A closer look
Aft Deck Al Fresco
The expansive aft deck serves as a sophisticated open-air lounge and dining area. Beneath the Caribbean sky, gather for leisurely breakfasts as the islands drift by, or savour a gourmet dinner prepared by your private chef. The gentle sea breeze and panoramic vistas create an idyllic backdrop, whether you're enjoying a morning coffee or a vibrant evening cocktail, perfectly blending the comfort of the yacht with the beauty of the surroundings.
Bridge Deck Jacuzzi
Ascend to the bridge deck and discover the inviting Jacuzzi, a sanctuary for relaxation. Here, the warm, bubbling water offers a soothing respite, perfectly complemented by the expansive views stretching to the horizon. Adjacent to this aquatic haven, the outdoor bar ensures refreshments are always close at hand, allowing for seamless transitions from a refreshing dip to a perfectly mixed sundowner as the day gracefully fades.
Saloon Grandeur
Step into the main saloon, a space designed for convivial gatherings and quiet contemplation. Plush seating arrangements invite guests to unwind, perhaps with a book from the ship's library or while enjoying a film on the integrated entertainment system. Expansive windows frame the passing seascapes, bathing the interior in natural light and fostering a sense of connection to the ocean, all within an elegant and comfortable environment.
Sun Deck Serenity
The sun deck is a haven for those seeking warmth and unimpeded views. Here, comfortable sun loungers beckon for hours of basking, perhaps with a cooling drink from the outdoor bar. An integrated outdoor audio system sets the mood, creating the perfect atmosphere for relaxation or lively conversation, all while enjoying the vastness of the sea and the gentle caress of the tropical sun.
Active Pursuits
For those who prefer to stay active, the yacht offers a well-equipped gym, allowing for invigorating workouts against the backdrop of the Caribbean. Beyond the gym, a selection of bicycles and scooters are available for shore excursions, providing a delightful way to explore charming island towns and hidden coves, adding another dimension to your luxury charter experience.
Accommodation
STARSHIP accommodates twelve guests across five meticulously appointed cabins, each a private sanctuary of comfort. The master suite, a spacious retreat, offers unparalleled privacy and serene ocean views. Guest cabins are thoughtfully designed, providing ample space and luxurious amenities, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a day of Caribbean adventures. Every cabin features its own television and air conditioning, creating individual havens of comfort and entertainment, perfect for unwinding in complete seclusion.
Culinary excellence is at the heart of the STARSHIP experience. The onboard chef crafts bespoke menus tailored to individual preferences, utilising the freshest local ingredients. Whether it's a casual BBQ on the deck, a formal dinner in the main saloon, or light bites served alfresco, each meal is a gastronomic delight. The outdoor bar also provides the perfect setting for pre-dinner drinks or morning coffee, enhancing every dining occasion.
For those prioritising well-being, the yacht offers an array of facilities. An invigorating session in the well-equipped gym provides an excellent start to the day. Later, unwind in the deck Jacuzzi, letting the warm water soothe tired muscles while enjoying panoramic vistas. The gentle sway of the ocean and the tranquil atmosphere of the Caribbean create a truly restorative environment for mind and body.
The water toy garage brims with excitement. Dive into the turquoise waters with Seabobs, paddle across calm bays in kayaks, or feel the thrill of a Waverunner. The inflatable waterslide promises endless fun, while water skis, wakeboards, and towable toys cater to all levels of adventurers. For a novel experience, try the foilboard, or engage in a friendly game on the inflatable trampoline. Windsurfers also await for those who wish to harness the breeze.

STARSHIP: your questions, answered

What a yacht like STARSHIP costs to own — not just to charter
The published weekly rate for STARSHIP is the base charter fee, not an all-in total. APA, taxes, repositioning and itinerary-specific services are confirmed separately. Ownership of a 44m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
