Riviera Beach’s 49′ PowerCat is an invitation to slow coastal travel along Florida’s southeastern edge. Based out of Riviera Beach, Florida, this wide-beamed catamaran is built for comfortable private charters on the Intracoastal Waterway, past waterfront estates, and out to the Palm Beach Inlet where the Atlantic opens up. Days aboard unfold with easy cruising, sandy stops at Peanut Island, and panoramic views of mega-yachts and salt-scrubbed shorelines.
The boat’s twin-hull design makes for a steady ride whether you’re crossing the inlet or drifting offshore to anchor in calm blue. The deck layout prioritizes social space: shaded lounges, open bow seating, and an ample cockpit that adapts to family outings, birthdays, or a seaside escape with friends. Practical touches — spacious boarding, stout railings, and room for coolers and beach gear — keep the mood relaxed and safe for mixed-ability groups.
Key features along typical routes include Peanut Island, a small barrier island known for its pocket beaches, snorkeling patches, and a Cold War-era bunker that draws curious visitors. The Palm Beach Inlet marks the threshold to the Atlantic Ocean and offers a front-row seat to dramatic currents, passing freighters, and the skyline of Palm Beach. Through the Intracoastal you’ll pass manicured waterfront homes, moored superyachts, and shallow seagrass flats that support rays, juvenile fish, and shore birds.
Local operators emphasize flexibility: half-day and full-day options, customizable stops, and the freedom to swim, snorkel, or anchor for a picnic. For families, the PowerCat’s shallow draft and stability make water access easier for kids and older adults. For photographers and nature watchers, the changing light along the inlet and the contrast of turquoise shallows against white sand create vivid frames through the day.
Practical notes: bring reef-safe sunscreen, a soft-sided cooler, and footwear that grips on wet surfaces. Check tide and wind forecasts before booking; afternoons can develop onshore breezes. Peanut Island carries a small public-use fee and limited facilities, so plan water and shade needs accordingly.
Onboard crews typically provide a safety briefing, basic snorkeling gear for rent, and local tips about currents, wildlife, and the best lunch spots ashore. Many groups bring a playlist and a catered spread; some operators allow bartending. Sunset and moonlight cruises shift the mood, trading bright turquoise for metallic horizon light and bioluminescent hints on certain nights. Because tides and boat channels matter here, the captain’s local knowledge is the best shortcut to a smooth day.
This 49′ PowerCat is a straightforward way to experience Palm Beach County’s coastal character without the fuss of owning a boat. It’s especially appealing for groups who want a private, comfortable platform to swim, explore coastal history, and watch the shoreline transition from urban marina to open sea.
