Our vessel “Reel Candy” is based at one of the most picturesque locations in Southern Florida, right opposite the historic Jupiter Lighthouse in the Jupiter Inlet. Reel Candy can be found in Jupiter Inlet Marina located behind the New U-Tiki Beach Restaurant, 1096 A1a Jupiter, which, coincidentally, is the ideal place to celebrate after a successful day out sport fishing with Captain Marvin Steiding. As a US and Bahamian licensed charter service, we offer Sailfish charters from the Sailfish Capital of the world, Stuart, Jupiter and Palm Beach Florida.
Reel Candy Sport Fishing Charters have been fishing in the Jupiter, Stuart and Palm Beach Florida areas for many year and we look forward to conducting your next charter, excursion or trip!
This deep water inlet serves the Port of Palm Beach as the gateway to the Caribbean and the closest point of this superhighway for fish to the continental United States. Just minutes after departing the dock, we are fishing pristine tropical waters influenced by our close proximity to the Gulf Stream.
The Inlet cushions the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, making it an ideal location from which to set out on a Reel Candy Sportfishing trip. The Northern Palm Beaches is renowned for its fishing opportunities. We can start fishing within amile of the inlet. The 47’ Reel Candy provides a stable platform for the many styles of fishing from Jupiter and is now located at Castaway’s Marina & Square Grouper Tiki Bar.
Stuart, Florida is known as “The Sailfish Capital of the World.”

Many years ago we were fortunate enough to meet Ronnie Shatmann and Walker Holcomb, thank goodness not at the same time. These two guys wrote the book on wahoo fishing, and I’ve been hooked ever since our first conversations. Since then we have gone on to fish some of the best wahoo waters in the world including Australia. We on the Reel Candy Sportfishing team have been guiding anglers to trophy wahoo for the last 15 years.
Wahoo cruise the waters all year in the Abacos, from Walkers Cay to Treasure Cay, from Marsh Harbour to the Hole in the Wall, and islands south like San Salvador, Bahamas, but the season really starts in October. During November, December and thru March, the bite is exceptional with multiple bites daily. Fish are caught mostly in the 25 to 60 pound range with a few hitting the 100 pound mark.
Packages are all custom designed by Reel Candy Sportfishing for your particular group size, length of stay, and desired location. Including Walkers, Marsh Harbour, Treasure Cay and especially in San Salvador. We have packages to suit every angler, couple or group.
January, February, March and April will be the prime months for BIG MONSTER WAHOO in San Salvador on the Reel Candy. Although the weather can be extreme there are many days that are fishable. Most of these fish range from 60 to 100+ pounds and will test the skill of any angler. We have a short window so booking early will guarantee you a spot with us. We would recommend at least a 4 night 3 day fishing trip, but 7 nights would be the best allowing for the weather.
