Hooked on Paradise: The Ultimate Fishing Destination
For passionate anglers, Stuart, Florida isn’t just a fishing town—it’s a legend. Known worldwide as the “Sailfish Capital of the World,” Stuart has long been home to some of the fiercest fighters in the ocean. Offshore, the deep blue teems year-round with sailfish, marlin, tuna, wahoo, and amberjack—just waiting for your line.
At Beach Houses in Paradise, adventure begins right outside your door. Each private beach house includes its own private dock on the Indian River Lagoon, just one mile from the St. Lucie Inlet and only minutes from the Gulf Stream, where warm currents attract trophy fish year-round. (In fact, the Gulf Stream runs closer to Stuart than almost anywhere else in Florida—closer even than Miami or the Keys!)
Prefer a guided expedition? Local marinas are stocked with state-of-the-art sportfishing vessels and expert captains who know exactly where the big ones bite. And BHIP's Al Roberts can connect you to the best of them.
When you’re ready to trade the open sea for calm waters, simply cross the street to your private dock and cast into the Indian River Lagoon—North America’s most biodiverse estuary, home to more than 3,400 species of marine life. From sunrise to starlight, something is always biting here.
And when the rods are stowed and the stories begin, you’ll discover that Stuart offers far more than world-class fishing. Voted “America’s Best Coastal Small Town” (USA Today, 2024), this seaside gem brims with charm, dining, shopping, culture, and sunshine—perfect for everyone in your crew, anglers and non-anglers alike.
Because in Stuart, every day is another chance to reel in paradise.
