About US

Your Captain And Crew

Captain Ricardo and First Mate Jessica were both raised in and around Jupiter, and their love for these waterways runs deep. They created Ohana Cruises to share that connection with others, not only through fun family adventures, but by helping guests of all ages learn about the wildlife, ecosystems, and natural beauty that make our local waters so special.


Ricardo and Jessica designed and built their custom 30-foot pontoon boat with their own family of four and their two dogs in mind. When they are not out on the water with guests, you can often find the Ohana family snorkeling and wading through local sandbars, searching for starfish, collecting seashells, and keeping an eye out for dolphins and manatees.


At Ohana Cruises, we believe the best memories are made outdoors with the people you love. We also believe that introducing children and families to our local waterways helps inspire the next generation to appreciate, respect, and protect the wildlife and environment that call Jupiter home.

Our Boat

 Our custom 30-foot pontoon boat is truly a labor of love. Sourced in Kentucky, Ricardo and his family spent six months taking her down to the studs and rebuilding every detail with comfort, fun, and family time in mind.


The Ohana Boat is designed to make your day on the water effortless and memorable. Enjoy spacious, comfortable seating, a private restroom, a surfboard-style teak table, and built-in shade from stem to stern. Two stocked coolers keep refreshments close at hand, while the oversized Lily Pad offers the perfect spot for kids to play and adults to float, relax, and soak up the Florida sunshine.


We’ve also stocked the boat with nearly everything your family needs for an adventure on the water, including beach sand toys,  frisbee, footballs, pool noodles, snorkeling gear, a cast net, and fishing rods. Just bring your crew and get ready to make some memories
