The boat slips away from Waterway Park and the world narrows to a ribbon of glassy water. Palmettos and mangroves lean toward the channel, and the Jupiter Lighthouse—white and slightly weathered—cuts a clean silhouette against the sky. On a gentle two-hour loop you move with the current, watching waterfront estates give way to salt flats where turtles climb logs and dolphins arc through the inlet.
