Bachelor Trip Fun
4 Hour Trip – Nearshore Family Trip on July 18, 20266 adults

I booked this trip for a bachelor trip and our boat caught 44 fish! The capatain and first mate were helpful and were a great time. If you are looking to have fish on your line, this is a great bang for your buck. I had thought that the 6 spots I paid for was for a private charter but we had 5 other anglers on board so just keep that in mind when youre booking. Probably user error but we made 5 new friends. Would definitely recommend!

Great Captain and First Mate
4 Hour Trip – Nearshore Family Trip on August 13, 20262 adults

Going during a weekday there were a total of 8 people on the boat which was great. The boat caught over 40 fish that could be kept and the crew provided lots of help taking fish off lines Also all the bottled water you can drink was free. Make sure to bring sunscreen.

Lots of fish
4 Hour Trip – Nearshore Family Trip on June 8, 20263 adults1 child

There were 9 total on the boat. There was plenty of room for each of us. We were a party of 4 ages 12-76. we all caught 4 or more fish. Although nothing very big there was a lot of action on our reels. We were close to catching a barracuda several times, but none of us caught one. Our two man crew was very informative, attentive and helpful theoughout the day. Although not a huge variety of fish it was fun and exciting especially for the kids. I highly recommend this trip for all.

Great trip on the Stella Blue!
4 Hour Trip – Nearshore Family Trip on March 26, 20262 adults

Caught a cooler full of fish. Red grouper (out of season), Lane snapper, Yellowtail snapper, two different kinds of Grunt. Was a fun trip! Don’t hesitate to book with the Stella Blue. The boat wasn’t crowded like the big head boats, and Capt Mike and Luis were on top of things, telling stories and jokes! Book it today!

I was born and raised in Key West, and started fishing with my grandfather at the tender age of 8 years old. My grandfather taught me how to fish, and instilled in me a great love and respect for the ocean. As I grew I knew that this is what I wanted to do with my life. As soon as I was able to shake my parents notion that one day I would head off to college, I began to fish in earnest. I started in the commercial industry trapping, diving, and hand lining. Though I enjoyed that life immensely I also enjoy showing people a good time, and showing off my craft. which led me into the charter boat industry. I went from first mate to owner of 4 charter boats at historical charterboat row. I have learned from the best in the industry, and have passed my knowledge onto my crews. I believe that all fishermen are show offs. They know that it is not easy to go fishing and actually catch fish, and that's what they do. Come on out and hang with our showoffs, I promise you will be entertained.
