The sun leans low over Flagler Drive as the catamaran slips from the Clematis Street docks and the city’s shoreline unspools — a mix of 125 years of brick-and-glass history and the white facades of Palm Beach mansions. Guests settle into padded seats or stretch out on the bow nets while the Atlantic tugs the hull forward and the skyline takes on a softer edge.

The sun leans low over Flagler Drive as the catamaran slips from the Clematis Street docks and the city’s shoreline unspools — a mix of 125 years of brick-and-glass history and the white facades of Palm Beach mansions. Guests settle into padded seats or stretch out on the bow nets while the Atlantic tugs the hull forward and the skyline takes on a softer edge.
This two-hour cruise traces the geography and social history of the inlet: downtown West Palm Beach’s turn-of-the-century architecture gives way to the manicured coastal estates of Palm Beach Island and the docks where mega-yachts bob like private islands. Offshore, the shallow reefs and sandbars that shape local currents create calm pockets for snorkeling at Peanut Island; on that island sits a Cold War–era bunker linked to President Kennedy’s security planning during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Culturally, the ride frames how Florida’s east coast evolved — from Henry Flagler’s railroad-driven boom to modern waterfront redevelopment — and it’s common to spot dolphins inspecting the wake or brown pelicans hunting the shallows.
Practical guidance is simple: book the two-hour evening departure, pre-order food at least four hours ahead, and arrive early to board and choose a view. Bring a light windbreaker for the cooler open-deck evening air and sunscreen for daytime sailings; non-slip shoes help on wet decks. The operator accommodates all fitness levels and allows strollers and infants (laps required). Expect a relaxed, accessible outing that’s equal parts skyline tour and coastal evening cruise.
