Tropic Ocean Airways Launches ‘Escape to Bimini This Fall’ With 15% Off Flights and $100 Off Bahamas In A Day Trips

Two ways to save on seaplane travel from Fort Lauderdale to Bimini, where the flight takes just 25 minutes

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, UNITED STATES, September 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Tropic Ocean Airways today announced “Escape to Bimini This Fall,” a seasonal promotion that gives travelers 15% off flights to Bimini and $100 off Bahamas In A Day, the airline’s same-day seaplane trip. Both offers cover travel from Sept. 22 through Nov. 22, 2026, and must be booked by Oct. 1, 2026.

Bimini sits about 25 minutes from South Florida by seaplane, which makes it one of the easiest international escapes to fit into a normal calendar. Guests arrive 30 minutes before departure, skip the commercial airport routine, and land directly at North Bimini, avoiding the extra steps that come with flying into South Bimini.

“Fall is a great time to be on the water, and Bimini is closer than most people realize,” said Jason Schmidt, Chief Executive Officer of Tropic Ocean Airways. “Whether you want a flight built around your own plans or a full island day with nothing to figure out, this promotion makes it easier to say yes.”

Fly to Bimini With Tropic Ocean Airways
Travelers who want to plan their own trip can book flights to Bimini at flytropic.com/bimini. Scheduled service runs from the Sheltair terminal at Fort Lauderdale to the North Bimini Seaplane Base, and private charters can be arranged from Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Palm Beach, Naples, Tampa, or elsewhere in Florida. Guests can relax in a private lounge before departure, with complimentary valet and Wi-Fi, and enjoy beverages and snacks in flight. Every flight operates with an FAA-certified two-pilot crew.

Bahamas In A Day: A Full Island Day Without the Planning
For travelers who want a simpler option, Bahamas In A Day packages the whole trip into one. Guests check in at the Fort Lauderdale Sheltair terminal, depart at 8:30 a.m. aboard a Cessna Grand Caravan amphibian, and step onto the island around 9:00 a.m. That leaves about eight hours in Bimini before the return flight, which brings guests back to Fort Lauderdale that evening. There are no ferries, no hotels, and no overnight stay.

The day trip includes a roundtrip seaplane flight, private lounge access with Wi-Fi, snacks, and drinks, free parking, and a two-pilot crew on an eight-passenger aircraft. Guests also receive 30 pounds of luggage allowance, access to Resorts World Bimini and its hotel pools, and complimentary transportation between the North Seaplane Base and the resort. Bimini Beach Club access is included on select dates. Seats are limited each week.

Once on the island, guests can keep the day easy or add an experience. Options available by request include snorkeling at Honeymoon Harbour, guided fishing in the mangroves, hammerhead shark dives, swimming with wild dolphins, and golf cart rentals. Add-ons are provided by third-party providers and booked directly with them.
