New Avalon Funship: Jupiter Double-Decker Pontoon Charter with Slide

Board the New Avalon Funship in Jupiter, Florida, and trade sidewalks for salt spray on a 28-foot double-decker pontoon designed for groups up to twelve. This private charter runs from three to eight hours along Jupiter’s coastal waterways, offering elevated views from the upper deck, shady lounging below, and a built-in slide that makes every stop feel like a party. The meeting point is provided after booking; the boat operates out of Jupiter, Florida in the United States.

Guided by a local captain, born and raised in Jupiter, the trip blends easy cruising with deliberate local knowledge: where the sandbars sit at low tide, which coves warm with sun, and the safest approaches to Peanut Island for anchoring and swimming. Key features are the broad coastal sandbars perfect for wading, clear shallow flats ideal for floating, and the mangrove-lined intracoastal fingers that frame many of the stops—areas that attract baitfish, seabirds, and frequent bottlenose dolphin sightings.

What makes this outing special is the combination of a party-ready layout and a captain who knows the waterways intimately. Rather than a generic rental, the New Avalon Funship is a guided small-group experience: discover sheltered anchorages for picnicking, swim holes with sandy bottoms, and photo-friendly shorelines. The upper deck provides an elevated vantage for coastal panoramas while the lower deck supplies shade and social space; the slide keeps the energy high for bachelor and bachelorette groups, families, or mixed-age celebrations.

Practical notes: the vessel complies with US Coast Guard limits and carries required safety gear; trips are weather-dependent and capped at 12 passengers for comfort and compliance. Weekday charters run within an 8 AM–6 PM window while weekend bookings use preset morning or afternoon slots, with custom schedules possible by request.

For visitors who want both celebration and place-based context, this charter is a fast, friendly way to encounter Jupiter’s nearshore ecology—seagrass patches, mangrove edges, and the marine life that visits shallow flats—without needing advanced boating experience. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a cooler, towels, and a sense of adventure; the captain will point out the best tide windows and shallow spots for snorkeling or floating. Whether you’re chasing an easy day of swimming off a slide, scouting low-tide textures for photos, or hosting a small privatized party afloat, the New Avalon Funship turns a Florida coastline outing into a personal, locally guided experience.
