Traveling with Balearia ferry to Freeport is not bad. The staff is friendly, polite and helpful. But the queues and waiting make a day-trip not recommendable. We spent more than 2 hours waiting for the Customs Agent to let us through in Fort Lauderdale. For me it was a long time spent in a short time in Grand Bahama.

The ferry is comfortable, relatively fast and the price is reasonable. I do not recommend buying the excursions on board. They are more expensive than doing them on your own. We went to the Lucayan hotel (Freeport), and for $20 per person we were in the hotel's beach club with a pool, and access to the beach and bathrooms. A good plan to enjoy Freeport!

Good experience to travel to Freeport and spend a couple of days in Grand Bahama.
Balearia Caribbean is a serious, punctual ferry company and its staff is the best. They quickly fixed a problem with our reservation.
The ship is very full to Freeport so I recommend not traveling on a weekend.

Getting the ferry to travel to the Bahamas is not a bad idea. The Balearia Caribbean ferry has spacious seats and an outdoor deck where you can go out to watch the sunrise and take photos. In the cafeteria you can have drinks, refreshments and coffee (which smells very good) and a store in case you have forgotten something. Embarking and disembarking is a task to be patient.

The best way to get to Freeport (Grand Bahama) from Florida.
Ideal for those of us who live in the US and want to go see family and friends.
In addition we can carry many suitcases for a cheaper price than the plane.
There is no ferry every day. I think every two.
But the journey is fast and direct. So, well done Balearia!
