The engine settles to a low hum and the Atlantic breeze rearranges your hat as the boat slips out of the marina. Waterfront mansions and working piers blur into palms and open water; gulls wheel overhead while the captain plots a course toward a small, sandy crescent that locals call Peanut Island. In two hours you’ll skim past the Port of Palm Beach, peer into the warm shallows where manatees surface, and drop anchor at a lively sandbar framed by clear, shallow water.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

The engine settles to a low hum and the Atlantic breeze rearranges your hat as the boat slips out of the marina. Waterfront mansions and working piers blur into palms and open water; gulls wheel overhead while the captain plots a course toward a small, sandy crescent that locals call Peanut Island. In two hours you’ll skim past the Port of Palm Beach, peer into the warm shallows where manatees surface, and drop anchor at a lively sandbar framed by clear, shallow water.
Peanut Island began as a dredge-spoil island in the mid-20th century and now hosts beachgoers and snorkelers on a compact patch of preserved shoreline. Geologically it’s recent—marine sediments and sandbanks sculpted by currents—and culturally it’s a local favorite for weekend gatherings and snorkeling around submerged mangrove roots. The tour offers a mix of calm sightseeing and playful beach time: a floating water mat, Bluetooth audio, bottled water and a small restroom onboard make the trip comfortable.
Practical guidance: plan for sun and wind—bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and non-slip shoes for climbing onto the floating mat. The trip runs 2–4 hours depending on your booking; shorter cruises hit highlights, half-day charters allow relaxed sandbar stays and social anchoring near other boats. Expect easy boarding but brief bumps if seas pick up; captains are licensed and will provide local navigation and safety briefing. Arrive 15 minutes early, let the captain know any mobility needs, and budget for onshore time to snorkel, swim, or picnic. This is a straightforward, social day on the water that rewards basic preparation with warm water and open-sky views.
Private charters typically depart from a West Palm Beach marina; your captain will confirm the exact dock and meeting point when you book.
