning is key to a good trip, and unlike the chit show I actually show and teach people how to do things properly not just make fun of them lol

Bad ass!! This is on my bucket list! I got a 22 hour drive to get my boat down to Miami first. Thats the o ly thing stopping. Me at the moment!!
Damm where you at Canada?
@@MiamiLiving305 nah Oklahoma lol.
@@jeffbryner5355 I can guarantee you it will be worth it
Man that looks so nice…me and the wife are bookin a resort in the Bahamas for our anniversary but I think the Air BNB would be more fun if u can find one close to the beach like that
Def better because you still have access to the Hilton if you wanted to go
Amazing video bro!!
Thanks Im actually going back to Bimini Tomorrow
Glad you got your time man. Thanks for sharing it
We had our formula 34PC and you think we ever got to go to the big island lol?
We did have our moments. And they were well worth it. We have a signed offer and about to hand off.
Will miss it. But just don't have the time. Thinking maybe we get seadoos :)
As long as your in the water!
@@MiamiLiving305 exactly right
Cool when u plan on another cross to bimini did it on my ski won't to cross in my boat
As of right now we thinking late April’s early may
Buenas imágenes en ese vídeo 👍🚤
Gracias Abraham deja que veas el proximo de el Sapona y Honey Moon Harbor
Thanks for the detailed videos..going in June. On the first video what place were you at with the pools?
They call it Blue Beach and its part of the Hilton towards the north end of the Island
Bro, this is living life
I not going to argue that with ya. I sure ain't complaining lol
Cool content my man, new sub
Welcome to the fam glad you enjoy the content
Thank you for sharing your video!!! My husband and I didn’t get to meet you on this trip but hopefully we can meet on the next one!! 👍🏽🌴🇧🇸 #sanbalerotour
Sounds good checking out your page I do recognize your boat, I believe I have drone footage of it now on my next video at the sapona and honeymoon harbor!
@@MiamiLiving305 cool, we’ll look out for your next video - you got 2 new subscribers 🙌🏽
@@jesssmvlz thank you so much Jess it’s greatly appreciated
I don't need Billions in the bank, super yachts, jets like Elon........ I just want a quiet happy wealthy lifestyle like you man, nice house, boat, Jetski and a 4x4 truck, life will be grand!!!
I don’t get to show all the hard work it takes to get to this point but all I can say is never settle and always follow your dreams
great video bro
Thanks Roberto
Nice of him to let those children hitch a ride.
I had hitched many rides as a kid so only returning the deed to the universe
Nice boat bro
Thanks John
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Love it
Thank you marlove glad you enjoyed it
@@MiamiLiving305 you welcome sir...I'm from the Bahamas
@@marc-doodyvivatotency3451 so this is just a video of your slice of paradise
Great video! Hope to join the group as well! Looking at getting a 22 to 24ft bay boat wonder if I could make the trip in that? Your thoughts?? I see people go in jet ski so I guess on a nice day should be fine??
Yea as long as the weather is good you should make it no prob we were cruising at 30-38mph
This is so cool. Thank you for sharing. That autopilot mode must make driving so much easier. God bless
Yes it does! Glad you enjoyed the video
Awesome vid man, that is also my dream!!! How much fuel do you carry?
I went with 130 gallons and my boat holds 220 but I only consumed about 70-73 gallons the whole weekend going back and forth and moving around the island
That’s awesome I’m dying to go there but I have a 23 ft Bowrider with a F150 Yamaha,do you think it’s safe to attempt a trip with a small boat like mine ?great video god bless
Yes Robert as long as you plan your trip and go with good weather conditions (less then 8mph wind) I'm sure you will make it just fine. Its not as far as you might think when you actually go. I have seen many people go in both 19 ft Jetboats and others that have even gone in Jetskis so I'm sure you will be more then fine with your 23ft boat. Just make sure your maintenance is done before you go would be my only recommendation
nice vid bro
Thank you Haywood glad you enjoyed it
What if. You fell overboard? Asking for a friend.
Then you would not have seen this video
No toilet, no bed, hope it dont rain.
I do have a toilet. The bow tunes into a bed and with a cover I do not get wet.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Maaaad, that's life
Lol
Awesome video. Thank you. Doing this trip is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I’m planning on doing it in summer 2023. I’m from NY and will be trailering my boat down. That being said I’m unfamiliar with the weather there. For the crossing, what kind of wind is optimal. Obviously no wind, but what about wind direction? Does a south or north wind cause a wet ride, west wind a rough following sea? What month is usually calm? Are there any forums where a group of people plan to go out at the same time? Any feed back is awesome and greatly appreciated. Thanks for the awesome fun videos! Keep it up!
Well winds are usually from east to west best time to go is late summer after the winds have calmed down. I wont go anything past 12-13 mpd and because you easily are seeing 4-5 ft waves and makes the trip alot longer then it should be. I have a facebook page in the bio of my last video where I plan trip to Bimini to miami like this one.
