Blueline's DIY Paddle Party is Back at Guanabanas
If you thought Labor Day Weekend in Jupiter couldn't get any more entertaining, think again.
After an unforgettable debut in 2025, Whatever Floats Your Boat is back for its second annual event, and we're expecting even bigger boats, crazier ideas, and even more laughs on the water.
On Saturday, September 5, 2026, the waterways outside Guanabanas will once again transform into the most creative paddle party in Florida. Sign up for Whatever Floats Your Boat 2026, and start building!
The Paddleboard Event Where Creativity Wins
Forget sleek race boards.
Forget expensive boats.
This event is all about imagination.
Teams spend weeks dreaming up homemade paddle crafts using everything from barrels and pool noodles to PVC pipe, coolers, inflatables, and plenty of duct tape. Then they launch their creations into the Jupiter waterways to see if their masterpiece can survive the course... and maybe even take home a trophy.
Last year's event was packed with unforgettable creations.
One crew rolled in aboard a floating John Deere tractor.
Moana sailed through the course aboard a handmade canoe complete with a custom sail.
Kids built surprisingly fast boats from barrels, ice baths, and whatever else they could convince their parents to let them use.
Others simply embraced the chaos, showing up in outrageous costumes with squirt guns ready for battle.
It wasn't just a paddle race.
It became a floating block party.
Squirt Guns, Costumes & Controlled Chaos
The docks outside Guanabanas turned into one giant waterfront celebration.
Spectators lined the seawall cheering as homemade boats paddled through a gauntlet of friendly squirt gun attacks.
Some boats were built for speed.
Some were built for laughs.
Some barely floated.
Every single one made the afternoon unforgettable.
Whether you crossed the finish line or took an unexpected swim, everyone left with a story.
Think You Can Build Something Better?
That's exactly what we're hoping.
The bar has officially been set after our first event, and we know the creativity around Jupiter is more than ready to raise it again.
So gather your family.
Recruit your neighbors.
Call your most creative friends.
Then start building.
If it floats, paddles, and makes people smile, it belongs at Whatever Floats Your Boat.
