Update (1/15/16): The Bimini Superfast Ferry is no longer in operation.
How about a micro vacation to Bimini Bahamas?
The Bimini Ferry bills itself as the fastest cruise ship in the Americas. This high-speed cruise ship/ferry gets you from Miami to Bimini in about two hours. Once you’re there you have time to enjoy the island before returning to Miami.
The ship has several dining options and a casino. There are cabins available if you’d like a private space for the cruise.
If you’d like to stay longer than a day in Bimini, there are resort stay packages available with hotel, villa, and island home accommodations.
Pricing for one-day trips starts at $49.50 per person.
The ship sails from Miami on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. one day cruises.

Update (11/17/14): The Bimini Superfast is now offering two night sailing from Miami with departures on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.
