Fishing

Fishing

Stuart, Florida, has long been known as the “SAILFISH CAPITAL OF THE WORLD”. Offshore fishermen come from all over to test their skill against the “Sails” that abound just off the St. Lucie Inlet where the Gulf Stream lies 10 miles from the shore. When the Sailfish aren’t striking, there’s an abundance of dolphin, wahoo, grouper, snapper, cobia and king mackerel to keep your reel humming.

It won’t take you long to have poles in the water. Sailfish Marina is the closest marina to the St. Lucie Inlet with no bridges to the Atlantic Ocean.

Offshore fishing isn’t the only appeal for the fisherman. Trout, snook, pompano and tarpon abound in the St. Lucie and Indian Rivers.

Boating

If cruising’s your style, the choices are unlimited.

Cruise & dine: Have some time? Enjoy a leisurely trip down to Jupiter or up to Vero Beach via the ICW. Pressed for time? Cruise 10 minutes to the end of the Manatee Pocket and dock at several good restaurants.

Nature lovers will enjoy the natural beauty of the South Fork/St. Lucie River or the St. Lucie Inlet Park on the ICW.

Feel adventurous? Take a trip to the west coast of Florida via the Okeechobee Waterway or go east to the Bahama Islands.  West End is just 90 miles from the inlet.

Visit downtown Stuart by boat. Dock at the City Pier and shop and dine in historic downtown Stuart.

It’s a wonderful way to spend the day! With beautiful and bountiful waterways, Stuart is truly a boater’s and fisherman’s paradise.
