Stella Blue

50' / 15m - Xquisite Yachts - 2021

STELLA BLUE is a 2021 50’ Xquisite X5 sailing catamaran (Hull #16), handcrafted in South Africa and proven bluewater—she’s crossed the Atlantic multiple times. Sleeps up to 6 in an owner’s layout: a full-length Master suite to starboard plus 2 Queen guest cabins to port, each with a private ensuite. Highlights include a bright open-plan interior with a large island galley, multiple outdoor lounging zones, and a full-width aft chaise made for stargazing and sea views. Wide side decks add confidence moving fore and aft, and the signature “Lanai” between the hulls creates a breezy, shaded hangout right above the water. Rare (one of only 30 built), refined, and purpose-built for real sailing—STELLA BLUE is the kind of charter you remember.

Crew
Captain David Elenbaum
Nationality American
Captain David
Capt. David is a lifelong boating enthusiast whose passion for the water began in childhood, spending summers on Lake St. Clair in Michigan and earning his first boating license at just 14 years old. Throughout his adult life—while raising four children and building a successful career—he always made time for his greatest passions: boating, fishing, entertaining, and sharing great experiences with others.

With over 30 years of on-water experience, David brings a depth of maritime knowledge and hands-on skill to every charter. From offshore fishing trips in the Florida Keys to captaining classic houseboats on South Carolina’s Lake Hartwell, he has navigated a wide range of vessels and conditions. David has personally restored and maintained several boats—handling everything from electrical systems and engine repairs to interior renovations—earning a reputation for his mechanical expertise and cool-headed problem-solving at sea.

In addition to operating a seasonal 33’ tri-toon charter business with his wife, Heather, on Lake Hartwell, David is now the full-time captain of Stella Blue, a 50’ Xquisite sailing catamaran. Heather, a skilled host and chef, joins him aboard as first mate. Together, David and Heather have sailed extensively throughout the USVI, BVI, and as far south as Grenada—welcoming guests aboard for unforgettable cruising adventures filled with warmth, hospitality, and adventure.

With a well-rounded background that includes restaurant management and food service, David combines professionalism with genuine warmth. He thrives on creating memorable experiences—whether guiding guests through a perfect anchorage, sharing a laugh over sunset cocktails, or preparing for a day of sailing and adventure. For David, being a captain isn’t just a job—it’s the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.



Chef Heather
Heather is the heart of the party and the soul of the experience—bringing boundless energy, charm, and a welcoming spirit to every charter. With a magnetic personality and an innate talent for connecting with people, she’s never met a stranger. Her warmth and authenticity make guests feel instantly at ease, whether they’re sailing into a secluded anchorage or enjoying a sunset toast on deck.

Having moved frequently during childhood, Heather quickly learned the value of meaningful connections and lasting relationships—something that continues to define her approach to hospitality today. Her professional background spans high-level sales roles in content management, advertising, real estate, and mortgage industries, where she consistently ranked as a top performer. Her greatest strengths? Her personality, positivity, and ability to make others feel seen, celebrated, and right at home.

A natural entertainer, Heather loves curating unforgettable moments through food, drinks, music, and shared laughter. Whether she’s whipping up a tropical cocktail, setting the vibe for a lively dinner, or simply making someone’s day brighter, she brings an infectious joy to life onboard Stella Blue.

For Heather, life is best lived with good company, great conversation, and a healthy dose of fun—and she brings that spirit to every charter she’s part of.



3rd Mate & Resident Cuddle Officer Stella
Stella, the namesake and soul of Stella Blue, is a 10-year-old Tri-color Springer Spaniel with a heart as big as the ocean. Affectionate, gentle, and famously well-behaved, Stella is a seasoned sailor whose favorite pastimes include lounging in the coziest nooks onboard, greeting guests with a wagging tail, and keeping a watchful eye on the horizon (in between naps, of course).

Clipped for comfort and minimal shedding, Stella blends right into the rhythm of yacht life and is always up for quiet companionship or belly rubs. Whether you’re a lifelong dog lover or simply enjoy a little four-legged company, Stella is sure to make your time aboard feel even more like home.

Fair winds, salty paws, and warm snuggles await!
