From seasoned sports fishermen who love to cast a line to beginners anticipating their first catch, Stuart, Florida is a haven for fishing enthusiasts from around the world. With one of the densest populations of sailfish in the world, this coastal town along Florida’s Atlantic Coast has garnered notoriety as the “Sailfish Capital of the World.” However, Stuart’s waters offer much more than sailfish, with dozens of species providing action and excitement year-round. Let’s explore some of the area’s best catches.

Stuart Fishing Hotspots

Between the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway, and Indian River Lagoon, anglers have access to a wide world of offshore and inshore opportunities. For those wishing to challenge the open ocean’s catches, many charter boats are available to help find game fish like mackerel, sailfish, and mahi mahi. Connecting the St. Lucie River to the Atlantic Ocean, the St. Lucie Inlet is also a popular offshore hotspot. Strong currents and deep waters make it perfect for catching snapper, grouper, kingfish, and tarpon. At the Jensen Beach Causeway, anglers can cast their line from shore, a boat, or several fishing piers nearby to catch snook, tarpon, and redfish along the Indian River Lagoon. For a more relaxed fishing experience, take a flats boat or kayak through Sailfish Flats. These shallower estuary waters are teeming with redfish, snook, tarpon, and trout.

Which Season is the Best to Cast a Line?

While Stuart boasts truly great fishing all year round, the best season to catch fish depends on what anglers are targeting. Sailfish migrate during the winter months, making mid-November through mid-February prime season. Winter is also popular for catching kingfish, blackfin tuna, and wahoo. Spring provides plentiful opportunities to catch snook, redfish and trout, while summer is the peak season for catching marlin and tarpon. Finally, fall is an excellent time to catch tuna, swordfish, and mahi mahi.

An Ideal Home Port Along the Treasure Coast

In the world of fishing, there are no more enviable locations to launch from than the Harbour Ridge Marina. Situated along the North Fork of the St. Lucie River, Harbour Ridge’s shoreline encompasses two miles of pristine riverfront, ensuring residents enjoy the well-rounded waterfront lifestyle that the Treasure Coast is known for. Three private marinas provide a combined 98 slips that range from 24 to 80 feet long. For the non-boaters in the community, the estuary shoreline is also a haven for anglers, as the river is teeming with redfish, snook, tarpon, and trout. Harbour Ridge is also a proud Member of the prestigious Florida Council of Yacht Clubs, providing Members with multiple club privileges throughout Florida. Members can take advantage of amenities offered at 36 private Clubs from Marathon to Pensacola without the cost of paying their dues. The Council also sponsors cruises to the Caribbean, Panama Canal, Alaska, and more at competitive prices.

“The camaraderie of boaters at Harbour Ridge is unmatched,” shared Harbour Ridge Member and Past Yacht Club Commodore Dorothy Bousquet. “Boaters always watch out for each other, especially out on the water. It’s nice to see everybody, where they’ve traveled with their boat, and to hear their stories.”

Set Sail With Friends at the Harbour Ridge Yacht Club

The Harbour Ridge Marina is not only the launch point for a wide range of water-based activities, but also a social centerpiece that brings together boat lovers of all ages. The Yacht Club’s endless social calendar provides a welcoming atmosphere for Members to enjoy, including day and evening cruises, annual fishing contests, “docktail” parties, and much more. Harbour Ridge also offers a private Water Shuttle, with a personal boat captain transporting Members from their homes to the vibrant Downtown Stuart area for dinner or a show.

“The yacht club’s purpose is to not only promote water activities, but also provide educational opportunities on the health of our waterways,” shared Bousquet. “We have social activities and day cruises that people from their 50s up into their 90s can enjoy. Last year, we also brought in the Coast Guard Auxiliary to inspect the boats in our marina and share information about how discharge can affect our local waterways. This year, Harbour Ridge was also in charge of the Blessing of the Fleet for the whole Stuart area. We do a lot of things and there’s always something fun happening.”

While South Florida has been luring golfers with year-round play for decades, a renewed appreciation for the sport during the pandemic has brought about a new wave of growth. The National Golf Foundation recently released that 41.1 million players hit the links in 2022, with a record 3.3 million players joining the game for the first time. As the interest in golf rises nationwide, playing in Florida has become the hottest new commodity. Home to nearly 70 golf courses within a 20-mile radius, Florida’s Treasure Coast is the state’s epicenter of golf activity. Social beginners and avid golfers alike enjoy some of the nation’s best links, many designed by legends of the game. Let’s take a closer look at some of the Treasure Coast’s top golfing destinations.

Favored Treasure Coast Golf Destinations

A highly desired area for golf aficionados, long waitlists have led to many visitors being locked out of private golf options. Luckily, the Treasure Coast is home to public and daily-fee semi-private courses for all skill levels. Sailfish Sands is a cherished public course in Stuart and was just renovated to include an 18-hole championship course, and an innovative reversible nine. Hammock Creek Golf Club in Palm City is a daily-fee course, with five sets of tees for all skill levels. Florida’s Treasure Coast is also filled with golf destinations that are attracting golfers to the game in innovative ways. In Stuart, the Shores of North River Golf Club provides a par-66, Arthur Young-designed course where southern oak and pine trees accentuate the Old Florida landscape. With high demand and high levels of play, however, overcrowding has become an issue at many of these public and semi-private options.

