Booked a half day group but due to equipment issues with one of the boats. we got upgraded to a semi private with just one other pair. Hammered lane snapper all morning, caught a grouper and some small jacks, and took home a couple pounds of beautiful fillets that we had prepared at Dante’s. We even hooked a few sharks and my son even bagged a barracuda!!! Tash was an amazing guide and host, and was very helpful as our family was not experienced. They put us immediately on fish and we had action almost the whole time. Super fun and well worth it!!!  Will definitely be back!

This is a great trip for a small family that doesn’t want to spend the money for a private charter, but doesn’t want to do a big deep sea party boat. This was deep sea style fishing (drop the line to the bottom, no casting, no trolling) but done just off the island, not far out. We caught a lot of grunts and a few yellow tail. There were 12 customers on the boat. Our party was 4 people (mom and dad with an 8 and 10 year old) and between us we brought in 34 fish. The boat did not feel too crowded with 12 people on board, but it could definitely use a couple of fans for the days where there is no breeze and you are just baking in the sun with drenched clothes and soggy skin from sweating.

Captain Cook and Luis were great as well, and gave us a little history of the island. When we got back to the dock Capt Cook gave some great recommendations on where we could take our fish to have it cooked at a restaurant if we wanted. The kids (and adults) loved throwing the fish scraps in the water to feed the tarpon while Luis was cleaning the fish at the end of the trip. We would recommend and go again!

This was a wonderful charter for all in our group- young and old. The crew was patient with children and quick to assist wherever they were needed. The boat was clean and we had cold water to sip while we fished. They took their time to clean the fish and packed it with ice for the trip home. We will definitely use this charter again!

Captain and crew were very professional. Location was easy to find, and the captain kept me well informed. Captain called promptly after booking and went over details with us. All in all great easy going captain for a little fishing trip to get your line in the water.

We had a wonderful experience on the Stella Blue! Our kids (13 and 3) were the only children on board and the captain and first mate Luis were very accommodating and helpful to make sure they had a good time. We caught a ton of fish! Would absolutely recommend!
