Is there a ferry from east Florida to the Bahamas?

Question

I'm looking for a way to go from Florida to the Bahams by boat...Something that I can buy a ticket for that takes me to the Bahamas where I plan on staying for a few days then returning back to Florida.

P.S. I'm aware of the Discovery Cruise but that's not quite what I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Besides cruising, the only other way to get to the Bahamas is to fly or charter a boat. No ferries at this time.

Good Luck)

Answer 2

No sorry

Answer 3

There was a ferry that ran from Port of Lauderdale to Nassau, but I don't know if it's still running or not.  Check with the Harbor Master at Port of Lauderdale.

Answer 4

They're aren't any ferries, but you could charter a boat, (have someone take you), or rent a boat and go there yourself. Sorry, I was wondering about this myself a while ago and then after doing a lot of calling and researching, there are no ferries. But you should check out chartering, it's kind of expensive but if you really want to go it's worth it, I did. I paid $850 to have a company take me there in one of their sail boats. Call the various boat and charter companies in Florida there are a few of them that will take you there, including the U.S. Virgin Islands, a thousand miles away from Florida. No passport is needed for the USVI if you are an American citizen because the USVI is a United States Territory. The Bahamas you will need a passport.
