One of the benefits of living in Florida is being able to hop in a boat and get out on the water and enjoy the sunshine and weather. Boating is a very popular activity for all ages in Florida.  Any day of the week, dozens of boats out will be out on the water for hours enjoying the many benefits of living in the sunshine state.

Since 2010, the state of Florida requires that any person who wishes to operate a vessel of more than ten horsepower or more and is born after January 1st, 1988 must pass and complete a boater safety course. The course can either be done in person or online.

There is a shallow dive trip that will not require a boat and was dubbed the best dive spot in the world by the Professional Association of Professional Divers in 2014! The site is located on Singer Island, just beneath the Blue Heron Bridge.  Singer Island is one of South Florida’s lesser-known beach getaways. 

Beneath the Blue Heron Bridge, you will encounter seahorses, octopi, and all varieties of colorful tropical marine life. The best part is you do not need your own boat.  You will not even need to book an expensive boat ride to dive it. If you have got diving or snorkeling gear, or if not, you can rent some from a nearby dive shop, you can walk right into the water at Phil Foster Park, and do the dive yourself at high tide. The max depth is…

Naturally with all the water in Palm Beach County finding great places to grab a drink and an appetizer on the waterfront is easy.  However, if you want an idyllic spot to imbibe by the water there are a few special spots!  

Your first stop should be the venerable E.R. Bradley’s Saloon, in West Palm Beach, an indoor and outdoor energetic drinking venue where the breezes off Lake Worth blow through and views of Palm Beach never disappoint. Enjoy cold drinks, bar appetizers, and plenty of TVs, and if that is not enough the people watching of those who pack the place can be entertainment enough.

Head on over to Jupiter beach this Saturday morning and join the Friends of Jupiter Beach as they help clean up the area shoreline.  Friends of Jupiter Beach is a nonprofit 501(c)3 whose goal is to support and maintain environmentally health, clean and dog-friendly beaches in Jupiter, Florida.

In 1994, the threat of closing the beach to dogs rallied a small group of concerned citizens, who quickly began organizing beach cleanups and providing dog waste bags at beach crossovers. Since then, the group has exploded, with individuals and businesses joining in an effort which “repeatedly demonstrate care for their marine environment and the privilege of taking our four-footed friends to one of the last dog beaches in the area”. 

Collectively over…

Snook fishing is something South Floridians are known for, and while it's a fun sport, it's tough for a beginner to figure out on their own. Snook not only puts up a powerful fight, but its mildly-firm white meat has an excellent flavor due to its diet of crustaceans and other small fish. If you're looking to catch a snook in the Jupiter area but don't know where to start, try one of our local snook charters! They take care of everything, as long as you take care of charter fee and a customary 15-20% tip!
