Boating isn’t just about safety — it’s about sharing the water with others. Good etiquette keeps the waterways enjoyable for everyone, from fellow boaters to paddleboarders to swimmers. A little courtesy goes a long way, and it’s part of what makes boating in Palm Beach so special.
Beginner Tip: No Blasting Music Near Snorkelers
It’s tempting to crank up the tunes, but if you’re anchored near snorkelers or swimmers, keep the volume down. Sound carries on the water, and blasting music can disturb those trying to enjoy the peaceful underwater world.
Intermediate Tip: Don’t Block Channels When Anchored
When it’s time to drop anchor, make sure you’re not blocking a marked channel or boat ramp. Other boaters need space to pass through safely. Anchoring just outside the channel keeps the water flowing smoothly for everyone.
Pro Tip: Wave & Be Friendly — It’s the Palm Beach Way
Experienced boaters know that a simple wave, nod, or smile creates a welcoming vibe on the water. Whether you’re passing a mega-yacht or a kayak, friendliness is part of the Palm Beach boating culture — and it makes the day brighter for everyone.
✅ Captain’s Reminder: Courtesy costs nothing, but it makes every boating trip more enjoyable.
