    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.

    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!

    First Time In Shore Fishing

    5 Hour Trip — Inshore on April 11, 2026 • 3 adults

    Cpt Hector was an excellent choice. A party of 3 and our first time in shore fishing. Caught a few fish, saw numerous dolphin and the area and weather was beautiful. Had fun and will do again.

    Awesome day on the water

    6 Hour Trip — Offshore Near Coastal on April 21, 2025 • 2 adults

    Boat was ready to depart promptly. On the ride to the fishing grounds we took in the calm morning and the sights. Once we arrived at the fishing site we promptly had fish on our lines and began loading fish on the boat. Had few fish that we could not keep. Spotted a leatherback turtle and a huge shark while we were out. When returning the fish were cleaned up for us and the captain was quick and thorough at cutting them into filets. Marina staff were helpful and friendly as well. A short ride from there had us at a restaurant that cooked our fish for us. Terrific experience aside from possibly having a bit too much fish to eat for dinner... 😂

    Full day trip offshore

    8 Hour Trip – Offshore Near Coastal on September 19, 2023 • 4 adults

    All I can say is WOW!!!! Our trip with Hector was amazing!!! He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and just all around a great human being. I can not say enough great things about our experience on the water with Stellar Charters. A couple of us even got a little sea sick and Hector was very helpful with doing what needed to be done on the boat to get us back to feeling better and continue fishing. We caught close to 50 total fish and had some really good keepers to bring home. A collection of Barracuda, flounder, two types of grunt, and sailor’s choice. And the hospitality continued after the charter, with Hector cleaning and preparing our fish for us to take home and enjoy. All we had to worry about was getting home fast enough to cook up some fish tacos. I highly recommend Stellar Charters for anyone looking for a great experience at a phenomenal price. Thanks again Hector for the wonderful day on the open waters.

    Half day AM nearshore

    6 Hour Trip — Offshore Near Coastal on July 31, 2023 • 3 adults

    We got to the marina early, so Capt Hector got us going towards the fishing ground early! It was a little over an hour to get there, but my wife caught that first triggerfish within 30 seconds of putting the line in the water. The bite was on the entire time, despite Hector's insistence that it would slow down between 1130-1230. We even got a visit from a large (13 foot easy) hammerhead shark! Lots of fish and Hector was quick to replace bait and hooks when necessary so there was no down time. He was also full of useful information about the area. I can't recommend Captain Hector highly enough!

    Fishing 🎣 with Hector Soto

    6 Hour Trip — Offshore Near Coastal on August 25, 2022 • 2 adults

    My husband and I booked the 5 hour off shore trip. We had a great time even though Mother Nature had different plans for us. We didn’t get to go out as far as Hector wanted for safety reasons but we still caught a lot of fish and got to watch an amazing lightning and thunder storm. Hector was an entertaining boat captain with great stories and conversation the whole trip. We recommend him to anyone looking for a day filled with fishing and great company. When we come back we will book with Hector again because we know he did everything he could to make our day great and he put our families safety first!!

    Great family trip

    6 Hour Trip — Offshore Near Coastal on August 9, 2022 • 4 adults

    Our family of 4 had never fished before and the fishing trip with Hector has been such a fun time for us. Hector took us to a place where a lot of boats were sunked to create artificial reefs. There are so many fishes. There are always fish bites within 30 seconds bait reaching seafloor. We caught one big barracuda, two black sea bass and many other fishes. We saw dolphin, sea turtles, Kelley fish. We even saw blue crab swimming at the surface eating jelly fish! Hector is very friendly and he continuously fixing bait for us. He put the catches we want to take home in the ice chest and cleaned fishes for us on the dock. Thanks Hector and I am sure we will be back again.

    Half day fishing trip

    5 Hour Trip — Inshore on July 22, 2023 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had an amazing time out fishing today for my son’s 4th birthday. We caught a lot of sharks, sting rays and even a puffer fish. Beautiful weather! We even had a huge stingray on the line at the end. Captain Hector and first mate were so helpful, patient and attentive. First rate and first class! Thank you for everything! Second to none.

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.

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!
