Reel Candy Sport Fishing Charter Services

Our vessel “Reel Candy” resides at Sailfish Marina, the closest dock to world-famous Palm Beach/Lake Worth Inlet, minutes from Gulf Stream and only 50 miles from the Bahamas!!

Our exclusive location within Sailfish Marina Resort, features waterfront indoor/outdoor dining over-looking peanut island and the intracoastal waterway, with the opportunity to “cook your catch”, after a productive day of charter fishing with the Reel Candy Crew. Our location makes it easy for us to board our guests and head promptly into divine deep ocean water, wasting no time before presenting our bait and begin fishing on our local charters. Only 20 minutes from PBIA, Palm Beach International Airport.

As a US and Bahamian licensed charter service, we not only offer charters in West Palm Beach but also from the Sailfish Capital of the world, Stuart and Jupiter; as well as going further afield with sport fishing charters to the Abaco’s, Old Bahama Bay, San Salvador, and throughout the Islands of the Bahamas.

Reel Candy Sport Fishing Charters have been fishing in South Florida for over 2 decades and have also been providing licensed fishing charter services to many visitors of the Bahamas, where we have been fishing longer than any other foreign fishing charter service that is permitted to fish in the idyllic Bahamian waters.

We believe your best fishing memories will start when you exit the Palm Beach Inlet into the beautiful Atlantic Ocean on the luxurious Reel Candy. Whatever the season and wherever you come from be it within the US or abroad internationally… adventures in deep blue sport fishing world change monthly offering our anglers an opportunity to catch a variety of species in the ideal environment. Indeed we have many return fishermen (and women) coming from as far afield as Davidsonville, MD, and Broken Arrow, OK.

Sailfishing Along Sailfish Alley

Sailfish Season’s premier months are between November and March each year and the Sailfish usually start showing up along the Southeast coast of Florida in October when the Florida weather is in the high 70’s or low 80’s what could be better? They usually don’t normally start to migrate further south until cooler water temperature comes.

Stuart, is known as The Sailfish Capital of the World. When you head south it’s waters create the famed “Sailfish Alley” here in Jupiter and Palm Beach. During Sailfish Season you can easily have multiple hook ups and reap the rewards. Being based in Jupiter it puts us closer to the fish giving you the maximum time doing what you love best….sailfish trolling or kite fishing!

Unlike other species of fish, South Florida is lucky to still maintain a stock of good sized Atlantic Sailfish with 2012-2013’s fish coming in anywhere between 50 and 75 lb’s. That may not seem that big to some of you experienced fisherman but boy do they put up a fight!

Sport fishing Southeast Florida and The Bahamas

Tuna Fishing

Come join us this Tuna Season!! Tuna can be present all year round in our waters, therefore the opportunity to catch them exists on any given day. Our “prime time” for Tuna fishing typically begins end of March – early April and we are always looking for the birds to help us in our quest. Mahi Mahi, commonly referred to as ‘Dolphin’ or ‘Dorado’ in Florida, are hunted by tuna, therefore can also be found while trolling for Yellowfin or Blackfin Tuna. It’s also an excellent time to encounter White and Blue Marlin. The Tuna run will usually last well into September where Yellowfin Tuna average around 40 lbs with the occasional encounter of MUCH larger fish. Pound for pound, Tuna fight extremely hard, nonetheless being a very tasty reward.

Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

The Mahi Mahi or Common Dophinfish are epipelagic fish, spending most of their time offshore and are a surface-dwelling ray-finned fish. They range from anywhere between 5 lb’s and 70 lb’s and are known to dive to depths nearing 1,000ft, although more commonly are found in the 100ft nearest to the surface.

The name Mahi Mahi comes from the Hawaiian language and means “very strong”, therefore not surprising that they typically jump when hooked, putting on a spectacular show…

they are a magnificent fish to catch, fight and eat!
