The Peanut's Story
A one-of-a-kind vessel, a legendary island, and a mission to make Palm Beach waters accessible to everyone.
Born from a Love of Peanut Island
Peanut Island has been a hidden gem of Palm Beach County for generations — a 79-acre park surrounded by the Intracoastal Waterway, home to snorkeling reefs, sandy beaches, and even a Cold War-era presidential bunker. But getting there always required a boat, and not everyone had access to one.
The Glass-Bottom Peanut was built to change that. We designed a vessel that's as unique as the island it serves — peanut-shaped, glass-bottomed, and fully ADA accessible. Palm Beach County's first of its kind.
Whether you're a local who's never made it out to the island, a family looking for an unforgettable day on the water, or a visitor discovering South Florida for the first time — the Peanut is your ride.

One Peanut-Shaped Boat.
Zero Others Like It.
The Peanut isn't just a boat — it's a conversation starter. Its distinctive shape turns heads at every dock, and its glass bottom lets passengers peer into the living reef below without ever getting wet.
Designed with accessibility at its core, the Peanut is Palm Beach County's first fully ADA-accessible glass-bottom vessel. Wide decks and a completely flat, barrier-free boarding ramp mean wheelchair users and guests with mobility challenges can roll on and roll off with total ease — no steps, no lifts, no hassle. Every seat on board offers the same front-row glass-bottom view.

Safe Harbor Marina
100% Electric. Zero Compromise.
The Glass-Bottom Peanut runs on a fully electric motor — no diesel fumes, no engine roar, no fuel slicks on the water. Just clean, quiet cruising through one of South Florida's most treasured ecosystems.
Silent Electric Motor
Our zero-emission electric drive means no exhaust, no noise pollution, and no disruption to the marine life you came to see. Hear the water, not an engine.
Reef-Safe Operation
No fuel, no oil, no chemical runoff. Operating electrically protects the coral reefs, sea grass beds, and marine habitats that make Peanut Island so special.
Roll-On, Roll-Off Access
A flat, barrier-free boarding ramp means wheelchair users and guests with mobility challenges board and disembark independently — no steps, no lifts, no waiting.
What Is Peanut Island?
Just a short ride across the Intracoastal from Riviera Beach lies one of South Florida's best-kept secrets.
Snorkeling Reef
Crystal-clear waters surround the island, teeming with tropical fish, sea turtles, manatees, and vibrant coral. No dive certification needed.
Presidential History
Beneath the island sits a Cold War-era nuclear fallout shelter built for President Kennedy. History buffs and curious minds love the tour.
Beach & Picnic
Sandy beaches, shaded pavilions, and calm waters make Peanut Island the perfect family day out. Bring a cooler and stay all day.
Local Knowledge.
Genuine Passion.
Our USCG-licensed captain and crew are Palm Beach County locals who have spent their lives on these waters. They know where the sea turtles like to feed, which reefs are popping off, and the best spots to catch a sunset.
Every trip is narrated with real stories — the history of Peanut Island, the marine life below the glass, and the characters who've called these waters home. It's not just a boat ride. It's a guided experience.
Safety is our first priority. The Peanut is Coast Guard inspected, fully insured, and operated by professionals who take their passengers' wellbeing seriously — so you can relax and enjoy the ride.
Accessible. Eco-Friendly. Unforgettable.
We believe everyone deserves to experience the magic of Peanut Island — regardless of age, mobility, or background. And we believe the waters we cruise deserve to be protected. The Glass-Bottom Peanut exists to make both happen, one quiet electric trip at a time.
