I came across Mrs. Robert Stella when she appeared as a guest on a Forex Podcast in the USA. I was very impressed with her straightforward approach and the principles of her trading strategy. I invested $3000 with her company as a trial. I was able to withdraw a profit of $19,000 after some days. Mrs. Robert Stella makes this possible, do well and reach out to her for a secure investment too. Email: robertstella385@gmail.com WhatsApp: +1 (717) 742-0664

My family and I had the best morning fishing! Captain Ben was amazing! He’s knowledgeable and kindly answered all our questions. Our youngest who was just so excited to catch a fish caught many. We can’t wait to go out again next year!

Had an awesome morning! We hammered the mackerel right off the bat, and caught my first bluefish! Ben is a knowledgeable local captain. We grew up fishing the same spots as kids that constantly produce. The out-of-towners I brought along had a blast! Highly recommended!

Our day on the water with Ben was a blast! Started with bait fishing for mackerel, biting so fast no time for pictures! He then took us to a great spot and caught 5 striped bass. They really put up a good fight! Ben knows his fishing spots well and is so helpful and friendly! He made the experience seem like we were pros! Don't hesitate to join him on a fishing trip on the Kristin K.

What a great trip! Two couples, three new to fishing, experienced and fun Captain Ben! Everyone brought fish on board! Great trip. Caught fish, spent quality time with friends and even saw several historic sites along the way. CPT Ben, we will be back!

Me and three friends went striper fishing and had a blast! Ben was an awesome captain (and cool to hang with) and knew where all the spots were. We went to hook some baitfish and immediately had perfect mackerel on the line. Once we stocked up on mackerel we headed to our first great spot to catch striper. We all were able to catch striper in a few different spots while enjoying cold beverages on the boat.. there a was also a nice, clean head (bathroom) on the boat, which is great! I would highly recommend this boat and captain to anybody wanting to go on the water, fishing or not.

Myself and my 7-yr old went out for a 4-hr charter and had a blast. Captain Ben knows the bay really well, and it showed. A great day of fishing!

Such an incredible morning on Casco Bay. Kids probably caught 100-150 Mackerel! We even saw a dolphin! Captain Ben was fantastic! We arrived a few minutes early and he was ready and waiting for us! He got us to where we were going within 10 mins. He had friends out on the water that radio-ed over their location. Within 30 seconds of the lines being in the water, both kids had a fish on! Although the boys were catching Mackeral (small fish), there were often 3-5 on the line at the same time so they definitely felt a good fight! In the few minutes that there weren't fish on, we watched lobster boats off-loading their traps. We saw seals swimming and even caught a dolphin on video! Captain Ben was so knowledgeable. He heard the dolphin before he saw it, which enabled us the opportunity to grab a phone for a video. This trip was eventful, entertaining and informative! My only regret in booking with Kristin K Charter, is booking so late in the season. The trip was so much, it left us wanting more! Whether you're a local (like me) or from “away,” this is a great opportunity to experience Maine! Can’t wait to do this again!

Lisa Duggan September 3, 2021

We did the four hour bay trip. Captain Ben is a great fisherman and an even better guy. We learned a great deal about fishing for striped bass, good local places, and caught 15 or so fish. As a side note, the trip we chose meant being able to see the shore and land made it a lot easier not to get seasick. I’m sure the 8-hour full day deep sea fishing trip with Captain Ben would be an incredible experience.

Hands down the best captain for shark fishing. Says he's been taking people out for the last 18 years. & When a shark bites, he still to this day gets pumped up and we loved that! He let us experience the fight of a shark & gave helpful tips while reeling the shark in. We will definitely be back next year!

Ben, for the past YEAR, planning this AMAZING & UNFORGETTABLE trek 20 miles out into Ocean has been nothing short of wonderful... he's patient, professional, easy to work with & super informative. Responsive. All that it takes to make a GREAT business owner, and professional. I sent the most loved men of mine out with him shark 🦈 fishing... they caught 6 *almost 7!*, fought for them, had the time of their lives, and created memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you so much Ben!

I travelled with my family from San Antonio, TX and Captain Ben made sure that we safely went out on the water after making some adjustments to our original plan due to unexpected weather and we were still able to have a great experience and catch fish!

My wife and I, new to visiting Maine, were extremely impressed with Captain Ben's knowledge of fishing, and food in the area. We purchased 2 guided days, and even in sub par weather we ended up catching fish. Great guy with family ties to Maine's extensive fishing heritage. We would highly recommend to any level of fisherman, he is phenomenal!

Without a doubt, 5 out of 5 for amazing communication from Captain Ben! Unfortunately, Mother Nature decided to throw rain and wind at us over the course of the 2 days we were visiting the area so we weren't able to go out on the sunset cruise. However, Captain Ben stayed in contact with me throughout my trip and kept me up to date with what was happening at every turn. If we're ever back in the area, I will absolutely book again!

First trip with captain Ben and it will not be my last. Great charter, very professional, Ben brings a level of energy that you can’t help but admire. Came away with a cooler full of haddock and cusk. Got to see whales breaching and seals playing near the boat. Can’t wait for my next trip!! ***Update*** From my first trip to my most recent all of my charters with Ben have been great. From ground fish to stripers to sharks Ben has been my go to for fishing saltwater in New England. While I have options closer to home I always find myself making the trip to Portland to go fishing with Ben.

