5.0 Florida Shark Diving (828 reviews)
- So many bull sharks!
Shark Diving

Brought my shark obsessed girlfriend out as a birthday present. We went out with Sophia and Captain Austin who made sure we had a fun ride out to see the sharks. Immediately saw 4+ bull sharks right below us when we stopped. Sophia hopped right in followed closely by our small group (2 others along with my 2 person party). We saw probably 8 bull sharks over the course of the hour and ended the dive with a feeding from the boat where we really got to see the sharks feed and come a bit out of the water. 10/10 experience I was nervous booking (worried we wouldn’t see sharks, worried it would be a huge group of people, etc.) but all the previous reviews were 100% correct. I’d recommend Florida shark diving to anyone regardless of your interest level in the creatures. It’s truly once in a lifetime. See more..
5.0 Jupiter Scuba Diving (806 reviews)
- Great Drift Diving on a Great Charter
Saturday: 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM Scuba & Snorkelling

Jupiter Scuba Diving on the Kayalami is always amazing. My wife and I go to West Palm Beach/Jupiter area of Florida several times a year for scuba diving. We always make sure that we book a charter or two on the Kayalami. The crew and captain are always top notch professional in creating a safe environment while also making the dives unbelievably fun. All of the dive guides are great at finding everything interesting under the sea that is in the dive area. When we first started diving on the Jupiter charter we were lucky enough to be paired up with Anne. Now anytime we bring someone that hasn't been diving in the area with us, we always try to get Anne as a private guide. She is either the best or luckiest (I think simply the best) at finding the most amazing things to see. I highly recommend Jupiter Scuba Diving if you want to have a safe and fun diving experience.

5.0 Jupiter Water Tours (377 reviews)
- Totally worth it
Saturday: 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM Boat Tours • Private Tours

So we booked this rour last minute since another tour we were on was canceled because of the weather. It was an amazing 2 hours. Jenine was an amazing tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about the area and the mansion on Jupiter island. Captain Colin kept us on track and it wasn't a bumpy ride even though it was super windy. We definitely learned a lot and will be doing this again next time we're in town. If you're not a wind person I recommend sitting under the captains perch because it's mostly closed in. You can walk to the front of the boat and stand for the tour if you would like and still hear the tour guide. If that's not your thing there are plenty of seats. They provide drinks, no alcohol, and snack so that was nice to hand. I highly recommend the 4pm Jupiter Island tour. See more..
5.0 Blue Heron Drift Fishing (361 reviews)
- That was a really big shark
Saturday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Adrenaline & Extreme Tours • Fishing Charters & Tours

This was my third trip out this year. While Kyle, Solomon and the rest of the crew are working their butts off I have yet to catch a fish (okay there was that Remora) the new guy Solomon is a great kid and an asset to the crew of the Blue Huron II. I had a problem with my own reel and he helped me fix it while the boat was moving to another fishing spot. Thank you for the help Solomon. It’s a 30 mile drive for me to go up to Jupiter for this boat but it gets to the fishing spots quicker and that’s what it’s all about after all. See more..

5.0 Shark Addicts (304 reviews)
- Bucket List Experience
Saturday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Shark Diving

This crew will make sure you have an unforgettable experience - no matter your skill level. They do an amazing job at making sure everyone is safe. Their passion for the ocean is inspiring and seen throughout the whole trip. Cameron does an incredible job at engaging the sharks and Mickey does a fantastic job at capturing the memories. The boat is also a very comfortable stable boat and the gear that they provide is comfortable and high quality. The boat is always close if someone in the group would like to take a break but still part of the action. I highly recommend doing the photo/video package, this is an experience youre going to want to look back at for years to come. Great work guys, looking to going back out soon! See more..
5.0 PonTiki (244 reviews)
- Relaxing day on the water
Saturday: 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM Boat Tours

Our family of 5 took a 3 hour private sandbar cruise on the Pau Hana. The cruise was the perfect length, giving us plenty of time to see the sights and also stopping at a local sandbar for a dip. Captain Kirk was awesome - personable, experienced operating the boat and knowledgeable about local landmarks and history. The boat was clean, comfortable and well-stocked with beverages. This was our second Pontiki cruise and we will definitely cruse with them again. If you are looking to for a "chillaxing" time on the water I would highly recommend Pontiki and Captain Kirk.

5.0 Salty Divers (237 reviews)
- Excellent Dive Operator!
Shark Diving

What an amazing day diving with Salty Divers. I brought my daughter, who hasn’t been diving for over a year so I really wanted to go with a dive operator that has gotten rave reviews by all the local divers I have met diving in Jupiter over the last several months, and wow…spot on! Anna is beyond calm, competent, and just wonderful to lead a group of divers. We had at least 7-10 Bull Sharks on every dive plus a few Lemons showed up, add in great visibility, warm water and what more could a diver ask for, nothing. Lunch was delicious and just a great day. My daughter was relaxed and loved it..no issues and she had a very rememberable experience…so did I. I have logged in over 115 dives this year and this day will go down as one of my best day’s diving this year. I will be diving again soon with Salty Divers. See more..
5.0 Scuba Works (181 reviews)
- Excellent Experience
Saturday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Scuba & Snorkelling

I have dove with this company 4-5 times in the last 6 months, and each experience has been very good. Captain Kenny was friendly and flexible with where customers wanted to go. Zach and Kayla did a phenomenal job explaining the dive sites and generally working to be as helpful as possible. Zach even took and shared some video of my first pole-spearing of lionfish, which is a great memory. I highly recommend them. You should be aware there is a sign on the boat that says, "Standard Tip" is $10 a tank/person, which may put off some people. See more..

4.5 Roger Dean Stadium (564 reviews)
- Fun Spring Training Venue
Saturday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Arenas & Stadiums

Nice Spring Training Venue! We tried out the Chido Beach Club which included food and non-alcoholic drinks. The seating had a good view of the practice and action on the first base side, but our backs were in the direct sun for the afternoon game. The tables are 4 seats per table. The food service app was not working properly on our first day and the servers were overwhelmed for demands from spectators for their unfilled orders. The second day the app worked properly, so that does not seem to be an ongoing issue. The food is basic menu of hamburger, cheeseburger, hotdog, chips, etc. The second day the Cool Cassidy Zone had not been reserved, and we were able to go up there for a cool, breezy, shady view to enjoy the last half of the game. The park announcer speakers were clear and easy to hear from both locations. There were some fun give aways and activities for the crowd during the breaks in play. Overall a nice day! Check the weather before you go and pack the sunscreen for sure! See more..
