The Fishing Boat
Stella is a 2020 NauticStar 28XS Offshore, a serious fishing boat that also gives you great comfort on the water. Her hull is stable at rest and soft in rougher water, and the extreme bow flare pushes spray away from passengers. Twin 300HP Yamahas get you to the fish faster than a traditional charter boat, so you spend more time fishing and less time driving.
- 30' center console, 9'8" wide, up to 6 anglers
- Twin Yamaha F300XCA outboards
- 21° deadrise at the transom, 50° at the bow
- Reverse chine for a quick plane and a high, dry ride
- Open center console with an enclosure for cold mornings
- Two 12-inch Simrad NSS evo3 chartplotters and Simrad radar
- Full bathroom with sink
