Ferry from Florida to Bahamas??

[10" Red Devil]

This is off topic a little, but relates to snorkeling and I know a lot of you here are from Florida. My girlfriend refuses to fly due to a bad incident flying years ago. I really want to do some snorkeling on a little R&R time off. Anyway I first thought it would be cool to drive down to Key West and get on one of the tours there but then my girlfriend tells me that a friend from her work went to the bahamas from florida on a Ferry that leaves from some place in Florida and drops you off in Grand Bahama or something like that. Is that true?

Thanks for any info!

yes it is true, I know someone on the liveaboard I was on 2 weeks ago did that. she said it was fun with food and drinks included. $100 something dollars. but I don't know any more.

I heard there was a cat ferry that went from Ft. Lauderdale but it is temporary shutdown for some reason but that was back in 2004 that the articles stating it was shutdown were posted.
