Classic black Bimini top on a white boat
“Bimini — The Mother of Many Waters”
From Bibi (mother) and Mini (waters) — a name once used for the whole Florida peninsula. The Lucayan people of the Bahamas also knew these waters as the twins — North and South Bimini — later written on Spanish maps as Beimeni and Bimene before English settled on Bimini.
