WHERE TO BOAT
From Jupiter Pointe Boat Club you can explore a variety of popular cruising destinations right outside our back door. We are ideally located just minutes from the Jupiter Inlet, the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf Stream offers an excellent gateway to some of the best fishing in South Florida. Or cruise the Intracoastal and view the mansions on Jupiter Island or take the boat to one of the many protected coves and sandbars nearby that make great anchorages. With a variety of vessels to choose from you can enjoy any number of watersport activities like Wakeboard or Tubing along the ICW.
Recomended Sandbars & Anchorages
Tequesta Sandbar
Located on the Intracoastal Waterway just north of Indiantown Road. Dolphins frequent this area. Luxury condominiums and home line the waterway, interspersed with vacant land.
The Loxahatchee River Sandbar (AKA Jupiter Sandbar / Coney Island) — By Water 26.948188. -80.100117
The sandbar provides views of the nice homes along the Loxahatchee River, bridges over the Intercoastal Waterway & Jupiter Lighthouse. There is good snorkeling near the east end, or snorkel near mangrove island to see a variety of sea life.
The Hobe Sound Pipe Crossing Anchorage — (Green Marker #44 and Red Marker #43)
Look for the "Pipe Crossing" sign on the sandbar to the west and the white New England style house protruding from Jupiter Island to the east. Anchoring here affords spectacular views of the mansions on Jupiter Island to the east. To the west is unspoiled preserve.
Pecks Lake — By Water 27.114223, -80.142464
Here you can beach the boat on the intracoastal side of the barrier island and walk 150 feet through the dunes to a pristine 5 mile long oceanfront beach. There are no buildings, roads are cars on this unspoiled beach, only access is by boat.
Catos Bridge — Lat: 26.952210881431917 Lng:-80.0791592443542
Along the west side (mainland), just under the bridge around the western support, is the best place to snorkel. The eastern side of the bridge along Jupiter Inlet Colony is much shallower, mainly consisting of sea grass and sand, and much less to see, but not a bad place to lounge and explore with a kayak.