Rare Waterfront Championship Golf

For the avid golfer, there’s no better way to enjoy the beauty of Florida’s Treasure Coast than on Harbour Ridge’s championship golf courses. This private yacht and country club along the North Fork of the St. Lucie River is one of the only Clubs in the area with two championship golf courses. The River Ridge is a Pete & P.B. Dye-designed par-72 course that winds through natural wetlands, high bluffs, and towering trees to overlook the quiet waters of the St. Lucie River. Designed by Bobby Weed, Golden Marsh is set amidst a 20-acre nature preserve, surrounded by natural lakes and marshes that add both an element of beauty and challenge to the course.

Members not only appreciate the natural sanctuary each course provides, but also the varying tees that provide fun for all ages. “Both courses have five sets of tees, which is great for golfers of all skill levels,” shared Harbour Ridge Member Jeff Steinberg. “There are many different golf groups that play at different handicaps. The Pro Shop does a great job pairing you up with people who match your skill levels, and generally your group all plays from the same tees.”

PGA Professionals Help Perfect Your Swing

Off the greens, Harbour Ridge Members enjoy an expansive practice facility that mimics every element of the courses, including a double-sided practice range, multiple short game areas, and a large practice putting green. A full team of PGA Professionals coordinates golf training, group clinics, and full swing schools for beginners and advanced players alike. Along with teaching how to perfect Members’ swings, the team also plans numerous tournaments and social events to ensure fun for every skill level. Organized weekly events, holiday tournaments, and over 25 years of major championship traditions guarantees Members enjoy plentiful memorable moments throughout the year.

Assistant General Manager and Director of Golf Joe Beezup agrees that PGA Professionals are all working towards one common goal- to take care of the Members. “We have five Class-A PGA Professionals, two Associates, and a PGA Professional who is our merchandiser on staff at Harbour Ridge,” shared Beezup. “We all work together to provide the best experience for our Members, and everyone has aspirations to make it further into the private club industry.”

Custom Golf Club Fittings

For those looking to hit the links for the first time, finding the proper golf clubs are a crucial first step. The Golf Shop at Harbour Ridge is home to innovative technologies that assist in equipment purchasing decisions. Members can reserve a fitting session, where the Club’s Master Fitter Dan Ridgway would assess Member’s strengths and abilities. From there, the Eagle’s Bay Indoor Golf Simulator is used to set up the proper gear. Powered by GC Hawk technology, this innovative indoor space utilizes an overhead-mounted launch monitor to provide the game’s most accurate performance data. After picking the clubs, Members can head to the outdoor driving range, where Trackman technologies allow Ridgway and his team to properly assess which clubs are the best fit for Members’ individualized game.

“A fitting consists of finding the right shaft, length, and grip size that best meets a Member’s playing style,” shared Beezup. “Combining top brands like Ping, Callaway, and TaylorMade with the innovative GC Hawk and TrackMan technologies ensures our Members have access to the best resources necessary to build a more efficient golf game.”

The game of tennis has been around since the 1870s and is a favorite sport among many Americans. Here at Harbour Ridge, members enjoy pro tennis tips while playing on the nine Har-Tru® tennis courts and participating in weekly socials, round-robin tournaments and men’s and women’s team competitions. The Harbour Ridge tennis program also offers one-of-a-kind training programs developed by the Peter Burwash International (PBI) training program. Globally renowned, the PBI program has been involved with professional tennis management since 1975. We sat down with the Harbour Ridge Tennis Pro, Fabio Vasconcellos, to get his advice on how to up your game. Here are his six must-follow tips.

Make Contact

There is a misconception that all contact sports must be physical and aggressive, such as football and hockey. Many people do not realize that tennis is a contact sport. Players may not be tackling one another, but they are making contact with the ball by using the tennis racquet. I like to educate people about the three steps of the tennis swing. The swing consists of the backswing, making contact and then the follow-through. Contact is the most vital part of the game because, without it, there is no game.

Know your Minimum Potential

Minimum potential is another vital part of the game. Right in the sweet spot of the racquet is minimum potential energy. When a ball makes contact with this area on the racquet, it will soar with speed and power. And this happens without the help of movement, swinging or a powerful backhand. Next time you’re practicing, see how little you will have to work with your racquet.

Take Advantage of Minimum Potential

With the understanding of the concepts of contact and minimum potential, players can hit the ball with precision and speed. When getting ready to return a hard serve there’s little time for your mind to process what is going on, as opposed to a slower groundstroke. Oftentimes, there is not enough time to prepare for the contact and complete a stroke with all three motions. Players take advantage of the knowledge of minimum potential by reacting on instinct and hitting the ball on the sweet spot of the racquet. If players utilize this tactic long enough, it will become muscle memory.

Use Your Index Finger

It is not always easy to make contact with the ball and some days are more challenging than others. I always teach players to place their opposite index finger on the racquet strings closest to the handle. By doing this, players will know where the racquet head is and the angle of its face. Knowing where the face of the racquet is, makes it easier to adjust to external conditions such as wind and speed. This knowledge is crucial on those days when contact seems impossible.

Add an Underspin

For those looking to advance their tennis skills, I would recommend adding an underspin to your forehand stroke. This shot bounces the ball lower, still making it move forward and serves multiple strategical purposes. An underspin can mess up your opponent’s rhythm and exploit their weaknesses. It can be hit effectively from both sides of the body, on forehands and backhands equally.

Play Mini-Tennis

Mini-tennis is the perfect way to master control in tennis. With two to four players, this game takes place within the service boxes of a court. By playing within a short distance of one another, players will develop a feel for the ball and improve skills like accuracy and precision. Playing mini-tennis also allows players to become more familiar with the tennis equipment and the game itself.
