Best fishing trip in years !
6 Hour Trip — Offshore Near Coastal on September 19, 2026 • 3 adults

We caught a bunch of different fish, from Toad-Fish to Sand-Bass and a ton of Pink-Fish. Hector was super fast with unhooking the fish and setting up the bait so we could be non-stop fishing. He even set up a larger pole in order for us to have a chance at catching barracuda and such. He was super friendly and funny. The thing that set Hectors charter apart from all the others we have ever done is that he didn't count the time it took to drive out to sea and back in, so the time we paid for was pure fishing time! All in all the trip was amazing and we would instantly book Hector again.

Amazing fishing experiance!
6 Hour Trip — Offshore Near Coastal on May 30, 2026 • 4 adults

We had an amazing time fishing with Captain Hector! He was professional, friendly, and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great experience. We caught plenty of fish, learned a lot, and enjoyed every minute on the water. Captain Hector knows all the right spots and made the trip fun from start to finish. If you're looking for a great fishing charter, I highly recommend booking with Captain Hector. We can't wait to come back and fish with him again!

Great Off Shore Fishing Experience
6 Hour Trip — Offshore Near Coastal on April 14, 2026 • 3 adults

Recommend Stellar Charters as a must. I have been on numerous off shore/deep sea fishing trips throughout the world and this has been one of the best. Cpt Hector got us on the fish within 5 minutes from arriving to fishing grounds. We were a party of 3. Caught well over 60 fish, probably 8 different spiecies and kept 21 fish were kept. This was our second trip with Cpt Hector in 4 days and was totally memorable. A Great Captain who takes care of his patrons.

Tons of fun! Captain Hector is top notch!
6 Hour Trip – Offshore Nea (copy) on April 18, 2026 • 2 adults

Captain Hector put us on some black sea bass! We caught several others we couldn’t keep which kept it fun. He showed us a good time. It was my daughter’s first time out on the ocean and it was well worth it. I’d definitely book with Stellar again! He was up front about the water possibly being choppy several days before the trip. It turned out to be not as bad as predicted, that’s always good. Book with him! You won’t regret it!

    High winds and tricky tides couldn't stop James and his friend! They spent some of their free time on the water in Coastal Georgia and crushed it—landing over 15 trout total, keeping 10, and releasing the rest. Way to grind it out out there! ??

    Fifty years of friendship calls for a real celebration, and Maxie, Pat, and Bob did it right. To mark Bob’s 70th birthday, the crew hit the water for a day of fishing and reeled in a great haul of trout and redfish. Tonight, the catch of the day is heading straight to the grill for the ultimate birthday cookout!

    Blair and the crew crushed it offshore today! We were hauling in black sea bass, lesser jacks, and a nonstop variety of fish from start to finish. The bite stayed hot all day—we literally didn't stop bending rods until it was time to point the boat back to the dock.

    We caught Sea Trout and Redfish. Pretty good day on thw water and fishing. Captain inSoto is awesome! I will be back!! Highly recommend Stellar Charters.

    The weatherman promised 5–10 knot winds today, but Mother Nature had other plans! Shifted our trip with Mr. Paul Newman inshore to play it safe. The pivot paid off—he boxed a nice catch of trout and redfish before the weather finally called game over. You can’t control the weather, but you can always catch fish! Respect the water, stay safe, and put fish in the cooler. Tight lines! ?

    Ricky, Stalia, and Will headed down for a weekend getaway, and we kicked things off right by picking them up directly at their rental home dock this morning. The action started the second line hit the water! We were slamming redfish and speckled trout left and right—boating plenty of nice keepers while letting the smaller ones live to fight another day. Unbelievable inshore action today! ?☀️

    Redfish
    Jarret, Mackenzie, and Alex made a pitstop in Georgia for a friend’s wedding and decided to squeezed in a little inshore action with us. They absolutely crushed it—limiting out on redfish, pulling in solid trout, and battling a few hard-fighting jack crevalle. Great group, great fishing, and a awesome day on the water
