The Atlantic Sailfish is one of the fastest fish in the ocean, famous for its spectacular leaping ability and iconic dorsal sail. Found in the warm offshore waters of the Atlantic, it is the premier billfish target off Florida's Southeast coast. Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach are considered among the top sailfish destinations in the world, with winter being the prime season as fish migrate along the Gulf Stream.
