Outdoors & Travel Meetup of the Palm Beaches

West Palm Beach, FL

Outdoors & Travel Meetup of the Palm Beaches
This group is for outdoors lovers and travelers who don’t want to wait on their friends to finally say “yes” to get out to enjoy the great outdoors and see the world. Life is too short and the world is too big! **The outdoors events in this group are member-driven** so if you’d like to host a Meetup in your area (i.e. hike, snorkel, take a walk/jog, play pickleball, go for a picnic, etc), feel free to let me know and I'll help you get it set up in the group! The trips in this group are usually 90% solo travelers but everyone is welcome, female/male, solo/couple/friends, straight/LGBTQIA+! So let’s travel together with fun, like-minded travelers! If you have an open mind and are kind to fellow travelers, you will fit in perfectly on these trips! **NOTE:** The people on these trips are from all over the States but you’ll always be connected with people from the same city on a trip so you can meet up face to face and get to know your future travel buddies prior to the trip. You’ll also be connected to the whole group via email prior to the trip so you can virtually get to know those that are from different areas. On average, the people on each trip are 90% solo travelers but it’s hard to predict the exact demographic for each trip so please keep this in mind. Feel free to join the Facebook group to connect with past travelers on these trips, see pictures, ask questions, funny travel memes, travel-related articles, etc.: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/613025845523107](https://www.facebook.com/groups/613025845523107) The trips in this group are put on by a tour company called Globe Drifters and they focus on small group trips geared towards solo travelers with the mission of giving new meaning to travel by putting the human experience at the heart of their trips. The groups are small, usually with 12 people maximum per trip and about 90% of everyone on each trip are solo travelers so you’re not stuck being the odd man out on trips with mostly couples. You’ll have the best of both worlds, solo travel with the security of a small group of other solo travelers for some company on your adventure! To contact Globe Drifters directly, you can email [info@globe-drifters.com](mailto:info@globe-drifters.com).

Palm Beach Ocean Adventures

West Palm Beach, FL

Palm Beach Ocean Adventures
Welcome to the Palm Beach Ocean Adventure “Meetup” Group, the ultimate community for ocean enthusiasts and water sport lovers! As a member, you'll have the privilege of joining us on our brand new flagship vessel, the Saxdor 320 GTO Adventure Boat. Our group is open to anyone aged 21 and older who shares a passion for the ocean, water sports, and exploration. We thrive on adventure boating, swimming, paddleboarding, snorkeling, and dining at all of the waterside restaurants in the area, all of which form the core of our activities. However, it's important to note that each adventure is unique and can be influenced by various tidal, oceanic, and atmospheric conditions. Boating is our means of reaching the best spots for our activities, whether it's traversing intercoastal and coastal waters or embarking on sightseeing tours between cities. If we're fortunate enough to encounter dolphins and sea turtles, we'll eagerly follow them, making the most of the captivating experience. We also love visiting sandbars and islands, allowing us to wade in the crystal-clear waters and snorkel during high tide. Swimming is an exhilarating part of our adventures. You can take the plunge into the great blue when the boat is anchored and the engine is off, but please consult with the captain beforehand. Since ocean swimming can be physically demanding, it's crucial to be confident in your swimming ability. If you're not an experienced ocean swimmer, you must request or accept a life jacket or a USCG approved personal flotation device from the Captain. Paddle-boarding is another fun activity that we engage in. If you haven't tried it before, this is your chance! However, keep in mind that you should be able to paddle-board in calm waters such as in the inter-coastal or estuaries before attempting it in the ocean. Prior to using one of our onboard paddle-boards, please inform the captain about your paddle-boarding abilities. For snorkeling, it's expected that everyone brings their own equipment. We recommend having a diving mask, snorkel, and fins for ocean snorkeling. A dry snorkel, which doesn't allow water inside, is particularly beneficial. Feel free to use your preferred equipment, but don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. Please remember that we are not professional guides or instructors, but a group of outdoor enthusiasts seeking a good time on the water. We help and support each other whenever possible. By participating in any of our events, you assume full responsibility for your personal health, safety, and equipment. Ensure you are physically and mentally prepared for the activity and have suitable gear. If at anytime you have any questions, please reach out to us, and we'll be glad to assist you. We strongly encourage all members to suggest activities, and we welcome organizers from other groups who wish to collaborate or help us plan events. Additionally, if you're interested in hosting an event for our group, we warmly welcome your input! As a member, we expect your participation and willingness to lend a hand when needed, whether it's during boarding, underway, docking, anchoring, handling water toys, or demonstrating snorkeling and paddle-boarding techniques. Punctuality is essential for the success of our adventures. Please arrive 15-20 minutes before the scheduled departure time, allowing you to park, gather your belongings, and meet us on time at the dock. The boat will not wait for more than 5 minutes beyond the designated departure time, so please be prompt. To conserve space and weight onboard, we request that you travel light. Each member is allowed to bring only one small carry-on item containing essential items such as a beach towel, cotton long sleeve, dry shorts/pants, wallet/purse, phone, and sunscreen. Only flip-flops or water shoes are allowed on board. Shoes, sneakers, and hard bottom sandals are not permitted on the deck of the boat. Before stepping aboard, please ensure that your feet, flip-flops, or water shoes are clean by rinsing them in the water. This helps maintain the pristine condition of the boat's deck, which will be freshly cleaned for your arrival. Courtesy towards your fellow adventurers is of utmost importance. Remember that you'll be sharing the boat with others, so please be respectful, considerate, and mindful at all times. The captain reserves the right to address any inappropriate behavior and may cancel your passage if conduct does not meet the expected standards. Such cancellation will result in automatic removal from the group. Lastly, we greatly appreciate donations from our members to help cover the high costs associated with running this meetup. Your contributions play a vital role in sustaining our community and allowing us to continue organizing exciting adventures on the water. We are thrilled to have you as part of our Boat Adventure "Meetup" Group. Prepare yourself for unforgettable experiences, new friendships, and a deep connection with the ocean. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to us. Let's create amazing memories on the water! Fair winds and following seas,
