Bimini Big Game Club Resort & Marina

What Bimini Big Game Club Resort & Marina does

Bimini Big Game Club Resort & Marina is a privately held boutique resort and marina operating since 1947 in Alice Town, North Bimini, Bahamas. The property operates 49 rooms across three accommodation tiers — 35 Deluxe Rooms, 12 Cottage Waterfront Rooms, and 2 Penthouse Suites — and a 75-slip marina accommodating vessels up to 140 feet, including 4 T-head megayacht docks and on-site Bahamas Customs and Immigration clearance as a designated Port of Entry.

Revenue is generated across six streams: accommodations (room nights), marina slips (daily, monthly, and annual contracts), food and beverage (three on-site outlets including Bimini Seafood Company & Conch Bar and Hemingway's Poolside Rum Club), diving and adventure experiences (Neal Watson's on-site Bimini Scuba Center with 6 dive boats including the seasonal Great Hammerhead Safari at $349 plus VAT), fishing charters and bonefishing (Adrenaline Adventures' 50-foot sportfish Jezebel and four named independent bonefishing guides), and on-site retail through the Outfitters & Liquors Shop. The technology stack is standard hospitality — IQWebBook for reservations, Dockwa for marina slip booking, Google Analytics, and social media plugins — with no proprietary platform.

The customer base is fragmented across sport fishing enthusiasts, scuba divers and snorkelers, leisure vacationers and families, and a smaller group MICE/weddings segment. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via website and toll-free phone, supplemented by channel partnerships with American Airlines, Tropic Ocean Airways, Aztec Airways, Flamingo Air, Western Air, and the Balearia Caribbean ferry. The property carries multiple industry recognitions including TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence, Green Leader Platinum status, Marinalife Boaters Choice Award, Scuba Diving Magazine Gold List, and Caribbean Journal Best Hotels in the Bahamas, and was featured in Netflix's All The Sharks series.
