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.

Fun time with Captain Paul! Friendly and knowledgeable, recommend!
What a lovely relaxing boat ride on the intercostal! Saw a lot of lovely houses from a different perspective you don’t get on land. Or can’t get on land because the properties are all so private from the road. Captain Paul was terrific - friendly & knowledgeable. Not only fully narrated the trip, but knew answers to a lot of questions we asked about the area. Gave us all kinds of eating/dining recommendations & just a really nice guy to chat with. Thanks captain Paul!
