STELLA BLUE Yacht Description
Stella Blue is a 50’ Xquisite X5 sailing catamaran (Hull #16, built in 2021), expertly handcrafted in South Africa. Designed for true bluewater cruising, she has confidently crossed the Atlantic multiple times and continues to shine with thoughtful upgrades that enhance both her comfort and performance.
Her layout is the sought-after owner’s version, offering a spacious full-length suite on the starboard side, plus two luxurious guest cabins on the port side—each with its own ensuite featuring a separate shower, head, and vanity. The interior is bright and inviting, with a large island galley and an open-plan lounge/dining area perfect for sharing meals, playing games, or simply relaxing.
Outside, Stella Blue offers multiple areas to unwind. The generous cockpit includes a large dining table and plush lounge seating, while a smaller daybed nook beckons for cozy afternoon naps. Aft, guests can enjoy a full-width chaise lounge—an ideal spot for stargazing or soaking up sea views. Forward, twin trampolines and ample deck space invite sunbathing and quiet moments under sail.
Wide side decks ensure safe passage fore and aft, and an integrated overhead shower at the transom makes rinsing off after a swim easy. For a truly unique experience, Captain David recommends the “Lanai”—a breezy shaded spot between the hulls, perfect for floating in comfort and style.
As one of only 30 Xquisite X5 catamarans ever built, Stella Blue stands apart—rare, refined, and ready to deliver an unforgettable charter experience.

Captain: David Elenbaum
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.