Going out with Kristin K Charters was one of the best decisions we made on our two week Maine trip. Captain Ben was fun, knowledgeable and definitely a family guy; we had our 6 year old and 18 month old with us and he made sure we all had a blast. We brought home a bunch of mackerel and hooked some pollock and cudder - even a Black Sea Bass. This morning is one of the best memories from our trip - can’t wait to come back and do it again!

If you're looking for a Shark fishing experience, look no further than Captain Ben and Kristin K Charters. Not only is Captain Ben knowledgeable and friendly, he is spot on with his timing and expertise in all things SHARKS. Despite the swells between 2-4 feet, we had the experience of a lifetime. Chum in the water, oil slick away and within 1 hour or so VOILA! Blue Sharks galore! They put up a good fight and Captain Ben was there every step of the way with us. Telling us exactly what to expect, what to do and the best way to enjoy the experience when you get them to the side of the boat. Bonus tip: Captain Ben even knew the signs to look for BEFORE the Sharks arrived and we were in the MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN! When the fin breaches the water, your adrenaline starts to roar. Do yourself a favor and book your trip with Captain Ben. Our group has done a lot of things together over the years and this was hands down THE BEST one yet. Thanks, Captain Ben, for everything!

Last day out before a tropical depression moved in, I caught 11 blue sharks, and lost a mako twice. Ben enjoys fried chicken... So I bring him a couple drum sticks to make sure he is happy. Great fisherman, fun to fish with. T

Had a great trip with Captain Ben. Caught a bunch of mackerel, pollock and cod. He really ensures you are having a great time and getting on fish. Definitely recommended.

We went out with Capt Ben on July 18th and we were not disappointed! It turned out to be a beautiful day on the water and Capt Ben put us on 3 gorgeous Blue Sharks! Capt Ben is a very knowledgeable guide with a lot of experience and very personable. We highly recommend his services and most definitely would book a trip with Kristin K Charters again!

Choose this charter over all the others. The captin was great to fish with and very informative. We caught 16 fish from our party of 3. The boat was clean when you come aboard and the ride out was amazing. If we seemed to not get any bites, the captin quickly rerouted and took us to where the fish were biting. I would book this again.

A group of four of us try to go out with cpt. Ben once a summer. His personality and skills keep us entertained and fish on the lines. We highly recommend him for your fishing charters.

Unfortunately my phone wouldn't let me post the pics in the visitor posts, so i can only go by words- it was a blast! Captain Ben put my uncle and myself on multiple sharks on a day that everyone around us was struggling to catch fish, we hooked into ten and caught seven. We were definitely not disappointed, that's for sure, thank you captain Ben and Kristen k for putting us into hard fighting shark action!

Captain Ben is in a league of his own!! We spent a day fishing with him and caught a variety of fish, big and small, and ended up limiting out on Haddock! We couldn't have had a better time with a fishing guide - Ben is just a blast to fish with - the best guide and the best day fishing we have ever had! Highly recommend for anyone with kids, too. We will be back!!! Thank you for such a great time Ben!!

Kristin k charters by far the best charter fishing boat I've been on, we slayed the sharks (16) while other boats were wanting to know our secret!!! Ben is a great captain with lots of knowledge of the area and sea life, I would recommend him to anybody looking for the absolute best time on the ocean. Can't wait to grounds fish with you in sept!!

We went shark fishing today and caught 16 blues and lost 4 more. Non-stop action and excitement. He put us on the fish fast and while we were slaying the blues we heard other charters on the radio hadn't caught anything. Very knowledgeable and a very nice guy. Would recommend him to anyone that wants a charter on the ocean.

I was very impressed with the family fun cruise. I took out my 5 year old and he had a blast. Captain Ben was very personable and did great entertaining my boy's questions about fish and the ocean. We caught a ton of fish and it was the perfect amount of time. At 1:45 into a 2 hour trip, my boy said he was done and ready to go home. Ideal for anyone looking to take out young kids. Already booked him for when we come back this summer!

Been chartering with Capt Ben for about 10 years. He has a fast boat and we always catch fish. It's funny that other captains are always calling him on the vhf to find out where the bite is. He is confident not cocky, and treats us like friends not clients. Highly recommend Kristin k charters in Maine

What an Adventure! My husband caught 9 sharks....8 Blue sharks and 1 Mako. Never in a million years did we think we would even catch 1! The first shark was a 12' Blue and it hit the line within 40 minutes. Captain Ben's expertise made this an extremely successful charter. We have no regrets. What we do have are exciting and thrilling memories that we will never forget. Dana and Ray Davisburg, MI

Capt Ben and Kristin K charters have taken myself and my family out for about 10 years now. We always have a great time and usually catch some great fish. His boat is clean, fast, and always in tip-top shape. My family has also fished with Capt Ben Gardner in the Florida Keys. Highly reccomend to anyone interested in a great day on the water.

This was the best charter I have ever been on and I have fished all around the world. Capt. Ben really knows the offshore waters in Maine. He put me and my family on so many monster sharks and we broke off a Giant Bluefin Tuna. He was wonderful with my children and taught us how to fish. He runs a first class biz, and everything he told us prior to booking came true. We will be back every summer. Thanks so much.
