Jupiter Water Tours FAQs
Where does the boat depart from?
The boat (Kyalami) departs from the Castaways Marina at Square Grouper Tiki Bar in sunny Jupiter, Florida. The address is:
1111 Love Street
Jupiter, Florida 33477
You may drop off guests at the front door. If you need handicap parking, you may park in the Square Grouper lot. Otherwise, the Square Grouper asks that you park in Jupiter Public Parking on A1A next to Schooners.
Where does the boat go on the tour?
The boat goes past the world famous Jupiter Lighthouse and up the intracoastal along Jupiter Island, home to the rich, famous, and infamous!
How long is the tour?
We take you on a 2 hour guided tour of Florida’s intracoastal waterway. The first hour is narrated. Then we rock the boat with your favorite tunes the second hour, all the way back to the Square Grouper.
What time does the tour leave?
We offer one tour in the afternoon that leaves at 4:00PM and returns at 6:00PM. Occasionally, we do have a 1pm tour. But that’s only when we can’t go diving in the morning!
When should I arrive at the Castaways Marina?
We start checkin 15 minutes prior to departure but, we suggest you plan to arrive before that especially on the weekend tours. There are bridges in the area that can delay your trip when they go up.
Can I bring my own food and drinks on board?
Yes. We have light snacks, water, and sodas available at no additional charge. However, we encourage you to bring along your own snacks, a meal from your favorite local restaurant, a bottle of wine, or your choice of other non-alcoholic and/or adult beverages.
Can I book a private tour?
Yes, you can book the Kyalami for anything from a private romantic tour for two, a ladies night out wine tasting cruise (BYOB), birthdays, or anniversary parties, to office parties, bachelor and bachelorette parties, Christmas parties… or any other reason you can think of to just get out on the water and have a fabulous time!
Am I allowed to tip?
Yes. The crew loves what they do and endeavors to ensure you have an amazing cruise. Your generosity is most appreciated and all but the Captain work for gratuities.
Can I bring children?
Absolutely! Jupiter Water Tours is a family friendly boat and all are welcome. Please remember, you are responsible for maintaining control of the little ones for their general safety.
Can I bring my pet?
Yes, but… We ask that you limit pets to certified service animals only. We have a place to go potty for humans, not so much for animals.
What Happens if it rains?
The weather here in South Florida can be very unpredictable on days we expect rain. If we have to cancel due to inclement weather i.e. lightening, thunder, and downpours that last the entire tour, we will cancel the tour and provide refunds or rebook you as necessary. If it is going to be a quick passing shower, the show must go on! We try to make a decision up to 3hrs before the tour.
