Port-specific access notes
Mobility & accessibility in Bimini
Ships tender here, so the first question is whether your device can be carried on the tender or ferry to Resorts World Bimini.
Planning notes prepared October 25, 2026 for this new guide. Operator access statements have not yet been individually checked, and this is not an on-site access audit. Access can change with the ship, berth, equipment and operating conditions.
Attractions and excursions: what changes the choice
Golf carts and boats
Transfers needed
Golf carts and tour boats generally require stepping in and out; ask operators about lifts or assistance.
A practical way to plan this port
Planning suggestion: If the tender works for you, stay around the resort beach and pool rather than touring by boat.
Confirm before booking
- Can the tender or ferry carry your occupied chair?
- Is there a step-free route from the landing to the beach?
