This is a great thread on things to do and places to eat in Palm Beach just north of Boca.

thank you will check it out

I've never done it myself but there are cruises for drinks and/or a meal out of the intracoastal dock next to Charlie's Crab House in Deerfield Beach. I think the ones out of West Palm or Ft Lauderdale might be nicer but Deerfield is quite close-really just next to Boca.

If you go to Palm Beach, I think the Norton Gallery there is a small gem of a museum if you're interested in art.

thank you... is Rockmore???? out of Deerfield Beach?

I really don't know the name of the boat company but on doing a search, that looks like the location. It is in a shopping mall where there are several restaurants I like. The Cove is a casual place with tables outside on the intracoastal. I like lunch there and see the boats coming and going right there. Also in that mall is Val de Loire a decent French rest. owned by a French family who used to run the French Cafe. The crab rest. there (next to the Cove) is called Pal's Crab House. Haven't been in a while.

bumping for more help
