We had an incredible experience with Stelluna Family Friendly Charters! Captain Benjamin Barbee and the crew were outstanding — extremely friendly, professional, and made us feel right at home. My boys had an absolute blast and caught plenty of fish, which we were even able to send home. The entire trip was well-organized, relaxed, and truly family-friendly. Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun and memorable day on the water in Destin. We’ll definitely be back!

3 generations - an unforgettable experience
So my parents (80s) came onboard with them splitting their time between the air-conditioned cabin and the back deck. Capt Judah and Kaiden helped her both getting on and off the boat. My generation (3 of 5) split our time between watching from inside the air-conditioned cabin and hands-on fishing. The youngsters (20s-30s) stayed on the back deck fishing, the ENTIRE time. The BEST part was watching my parents beam with pride and joy at the multi-generations on-board. Mom is in her later years and knows the "end is nigh" so watching her smile and enjoy being with her kids and grandchildren and their spouses is a memory that the kids will remember for a LONG time. Her grandchildren also enjoyed spending time with their grandparents. Kaden kept us all baited and taught us how to reel in. He expertly fileted the fish which we ate the following night. I would do this trip anytime I am back in Destin. Many, many thanks to Capt Judah and Kaden for their hospitality and experience.

Fantastic Experience
This is our second voyage on the Stelluna. They are very family friendly and helpful. It is not easy handling 4 generations of a family on a charter boat, and they do it graciously. They make the expense welll worth it. Mackrel, Bonita, Spinner Sharks, were all on part of our catch today!

8 Hour Trip Red Snapper
Wahoo!
Buddy and I took 3 - 15 y/o boys out, weather and water a bit tough first 3-4 hours but cleared up and calmed down nicely. Trolled a Wahoo on way out and way back. Yes, doubled up. In between, Snapper, Bar-Jack, and Bee-liners. Great day, great time. Imagine 3 15 y/o boys not on their phones for 8 hours. Captain Barbee and crew were top notch! Highly recommend.
