Josh, see the thread on Miami to Bimini 2012. I am trying to put together a group of boaters to go to Bimini June 11 and return June 15 (Monday to Friday). I am also from indiana and will trailer down especially for this trip.

You should be coming with FPC from June 20-24th. It is all organized for you. I'm trailering down from Montreal for it.

That sounds like something id like to do. Gives me plenty of time to prepare also. About how much $$$ will i need to bring? Are there any expences other than Fuel,Food, and "entertainment "aka drinks"" are there dock fees when we get there. or is it free for all? prob too hot to stay in the cuddy so what is the lodging like there? is there customs we will be going thru? will i need a passport since its a forigen country. so many questions i have. lol....at least well have numbers on the PIRATES if thay try to jack our boats. HAHA.

You will need cash for the customs which is $150 for our size boat and that will cover four people in and leaving including a fishing license. You will need to go thru customs when arriving. The dock space does cost. I will probably stay at the Bimini sands resort or big game . We have passports but I am not sure if they are required. Bahamas has a good website explaining what is needed. You can expect to pay between 5 and 6 bucks for fuel. I have all the documents you need to complete and can email them later if interested.
