Great memories made!!!
8 Hour Trip on June 12, 20264 adults1 child

First off is the Captain Judah, he kept us on the fish and we loved that!! Whenever things got cold, he didn’t hesitate to pull lines and move to another spot. He didnt want to waste our time fishing in a spot that went dead!!! He was very welcoming and professional with our family and his crew!! He communicated very well about what we’d like to accomplish on our 8hr trip and what his plan would be for that to happen. The boat is very clean and taken care of and the AC cabin was a lifesaver!! Second was the firstmate/deckhand Kayden and his helper. These guys were the stars of the show for us. They kept the tackle moving, hooks baited and fish taken off hooks. They were constantly switching out gear for the different fish we were going after. With four newbies to fishing and myself an inland fisherman….these guys worked their tails off making it an enjoyable trip. Overall, we would highly recommend the Stelluna for any fishing charter, especially for families!!! We’d give ten stars if we could!!! Great job Stelluna crew!!!

Reported catch:
Red Snapper
Spanish Mackerel
Scamp Grouper
Vermilion Snapper
Response from Captain

Thank you Blake! We enjoyed having y’all on the boat!! looking forward to doing it again.

Amazing trip
8 Hour Trip - 12:30 PM on June 16, 20262 adults2 children

They should call this the arm spasm, back wrenching, leg shaking fishing bonanza! These guys lived up to and exceeded our expectations!! We were exhausted from catching so many different types of huge fish. A 9 ft lemon shark, 6 ft sand shark, red snapper, Bonita, barracuda, grouper, amber jack.. I mean everything!! Do you yourself a favor and spend the time and money for a good long trip with these guys! Worth every penny!!

Response from Captain

Thanks Jacob!! we are so glad y’all had a good time! we look forward to having you back again soon!

Wonderful Family Fishing Trip
6 Hour Trip on August 7, 20254 adults4 children

Our Family joined the Stelluna and crew for a (6) hour trip while on vacation and had a great fishing trip. We had young children aboard as well as grandparents and everyone enjoyed the outing. We caught bait fish, snapper, reef fish, amberjack, tuna, and a Shark! We released those that we were unable to keep, but brought home plenty of fish to have a local restaurant cook up, even after a dolphin and shark took a few of our catches right off our lines! We would definitely recommend a trip on the Stelluna as the Captain, crew, and boat all provided a wonderful experience we will all remember.

Reported catch:
Vermilion Snapper
Response from Captain

So glad to hear y’all had a good experience!! Thanks again for fishing with us!
