Itinerary
Our route takes us by Peanut Island Park, a local favorite where clear blue water meets quiet coves, picnic areas, and some of the best wildlife viewing in the Lake Worth Lagoon.
We’ll cruise through Lake Worth Inlet, the main gateway between the Atlantic Ocean and the Lake Worth Lagoon. As we pass, you’ll hear the fascinating story of how this inlet was carved out and engineered to shape the modern waterways we enjoy today.
As we continue, we’ll pass waterfront estates owned by the rich, the famous, and the occasionally infamous. You’ll also get great views of Palm Beach Island and Henry Flagler’s Whitehall Museum—a true Gilded Age landmark.
We’ll cruise past Rybovich Marina, one of the top mega-yacht marinas in the world. This is where you’ll often see 200- to 300-foot superyachts lined up like a floating skyline. Vessels owned by tech billionaires, sports team owners, and international families often call this marina home for the season. It’s not unusual to spot custom explorers, helicopter pads, or a yacht with its own submarine. Boats that commonly visit include yachts from billionaires like Larry Page, Jeff Bezos, sports owners like Terry Pegula, and seasonal regulars that rotate in from Europe and the islands.

PAul was great!!!! Very knowledgeable.
Very nice relaxing two hour cruise over the inland waterway on a pontoon boat.. Captain Paul was excellent, very caring and gave a lot of good information. Impressive to see the beautiful houses. Very relaxing way to see parts of West Palm Beach.
exceptional boat tour experience. The tour is limited to six people, making for a very personalized experience. Captain Paul was extremely knowledgeable and friendly - he made everyone feel so comfortable.
This was a very very enjoyable tour. The pontoon boat with clean and has a cover to keep cool and the seats were very comfortable. Captain Paul really made the whole trip for us. He is so informed about all the homes and many of the yachts that we saw in our travels. He was professional, polite and told us many stories about the houses. Don’t miss this tour!!!

Very informative and relaxing. Captain Paul was knowledgeable and friendly, I highly recommend this tour!
Capt Paul does a nice job narrating. We did, however, expect a pontoon boat. Instead, we were on a small speedboat. A bit too rough for my wife and not exactly comfortable.
Thank you for joining us and for the kind words about Capt. Paul’s narration. We’re glad you enjoyed that part of the experience. I did want to clarify a few things regarding the boat. The vessel used that day was our backup boat due to a safety-related issue with our primary boat. Rather than cancel the tour altogether, we chose to operate with our backup vessel so guests could still enjoy their experience. While it’s a different style boat, it’s only 3 feet smaller and is still Coast Guard-rated for up to 10 passengers. Before departure, we always offer the option to cancel if anyone is uncomfortable with the unforeseen change in vessel. Since all of our tours operate on the protected Intracoastal Waterway, conditions are generally the same regardless of which boat is being used. We understand that everyone has different comfort preferences, and we do appreciate the feedback. Hopefully we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you back aboard again in the future.
