Nautical Ventures encourages you to plan ahead. Check the weather, surf, and tide conditions before you paddle to Peanut Island.
Voted one of the Top 10 snorkeling spots in Florida, Peanut Island is also a top spot for kayakers & paddle boarders. Following a massive redevelopment project, everyone can now enjoy all the island has to offer. There are campgrounds, picnic spots, a brick footpath around the island, bathroom & shower facilities, swimming beaches, a snorkeling area, and JFK’s former nuclear fallout shelter turned museum.
The Best Location
Peanut Island, a longtime local favorite, is just a short paddle from our Riviera Beach Marina location. Whether you’re experienced or a novice, young or old, our location provides easy access giving you more time to explore the island and less time getting there.
The Best Tours
We offer private guided tours that give you with an all access pass to everything on the island. Be it the Maritime Museum, the Kennedy Bunker, Historic Coast Guard Station, or Peanut Island Park; soak it all in with one of our knowledgeable guides. Rates include all equipment, instruction, and the guidance of an experienced pro.
The Best Reviews
Excellent staff! Great day trip!
This was a great experience. The staff are very helpful and easy going. The location is great. We had 4 hours of paddle boarding/kayaking and plenty of time to circle Peanut Island, eat lunch, walk the island, hang at the beach. We would definitely rent from this location again. Highly recommend this experience and Nautical Ventures!

Paddle boarding success!
I had a great day paddle boarding to and around peanut island. I booked online for the day and the price was significantly less than the other rental place on Riviera beach marina. The staff was helpful and friendly! I definitely recommend Nautical Ventures and plan to go back!
