Boats along the Intracoastal Waterway in Jupiter, Florida

Things to Do Guide

On the Water in Jupiter

Jupiter is a boating town at heart — here's how to get out on the inlet, the river, and the open ocean.

You can't really understand Jupiter from dry land. The town is wrapped around the Loxahatchee River, the Intracoastal, and the Jupiter Inlet, and getting on the water — even for an hour — is the fastest way to see why people love it here. You don't need to own a boat, either: rentals, guided trips, and charters make it easy whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned angler.

Below are the best ways to get out, pulled live from our things-to-do directory — from calm-water kayak and paddleboard rentals to deep-sea fishing charters and boat rentals for a day at the sandbar.

New to it? Start calm

If it's your first time, a guided kayak or paddleboard tour on the river is the gentlest intro — flat water, lots of wildlife, and no experience needed. Ready for more? Half-day boat rentals get you to the sandbar, and offshore charters handle everything for a serious day of fishing. Always check the marine forecast and bring more water and sunscreen than you think you need.
