My family and I had a great half-day sail with Capt. Stefan on March 27. I was getting back into sailing and he showed me the basics of boat docking and handling along with sail trim. He let me work much of the helm and adjust the sails during the tack.
He was very professional, the boat was beautiful, and provided a relaxing and fun excursion out on Tampa Bay for all of us. Highly recommended.

My wife and I had a wonderful half day sail with Captain Stefan. Very nice boat and beautiful conditions on the bay. Captain Stefan was generous with his extensive sailing knowledge and let us take the helm as well as relax on the deck. Highly recommended.

Having been a successful cruising class sailboat racer on the Chesapeake 30 years ago, my son and fiancee gave me a Half-Day Charter with Captain Stefan for my 80th Birthday. After assessing my skills leaving the harbor, Captain Stefan turned the helm of his lovely Beneteau 373 to me for the remainder of the cruise. He instructed me on his modern navigational suite and autopilot unavailable to me 30 years ago. He and his assistant handled the roller-furling main & jib for all points of sail. I couldn't have been more delighted. His gracious sharing of skills and knowledge made the afternoon perfect.

My family and I wanted to charter a sunset cruise, and we just happened upon Captain Stefan and we were not disappointed. He is a sailing instructor who does charters on the side, so he knows his stuff! You are in good hands if you book with him. He is personable and respectful of your privacy. He is THE best!

Captain Stefan is an exceptional sailor and host!
His friendly demeanor, sense of humor, and extensive knowledge of sailing made our sunset charter a truly memorable experience. He even helped set up a romantic proposal for my girlfriend, took pictures, and regaled us with captivating stories.
Highly recommended for an unforgettable sailing adventure! Thank you, Captain Stefan!

My fiancé and I did an engagement photo shoot on Captain Stefan's sailboat yesterday. He was one of the easiest people to work with, flexible, professional and just overall great (and fun) to be around. It was a windy evening and he made us feel at ease. The boat was as clean and beautiful as pictured on his website. 100/10 would recommend and would love to go on another sail with Captain Stefan!

I booked a charter for my husband's 50th birthday. Captain Stefan promised to make his birthday special and he definitely didn't disappoint. The sailboat was well maintained and beautiful. Captain Stefan was entertaining and professional. We had a nice day on the water despite the red tide. We were able to chill and enjoy the water. I am so looking forward to the next time. Thank you Captain Stefan for making the day so special. We really appreciated it. Recommend his charter service to anyone looking for a special and affordable experience.

Had a great day sailing Tampa Bay with Captain Stefan. The weather was perfect and had good wind! Captain Stefan was a great host. We are new sailors and learned a lot from a day on the water. The L'Ardeur is a beautiful vessel and is clean and well maintained. Highly recommend chartering with Captain Stefan - you won't be disappointed in the experience!

Our party of four went for a wonderfful sailboat ride with Captain Stefan to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday. We caught an excellent breeze, popped a bottle of champagne, told stories, watched the sun set. Couldn't have been better. We'll definitely do this again.

We had a great day out on the water with Captain Stefan. His boat is well maintained and spotlessly clean. We learned a lot about sailing from the Captain who was happy to share his sailing experience with us while Jimmy Buffet was playing in the background. All this on the fly as we booked Sundays charter on Saturday evening. The stars were aligned. A good time was had by all. Captain Stefan and his boat come highly recommended.
