STELLA BLUE is a 2021 50’ Xquisite X5 sailing catamaran, Hull #16, handcrafted in South Africa and proven across multiple Atlantic crossings. Her bright open-plan interior features a generous island galley, while multiple outdoor lounging areas invite guests to enjoy life under sail or at anchor. A full-width aft chaise creates a favorite spot for stargazing and sea views, wide side decks allow confident movement fore and aft, and the signature shaded “Lanai” between the hulls offers a breezy retreat just above the water.
Accommodating up to 4 guests, STELLA BLUE offers 2 queen cabins on the port side, each with a private ensuite. The full-length starboard owner’s suite is reserved for the owners/crew. Rare, refined, and purpose-built for genuine bluewater sailing, STELLA BLUE delivers an intimate charter experience with thoughtful space and unmistakable character.

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

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!

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
