A local guide to boating in West Palm Beach
Boating around West Palm Beach is all about easy access to both calm inland waters and open ocean adventure. Start with a cruise along the Lake Worth Lagoon for smooth waterways and waterfront views, or explore the Intracoastal for a more relaxed ride through Palm Beach’s neighborhoods and marinas. Many boaters anchor at Peanut Island to swim, picnic, and spend the day on the water. For something more adventurous, the Atlantic offers quick access to offshore fishing and deeper water excursions. With Boatsetter, you can choose the right boat or go out with a licensed captain—making it easy to relax, explore, and experience West Palm Beach from the water.
