Private Family Boat Charters in West Palm Beach, FL

A family boat rental in West Palm Beach is a private, captained charter where parents, kids and grandparents spend the day swimming, snorkeling and cruising together. Palm Beach Charters takes families to Peanut Island, calm sandbars and the Palm Beach waterfront on boats for 6 to 13 guests. Rates start at $250 per hour, and you set the pace. See our Peanut Island tours.

A Private Boat Day for the Whole Family

Kids can swim and look for fish, adults can relax in the shade, and your captain drives the boat. You choose when to swim, eat and head back, which makes it easy to plan around naps.

Things Families Love to Do on the Water

Visit Peanut Island: clear, shallow water and a sandy shoreline make it a favorite for families and nature lovers.
Snorkel near the reef: try reef snorkeling suited to beginners and experienced snorkelers, with snorkel gear available on several boats.
Swim at a sandbar: anchor in shallow water where kids can splash and float, such as the Jupiter Sandbar near the Jupiter Inlet.
Go island hopping: pair Peanut Island with Munyon Island at John D. MacArthur Beach State Park for a calm second stop.
Paddleboard and spot wildlife: many boats carry paddleboards or a floating island, and guests have spotted dolphins on our trips.
See the sights: cruise past the Palm Beach mansions or to the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse.
Try fishing: add time for a family fishing charter with gear for first-timers.

Planning Your Family Charter

Choose a trip length. Two to four hours works well for most families. Shorter trips suit toddlers, and longer trips leave time for an island stop.
Share ages when you book. We plan the route and make sure properly sized life jackets are on board for every child.
Pack for the sun. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, hats, towels, a change of clothes, water and snacks. Our what to bring on a yacht charter guide has a full list.

Safety for Kids on the Water

Your captain chooses calm anchorages and watches the weather throughout the trip. Children should wear life jackets while the boat is underway, and Florida law requires it for children under 6 on boats under 26 feet. If weather makes conditions unsafe, your charter is rescheduled or refunded.
