BRP is beginning a new segment on OnBoard, The Sea-Doo Must Have of the Month. This segment will feature new products, services, and activities that enhance the Sea-Doo LIFE.

As many in the northern hemisphere are looking for winter, to end is is the best time to plan your summer vacation and what better way to spend you valued time off than on a turn-key vacation with the center piece being your Sea-Doo watercraft,. Looking for adventure? Looking for a memory of a lifetime? Grab your passport and take part in the Bimini Road Rally, a four-day/four-night exclusive, all-inclusive adventure ride from south Florida to the islands of Bimini in the Bahamas taking place June 21-25, 2012.

Part event, all adventure, the 2012 Bimini Road Rally will be the sixth year of the popular Sea-Doo ride, a one-of-a-kind trip that takes up to 20 special fun-seekers on a four-star trip from North Miami Beach, across open-ocean and the Gulf Stream to the island of Bimini in the Bahamas – smack-dab in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle.

Each participant will test their physical and mental stamina in this demanding, once-in-a-lifetime ride with the safety of expert PWC adventure riders and the support of escort boats leading the way. Participant’s all-inclusive trip will include a one-night stay at the Double Tree* Ocean Pointe Resort and Spa in Sunny Isle, Florida and three nights at South Bimini’s finest property, Bimini Sands Resort and Marina.

“The Bimini Road Rally has truly become the personal watercraft industry’s premier, owner’s adventure ride,” says event producer Tim McKercher. “There is something very special about spending time in Bimini; with the world as it is today people need to take more personal time. The Bimini Road Rally allows PWC owners to get away with no worries about anything, as we make it very easy to relax and have fun.”

Bimini is a truly magical destination with much folklore and its famous electric blue waters. Eventurists will visit the sunken concrete ship, the Sapona, various aircraft crash sites, highly sought fountain-of-youth, Honeymoon Harbor, Alice Town, and the legendary Bimini Road – thought to be the path to the lost city of Atlantis.

The Bimini Road Rally is not for the faint of heart, as a trip into the Bermuda Triangle always brings uncertainty but the experienced WaterTop staff ensures participants have an incredible experience-of-a-lifetime. This Rally is limited to the first 20 people who meet the detailed criteria required for this trip.  The WaterTop staff will do EVERTHING to make the trip as easy and memorable as possible . . . except squeeze the throttle.

“This is our staff’s favorite event of the year, every year, and we do a lot of events,” noted McKercher. “The reason is, it’s fun, and everybody who participates always has a great time.”

For those who want to enjoy Bimini with their significant other, but would rather not take to the high seas they can fly from Ft. Lauderdale International Airport to Bimini and back with the WaterTop support staff via a major airline.

All interested parties must utilize their own personal watercraft, apply, and meet the requirements for admission. The participation fee is $2250 per rider and $1850 for a second person sharing the same room. This fee includes nearly everything during the trip including four nights accommodations, all meals, Bahamian Boating Permit (mandatory $150), 50 gallons of fuel in Bimini, Gift Pack, and much more.
