Plus, Henry Waszczuk will host a Fishing Clinic, and representatives from Raymarine will offer a Navigation Seminar.

honeymoon harbor raft-up Picture the scene: Crystal-clear water stretching as far as the eye can see, warm rays beaming down from above, tropical vegetation rustling in the breeze, and an impressive array of Boston Whalers framing the scene in a giant half-moon. Throw in a delicious lunch, boisterous beach games, opportunities to feed the local stingrays, and plenty of open time to swim and relax, and you’ve got the unforgettable Honeymoon Harbor Raft-Up. If Boston Whaler were to stake out a secret headquarters in the Bahamas, this would be the place!
WHEN: Wednesday – 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM WHERE: 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM: Meet at the docks for group departures (refer to schedule)

What adventures await us around that next bend? Come see for yourself! Bring your camera or phone to document the epic scenery.

farewell celebration: black & white party Our time on Bimini will conclude with a fond farewell party, an opportunity to reminisce about all the highlights of the week.

Boston Whaler staff members will hand out awards for the fishing tournament, and we’ll have a “highlight reel” playing throughout the evening. The party will also feature lively island music, festive spirits, raffles and more. Help us cap off another incredible rendezvous and pave the way for Bimini 2017!
