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.

Captain Paul was great and very knowledgeable about the West Palm Beach/Palm Beach area! The boat was very clean and it was an all around awesome boat tour!
Paul was an amazing captain and narrator for this boat trip. We had a lovely evening of info, laughs and music on the calm waters of the intercostal! I would highly recommend Paul and the Flying Lady pontoon boat for a relaxing evening.
My family and I went on a sunset tour with Captain Joe tonight and it was so much fun! He made time to show us Peanut Island and the celebrity houses since we were curious to see both. He knows so much about the area and it was great to learn from a true local. For all of the houses we saw he knew the history and some great stories. Thanks for a fantastic tour!
Captain Paul did an outstanding job conveying info on the area. He was friendly and considerate. I would highly recommend Captain Paul
Captain Paul was full of knowledge about the history in the area. The information about the homes was fascinating as was the knowledge of the yachts. Definitely a must do when in the West Palm area!
Thank you for the great review! Captain Paul really does a fantastic job bringing the area to life, and I’m glad you enjoyed the stories behind the homes and the yachts along the way. We love hearing that the history and local insight stood out, and we truly appreciate the recommendation. Thanks for choosing Flying Lady Boat Tours while visiting West Palm Beach. We hope to have you back on the water with us again soon.
