How to get the most out of your boat

Whether you're spending time on the Florida coast with your family or relaxing by the water with friends, one of the most fun things to do in the ocean is venturing out to the sandbar. Here, you'll get the best of both worlds with land-type fun in the water. If you're looking for things to do on sandbars, Nautical Ventures has a huge inventory of activities and toys to keep people of all ages entertained while they spend time on a sandbar beach.

Stand-up paddle boards are easily one of the unique and fun ways to spend some time on the water.  They have been around for quite some time, but the Hobie Mirage Eclipse is no ordinary SUP.  Designed with adventurous beginners in mind, the Mirage Eclipse is a “pedal” board that allows you to pedal your way to paradise!  The board also features a centrally-placed set of handlebars for balance

and steering all in one convenient package. As this SUP is designed for beginners, it has a wide footprint in the water for balance.   For the most fun, hit the water with some friends and wander about the coastlines.  Pedal to nearby historic Peanut Island, accessible only by water. Exploring with a SUP is one of the most fun things to do in Palm Beach!

Mercury started as a small machine shop in 1939 and has been making world-class engines ever since. This brand gives boaters the best of both worlds. Mercury continues to stand by the main engineering principles that made them successful, but they also know when to leave tradition in their wake. The brand constantly innovates and is always finding ways to increase their already legendary toughness and durability.

Imagine… taking your favorite kayak or stand up paddleboard out for the day and easily converting it to be self-propelled. Or how about a way to swim underwater using the same device to propel you through water. This is entirely possible with the Bixpy Jet, the World’s first and only portable handheld water propulsion device that is adaptable for multiple watersport platforms. This innovative and intuitive technology brings the possibility of new adventures for both first time and experienced water lovers alike and offers the chance of exploring new places with ease.  Bixpy offers multiple accessories to attach to stand up paddleboards, kayaks, as well as an option for free swimming.

Co-Founders Nina Anderson and Clay Builder both saw the need for a boating leisure platform where guests could relax close to the water on a floating island of comfort, or safely dock their jet-skis while enjoying water sports off their yacht. Their aim was to produce a premium quality platform of superior durability and multi-functionality, that would be stable enough to walk on. So, while working together on a Mediterranean based motor yacht, Nina and Clay came up with a brilliant configuration and shortly thereafter NautiBuoy Marine was born.

Back in the day, buying a yacht tender was easy. It was more of a utilitarian item designed to fit in a specific place on the boat, used for crew and passenger transport between the ship and the shore. To a yacht, it was a commodity, traded in every few years for a new model. These days, tenders have evolved to offer many innovative features into many varying designs. New technologies have redefined the tender and what it means to the modern yacht owner.
