Jetty's owner just bought that marina to the west side of Jetty's for like 7MM and is building a tiki bar type restaurant. He owns two of the finest pieces of waterfront in town....Nice part is after eating there you can walk 500 ft east to Square Grouper to finish off the night!

Jetty's is good, your other recommendation of River House is ok (too many old people, salad bar is too Ruby Tuesday-like for a $100 dinner for two type place IMHO).

I would need to pick 3 of those area's as our "over night" stops. However we can stop anywhere along the way for food or atsmospher.

FYI even in the ICW from Stuart to WPB is less than 2 hours travel time.... Run outside and you can do it in less than 30 minutes. South of Stuart to the Jupiter line is a lot of no wake/idle/manatee zones. Jupiter is 1/2 30 MPH and 1/2 no wake/slow. WPB is 1/2 and 1/2 also.

You also pass right between Burt Reynold's house and Tiger's new place on the ICW. They are across the ICW from each other.

do either have a bar? what would be the better choice of the 2 if they are both available?

from the web sites, it looks like JPM may be a little fancier with no bar, and BR a little more laid back with a tiki bar?

Jupiter Pointe has Wylder's attached (pool w/restaurant bar) and Blowing Rocks has Tiki 52 attached....links earlier in thread. I suspect Jupiter Pointe won't want live aboards (it is a brand new 10MM+ rack storage place) but it does have a few in water slips. Pool is small but nice, food is good, drinks are pricey.

Blowing Rocks has dozens of in water slips and is more of a locals/laid back place. Tiki 52 is always packed.

Note: both places are 500 ft from Jupiter Waterfront Inn.

Sebastian and Jupiter seem locked up, the places above fit us well and have space, thank you very much JS and Twin IO!

Lastly, which would be a better choice for night/day 2, Stuart or Fort Pierce