@@MiamiLiving305 Ok awesome thank you again. I’ll definitely follow and check it out.
@@franksabia3509 no worries frank it’s not as far as it might seem in real life. As Miami disappears behind you Bimini appears shortly after
what size boat? great video!
Hi Fletcher Its a 30Ft Sea Hunt
Crazy how close Bimini is from Miami.
It seems closer every time I go
@@MiamiLiving305 so dope. Have you traveled to any of the other islands in the Bahamas with your boat?
@@BlackBirdieGolf No but those other islands are in the plans like Exuma and the island where Pablo Escobar's plane did a emergency crash landing on the water (plane is still there) Those trips are already planned so your going to have to stay tunned!!
@@MiamiLiving305 wow, that's so so dope! Looking forward to those vids for sure. 👍🏾👏🏾 The ocean in Bimini looks sick!
@@BlackBirdieGolf Thanks Black Birdie Golf
🙌🏼🎥👍🏼
Thanks Guys
Never heard of this place
Now you know
What boat is that? Nice video
A Seahunt Gamefish 30
Amazing,how long you needed from Florida to Bimini?
Nice day hour and a half only 50 miles away
@@MiamiLiving305 thanks great
Bro what's up, how many miles is it from Haulover to bimini ?
About 53-55 miles
this video is awesome but have been trying to find out the song at 2:50
No song at that mark
Wow, Bimini has changed so much, it used to be untouched and not modernized.
Yes I have heard the same thing that before the hilton it was a fishermen's island
Yea, I mean you're literally watching a video of someone contributing to that.
You guys vacation where I live at
I say the same thing to the people that come to Miami
We are not boaters, we want to rent a boat and go for the weekend, would you recommend it?
And what advice would you give inregards to navigating the sea.
I just recovered from a serious surgery and this is something my husband and i want to do for our 25th wedding anniversary, but only if it is safe.
We are not risk takers, we have children.
It’s safe if you are in a good boat and the weather is good. I have seen jet skis and small jet boats make it so yes it’s safe to cross. Now in terms of renting a boat I’m not sure a company will let you rent a boat and take it to another country. They do have ferry that can take you but not sure of a rental boat company that would allow that
Probably a dumb question but we are setting for our first trip across in June. The customs paperwork asks for a boat name. I don't have a name for my boat. What do I enter?? Thanks in advance.
Enter No Name in that section.
305 questions you go in may 28 to bimini
No Im going in June
I am new to a “large” center console boat & fishing in the ocean. I can not for the life of me understand why people ride with no kill lanyard. I mean a life vest maybe. There’s nothing to stop the boat if you go overboard. To me it’s a stupid decision not to wear one. I will just assume you have the man over board system. 😂
Great video other than that. And yes I have every right to say something. It could be me and my family that YOUR boat kills when you are not on board.
You boat In Miami? I’m kidding lol I usually have the kill switch attached to myself but that day it was so flat that I did not put it on.
@@MiamiLiving305 Yes! We do a little traveling around. We have a SeaCat 260. Hey look into the man overboard system. It’s a really neat system. It a fob that stays in your pocket. No being tied up. 😂 Trust me I get it. There is nothing worse than being tied to the boat with a cable that gets caught on everything. Well I guess going over and watching your boat sail into the sunset could be worse. 😂
Really enjoyed the video. Stay safe friend.
@@Saltyoar yes I have been thinking of investing in that for my next solo trip. Glad you enjoyed the video
@@MiamiLiving305 I want to do the trip do Bimini
What all paperwork would one need? Passport?
@@Saltyoar Passport and negative pcr test or your vaccination card. That's it
Nos fuimos lejos
Asi mismo
Hey man what size boat do you have?
30Ft
You should do D.R next
Might need a bigger boat to get to DR lol
What year and make for the boat?
2020 sea hunt gamefish 30
What time of the year did you go?
This video was from a trip mid Sep 2021
Nice boat, what is it?
Sea Hunt
Hola creó que si hablaras un poco más en lenguaje Hispano tendrías un mayor número de seguidores en tu canal de video es muy lindo saludos..
Gracias Jorge de ahora para lante voy a tratar de abalar en los dos idiomas para que todo el mundo pueda disfrutar los vídeos. Lo está pensando ase rato también hablar en español
What size and kind of boat do you have? Is it ever possible to find anyone wiling to take people over?
They have a Ferries that go daily
@@MiamiLiving305 roger that.. i had seen that. I have a boat here in Texas but definitely want to make this crossing but would need a new boat. Do you mind letting me know the specs of your boat? She looks great!

Hey, amazing trip. But sailing in a boat going 35 mph without looking where you are going, is not god seaman ship
Who said I was not looking where I was going?
What’s the song at 16:15?
I have no idea i get them from a music company
That’s a big fuel burn for one person. You seem like a nice person, why no friends?
