Gulf Stream Boat Club offers incredible opportunities for fun and family-friendly adventures along Florida’s East Coast.
With access to stunning locations, here are awesome ideas for creating unforgettable boating experiences that are kid-friendly:
Where Should I Go?
There are many great spots for family fun. Amber, our Manager at Lighthouse Point, recommends heading to Lake Boca! This spot is a favorite destination among our members.
Kick off your adventure with a scenic oceanside cruise to Lake Boca, where crystal-clear waters invite you to snorkel, float on rafts, or simply relax. Wildlife sightings are a highlight, making it a treat for kids and adults alike.
For breathtaking views, head to the Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse, which is perfect for shelling and discovering sea glass treasures.
Amber recommends these other family-friendly favorites:
Peanut Island: An exceptional county park, located in the mouth of the inlet to the Port of Palm Beach. This is the perfect spot to anchor up for a day of family fun in the sun.
Beer Can Island: Located just North and West of the Boynton Inlet. This nice little sand bar is where you can enjoy clear waters.
Jupiter Sandbar: This popular spot is located near the Jupiter Inlet. At low tide, this location will be filled with numerous boaters enjoying the warm, shallow waters as they swim and relax.
Each destination offers something unique for memorable family outings!
What Should I Bring?
Planning ahead ensures a smooth and enjoyable day on the water!
Essentials: Don’t leave home without sunscreen, towels, and plenty of water to stay hydrated.
Activity Gear: Pack the right equipment for your plans—whether it’s fishing rods, snorkeling gear, or nets for kids to catch small marine creatures.
Relaxation Items: If you’re opting for a laid-back outing, bring rafts or floats for a leisurely day on the water.
Snacks and Meals: Pack a family-friendly picnic or grab a to-go meal from nearby waterfront restaurants.
A little preparation goes a long way!
What Should I Do?
Our team recommends the following:
Float and Snorkel: Relax on rafts or explore vibrant underwater life at nearby sandbars.
Fishing Fun: Try your luck catching fish or feed tarpon and snook right in the marina for an up-close experience.
Interactive Exploration: Bring a net to catch small fish or crabs—kids love the thrill of discovery!
