Her passion for the water grew into competing professionally in Wake Surfing.  Now sport fishing is her new found love. And where better to call home than Islamorada, the Sport Fishing Capital of the World?  Autumn’s drive and outgoing personality have helped her succeed in the brokerage business.

"Swim, eat, drink, work, read, talk, read, fish, fish, swim, drink, sleep," is how the main character in Hemingway’s Islands in the Stream sums up Bimini.  Take away “work” and you've got a great idea of what the Bimini Shakedown is all about.

As the closest Bahamian island to the continental United States, Bimini is only 48 nautical miles from Miami.  If you've always dreamed of making the crossing but hesitated to go solo, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for.  Bimini is known for beautiful aquamarine waters, an abundance of feisty fish, and pristine white sand beaches. 

The Bimini Shakedown is an annual trip hosted by Plantation Boat Mart.  Owning a HydraSports, SeaHunter or Sea Hunt Boat earns you the opportunity to take part in this very special weekend event.  Organized groups leave Thursday, July 11, 2013 from Ft. Lauderdale, Miami and Key Largo.  Make the crossing with other members of the HydraSports and Plantation Boat Mart family, staff and our team of pro captains.  While there enjoy accommodations at Bimini Bay, a full service resort.

Upon arrival you’ll be treated to a welcome reception.  Customs and Immigration officers will be available at Bimini Bay so you can quickly and easily clear customs.  Then relax and spend the rest of your evening getting to know our host hotel, Bimini Bay Resort.

Friday you can take part in a fishing tournament, scavenger hunt or doing anything you wish… or nothing at all.  Bimini is home to an abundance of watersports and a gracious island community.  Friday evening features a banquet dinner on property with local fare and fresh fish.  Cash bar available.

Saturday features tours of the island, Stingray encounters at Honeymoon Beach followed with Raft Up BBQ at Rockefeller Beach.  The weekend draws to an end with a going away celebration at Big John's Conch Shell Bar.

Our host hotel is Bimini Bay Resort.  For accommodations for you and your boat, call 888.891.2263 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 888.891.2263 FREE  end_of_the_skype_highlighting and mention Plantation Boat Mart for preferred rates.

Entry fee is $300.  Entry fee includes welcome reception, Friday banquet dinner, Saturday BBQ and dock party. 

Event is limited to Hydra Sports, SeaHunter and Sea Hunt boats.  Reservations are required, RSVP by June 1, 2013.
