Known as the "Sailfish Capital of the World," Stuart is a premier boating and fishing community on the St. Lucie River and Indian River Lagoon.

Treasure Coast Flying — Ocean, River, and Lagoon
Stuart's Treasure Coast location offers stunning aerial scenery. The Atlantic Ocean coastline, the Indian River Lagoon — one of the most biodiverse estuaries in North America — the St. Lucie River, Lake Okeechobee to the west, and the Jupiter Inlet area to the south create a rich mosaic of water and lush subtropical vegetation visible from the air. Coastal VFR flying between Stuart and Palm Beach (KPBI) to the south, or Fort Pierce (KFPR) to the north, is a favorite among local pilots. The proximity to the Bahamas — just 80 miles across the Gulf Stream — makes Stuart-area airports popular departure points for Bahamas island-hopping adventures.
