About
Experience the thrill of one of nature's most powerful apex predators and be a part of shark conservation and research. The Reel Candy Team is participating in NOAA's apex predator program and working with Gray FishTag Research to help with the protection of our oceans. Sharks play a vital role in the overall health of our oceans. They are top predators and keep other fish populations healthy and in proportion for their ecosystem. Tagging sharks has provided us with invaluable information on migratory patterns, life histories, movement patterns, social connections, habitat use, and more. Reel Candy participates in cooperative tag and release programs because the data collected is imperative to the continued research and conservation of these animals. Join us to assist with the tagging, picture taking and documenting of your successful catch! Reel Candy is a 47' Jersey Luxury Sportfish equipped with a fully air conditioned salon and restroom facilities on board. Our crew is safe and highly experienced.
