STELLA BLUE

About STELLA BLUE

Best for: couples or close friends seeking a genuinely hosted sailing trip, with small families of four a close second.

Stella Blue is a 2021 Xquisite 50-foot sailing catamaran built for two guest couples, with two queen cabins on the port side giving each pair their own private space. What sets her apart is the crew: Captain David and first mate and chef Heather run this boat together as a dedicated team, bringing a level of warmth and hospitality that makes a charter feel more like sailing with friends who happen to be excellent at their jobs. David's 30-plus years on the water span offshore fishing, coastal cruising, and hands-on boat maintenance across the USVI, BVI, and as far south as Grenada.

Four guests fit comfortably aboard, and the two-cabin layout suits couples travelling together who want their own space without compromise. Heather's background in food and hosting means meals and sundowner moments are taken seriously. Water toys include paddleboards, a towable tube, floating mats, snorkel gear, and fishing gear, so days between anchorages stay full. With ten reviews behind her, Stella Blue is a proven boat that runs well and delivers on what it promises.

The Stella Blue:
Thank you for an amazing week of memories with the family. We appreciate all the effort that you put into planning the perfect itenerary - both
sightseeing and food - and your willingness to adjust.
Violet will miss her cuddle buddy and Xander will miss driving the dinghy!
The emergency ice cream saved the day before the final beach trip! Hope to see y'all again real soon.
All the best, Tim, Angie, Xander, Violet

We had the best time on our trip! David and Heather were such gracious hosts!
The boys loved the endless supply of Shirley Temples and we were amazed at what Heather was able to create in the kitchen. Our favorite memory will be the tour of Necker Island, but a close second was snorkeling the reef off Anegada.
We'll hold this trip close to our hearts for a very, very long time
Brennan, Natalie, Dane and Cole
P.S. Please let us know when you publish the Stella Blue cookbook!

STELLA BLUE guest review

Heather and David, we had the most magical time on our trip thanks to you.
The food on and and off boat was amazing.
The excursions, the water activities and learning about sailing were moments we
will ever forget. Swimming with the
turtles was the most incredible time, and
we will never forget this trip of a lifetime.
The deckhand was absolutely STELLAR!
We can't wait to come back and are thankful to have made new friends.
Thank you, Caityn + Derek

Good to know

We want to make sure you are well prepared and informed for your trip. Here are a few things you might want to know before you set off.
An APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance) is an amount paid to the yacht before your charter. It's a fund to cover expenses such as food & drink eaten on board, fuel and mooring fees. At the end of your charter, you’ll receive a detailed document showing how the APA was spent, and any remaining balance will be refunded to you. if in doubt about what is included, ask your HELM broker.
The Captain will let you know if you're about to overspend and discuss your next steps, which wil generally be a bank transfer to top up the funds.
We recommend (10-15% for the Med) (15-20% for the Caribbean/Bahamas) of your charter fee, which will be split evenly among the crew (it's a nice touch to bring a blank envelope or a thank you card in advance).
We'll share your Captain's details with you a few weeks before your charter. We can set up a group chat with your group and the captain to discuss plans before you go.
