August and September: Bimini’s Final Blu
August and September: Bimini’s Final Blu
July 30, 2026
The blue marlin season in Bimini may peak during June and July, but the action does not simply stop when August arrives. August and September represent the final push of the summer marlin season—and these closing weeks can still produce the fish of a lifetime. Warm Gulf Stream water, strong current edges, floating debris, weed lines and concentrations of tuna and mahi-mahi can hold blue marlin within reach of Bimini. Summer is widely recognized as prime billfish season in these waters, with marlin occasionally encountered only a few miles offshore. August generally offers the more consistent opportunity of the two months. By September, the bite becomes increasingly dependent on water conditions, bait and weather, but experienced crews know that a late-season blue marlin can appear at any moment. This is not the time for casual trolling. It takes tournament-grade tackle, a professional crew, the right spread and the willingness to cover water. The reward may be an explosive strike, a screaming reel and hundreds of pounds of blue marlin launching into the air behind the boat. Chase N Dreams Yacht Charters offers a true yacht-quality Bimini sportfishing experience aboard our 61-foot Luxury VIP Viking Sportfish. Our Captain, Mate and Stewardess provide white-glove service for family trips, corporate outings and serious anglers alike. From a novice to a tournament winner, we fish for YOU and with YOU! August and September are your final opportunity to target Bimini blue marlin before the focus begins shifting toward the fall and winter fisheries. One bite can change the entire trip—and there is still time to make it happen. Captain Chase Camacho Chase N Dreams Yacht Charters South Florida’s Most Trusted Captain & Crew Any Island, Any Time!

Enjoy the beautiful waters of the Bahamas, the spectacular crew and whatever fish you're fortunate enough to catch. Just because a certain fish is listed doesnt mean you're necessarily going to catch that species.

The fish hit fast. They do not hook themselves. The predator fish are even faster and will bite your catch that you're reeling in and you won't even know it until you get it in

First timers should do bottom fishing for more success, and have patience. The Captain knows the best locations to find fish, but it's never guaranteed. We have fished twice now in Nassau and had much success both times!

Ask when booking about snorkeling with the sea turtles. They have the gear on the boat and put you RIGHT there. As someone who has never snorkeled before today, I can tell you it was one of the most surreal experiences I've had. Also, make sure you've got plenty of sunscreen. The sun will cook you!!

It is not a glamorous boat day, its a true fishing day with waiting, reeling in fish, sharks taking your fish, and reeling in fish you can eat and some you cannot eat. The entire experience is amazing if you love to fish!
