The capital costs to Resorts World associated with the acquisition and introduction of the cruise ferry services is some $95 million. The vessel with a capacity for up to 3000 passengers will operate daily between Miami and Bimini with a ferry time of two hours beginning next week. The opening of the Resorts World Bimini Casino actually started in Miami earlier that morning, when the Prime Minister along with his wife Bernadette christened a new cruise ship “Superfast VI”. Speaking at the opening of the casino in Bimini, Prime Minister Christie confirmed Resorts World’s further and broader involvement in the long term leasing and management of the resort. The integrated project is being facilitated by Florida developer Gerado Capo through his company RAV Bahamas Ltd and the Genting/Resorts World Group, a leading international resort, gaming, cruise line, agriculture and energy conglomerate based in Malaysia.

THE commissioning of a new speed ferry to Bimini and the opening of the Resorts World Bimini Casino was praised by Prime Minister Perry Christie yesterday for showing the confidence of the developers in both the Government and the people of the Bahamas.
