Stella Gazer

ONE OF OUR BEST CHARTERS! Captain Tim knows his stuff and is a great guy overall. Candela is the best mate! Food, food, food and more food! Better food than a five star restaurant! We never met such a classy crew. The two of them worked together like a Swiss watch!
Loved it

Thank you Captain Tim and Candela for giving us such a memorable trip. Tim, you got us safely back to Village Cay in record time with intricate timing of the sails and weather & the winds beautifully. Candela, your cooking is superb and each day was better and better. And let’s not forget Tim’s cheesecake. We hope to sail with you again.

At vacay & At crew! Thank you Capt. Tim & Candela, for an amazing stay aboard Stella! You two make such a great team, always in tandem as if you’d done this for years. And both always so attentive to all our needs, ensuring we happy & good.
Candela, thank you for all of the magnificent meals, all with gorgeous presentation, great variety & soo tasty. You make it look effortless. Even the birds are spoiled by your aromas & leftover feedings! (Take care of Henry!)
We all so appreciate your accommodating our food preferences & dietary restrictions. Only your cooking could convince me to enjoy sushi & lamb. Extra thanks for ending perfect days with a game of Rummikub & your queens we’ve goodnight.
Tim, can’t thank you enough for your navigation skills & expertise… the extra excursions through the estuaries beside the turtles & stingrays, feeling the iguanas, those gorgeous peacocks & views atop Beef Island, & for always keeping our safety at the forefront this entire trip. And that AMAZING cheesecake! Who knew our captain could bake!! So delish :)
We will miss waking to these gorgeous blue, clear waters, the fresh sea breeze, sailing on Stella… & both of you! Safe sailing & clear, sunny days ahead to you both… & until we meet again (wishful thinking)
May God bless & keep you in the palm of his hands

Thank you Captain Tim and Candela for giving us such a memorable trip. Tim, you got us safely from Tortola to Saba Rock. The sailing, weather and views were beautiful. Candela, your cooking is superb and each day was better and better. And let’s not forget Tim’s cheesecake. We hope to sail with you again.

We, the four (4) of us, were so lucky to synch with Tim & Candela as our very dedicated staff. “Attitude is everything” and they topped our expectations!!

Tim is so professional, focused on safety, and balanced with fun… everything you/we would want to enjoy our first time ever to the Bahamas and the Exumas. They were careful to tweak our itinerary such that the best weather was spent in sites where clear skies are critical to the 50-shades of blue… then the longer crossings were during the forecasted rainier times (literally one-hour total!).

The meals were fantastic and well plated, appreciated by all. The yacht was 100% outfitted, safe, clean, picturesque, dry, shaded, cool, organized, coffee & cocktail friendly, etc.

We can’t wait to re-schedule with this crew!!!

We had an amazing time. The captain and chef took great care of us. The food was absolutely awesome, and I swear we all gained 5lbs!! Candela was super attentive and kept us well fed. Captain Tim made great suggestions when it came to our activities and was super flexible when we decided we wanted to stay at a certain spot longer. We felt well taken care of the entire time.

Thank you, and look forward to our next trip with yall

This was our first boat charter, and we couldn’t have been happier!
So many memories made. The boat and crew were amazing. We saw Iguanas, dolphins, Rays, turtles, sharks, and fish.
Food was totally amazing, and my kids will be missing all the yummy desserts :)
We are already planning our next trip.
Our every need was met, and so were our expectations. Beautiful beaches, water, and awesome memories made.

Looking forward to next time,
