Stella Fishing Co. in Clearwater Beach

Stella Fishing Co. offers Clearwater Beach fishing aboard Legend and Lore, with a third boat available by request. The family business advertises private nearshore and offshore trips and can coordinate several boats for larger groups.

Contact and booking details

Legend, Lore and Stella

Legend is a 43-foot Torres sportfisher, while Lore is a 42-foot Post. The company lists up to six guests per charter boat. Stella, a 32-foot Jupiter, is available by request for coastal specialty trips. Ask which vessel is included in your quote.

The business describes itself as Coast Guard veteran owned and operated. Families are welcome, with a published minimum age of six. It also advertises discounts for veterans and first responders; confirm the terms when booking.

A half day versus a longer offshore trip

The four-hour nearshore outing is intended for guests who want to fish without committing their entire day. The captain may bottom fish or troll, depending on the season and conditions. Porgies, sea bass, grouper and mackerel are among the types of fish discussed for shorter trips.

Extended day and overnight outings reach farther grounds. Those trips can suit anglers with more specific offshore goals, but they require a different plan from a four-hour coastal charter. Ask which species are realistic and which are open to harvest on your date.

Company outings and larger groups

Stella coordinates multiple boats for events rather than placing an oversized group on one six-passenger vessel. This can help when a company or several families want the same departure schedule.

The corporate-trip page lists $1,200 per boat and a $250 deposit per boat, with crew gratuity additional. Treat that as a published corporate offering, not a universal price for every trip. Request a written quote for the number of boats, hours and guests you need.

Gear, food and taking fish home

The operator supplies fishing equipment and handles cleaning the legal catch. Its corporate offering says guests should bring their own food and drinks. Confirm the complete inclusions, including licensing and any extra charges, on the booking you choose.

Nearby restaurants may offer to cook a guest’s catch. That meal is a separate restaurant arrangement, so ask the restaurant about price and preparation rather than assuming it is part of the charter.

Meeting point and cancellation questions

The website lists Dock A at Clearwater Municipal Marina. Get current boarding and parking instructions from Stella before leaving your hotel, particularly if marina access has changed.

For the corporate offering, the operator promises a full refund when it or the captain cancels for weather or mechanical safety. Ask for the customer cancellation deadline and the policy attached to your specific trip. A confirmed boat, meeting point and complete price make group planning much easier.

Details checked October 1, 2026, using the operator’s published information. Rates, boats, meeting points and policies can change; confirm the final trip details directly. Listed species describe possible targets, not a guaranteed catch or an open harvest season.
