Never..... (my opinion only)

If you're in Lauderdale go to Bahia Cabana. If you're further north like Delray Beach go to the Banana Boat.

Ok, we are staying at the Bahia Mar marina for three nights, it looks like a pretty nice place ??? What do you think.

Will check out those others places. What days are good to go to those places??

We are putting in at Ft Pierce Inlet and ending up in Key Laergo, probably gonna come down the ICW alot, the wife like to sightsee.

Bahia Mar is good and you are 'up front' for Las Olas and Lauderdale beach front. Easy run down to the Keys too.

If you come down the intracoastal stay inside to Palm Beach. Forget going out Jupiter Inlet unless you want to see "humpty-dumpy" take a great fall. (sorry, had too!) Pretty Nasty inlet if not perfect conditions.

Palm Beach south on the inside is ONE SLOW RIDE. Go out if it's good water. Stop in Hillsboro Inlet and bear left to the ramp. THe Active Thunder courtesy shuttle will pick you up from the ramp @ 4:00 for happy hour and take you back to your boat at 6:30 to continue your adventure southbound.

Anyting else? Need the tide schedule??

Someone on here should volunteer to jump aboard and be your tour director/guide.

Jupiter inlet is pretty straight forward. Boynton is the treacherous one. Run straight out Jupiter and once you pass the jetty veer off to the south (at low tide veering north may put you in 3 ft of water).... http://www.evsjupiter.com/main.htm

Palm Beach inlet (officially called Lake Worth) is deep (35 ft ++) and straight forward. Boynton and Boca Raton are ok with local knowledge.
