Boca Raton Boating Guide

Things To Do on the Water in Boca Raton

There's more to do on the water in Boca Raton than just go to the beach. Here are the experiences locals actually book — most of which a one-day boat rental unlocks completely.

Anchor at Lake Boca's Sandbar

The headline experience. Turquoise water, anchored pontoons, music on the water. The Saturday social scene is iconic; mid-week is calm and almost private.

Sunset Cruise the Intracoastal

Late-afternoon Intracoastal is glassy and the golden light is unbeatable. 90 minutes before sunset is the sweet spot.

Cap's Place Lunch By Boat

A boat-only Florida institution north of Hillsboro Inlet. Old Florida vibe and serious seafood.

Hillsboro Lighthouse Photo Loop

The most iconic landmark on this stretch of South Florida coast. Best photographed from the Intracoastal side.

Casual Inshore Fishing

Snapper, jack, ladyfish, and snook around bridge pilings and mangroves. Pontoons make great family fishing platforms.

Hidden Anchor Coves

Quiet spots between Hillsboro Inlet and Lake Boca where the crowd disappears. Ask us — we'll send you to the day's best one.
