STARSHIP Yacht Description
-
E-foil:
Ride the latest electric foilboard for fast, quiet sessions over flat Caribbean water. -
5 x Yamaha VX 110 Deluxe WaveRunners:
Plenty of Jet Ski time for groups, with easy swaps and quick shoreline exploring. -
Stabilizers at anchor:
Reduced roll overnight and at lunch stops, so everyone sleeps and relaxes better.
Outdoor space wins. STARSHIP is a 143ft/43.6m Van Mill motor yacht that sleeps 12 in 5 cabins, and she is built around guest-friendly deck living across three exterior levels. Big group on board. Still room to spread out.
Jacuzzi, then water. Head up to the deck jacuzzi (noted as an eight-person setup) for the post-swim reset, then drop back down to the large swim platform for easy in-and-out access. Stabilizers underway and at anchor help keep things settled when you are moving or sleeping.
Toy box is serious. Five Yamaha VX 110 Deluxe WaveRunners, a waterslide, an e-foil, Seabobs, wakeboard, water skis, kayaks, windsurf gear, towables, and snorkeling equipment. Plus two tenders including a 38ft/11.6m Intrepid for getting out fast and making the most of the day.
Refit-backed comfort. Built in 1988 and refit as recently as 2017 (with continued upgrades noted into 2020), STARSHIP pairs a fully refurbished interior with a flexible cabin plan: a master, two king cabins, and a queen VIP with a pullman, plus a twin. A proper setup for families or all-adult groups who want options, not negotiations.
Accommodation
Starship's major refit in 2004 and continued upgrades into 2020, have her showing like new. She sleeps twelve guests in 5 staterooms each with en-suite bath. There are also an additional 2 day heads for guest use. She is decorated throughout with rich mahogany wood, elegant marble finishes, fine art and elegant soft goods.The side entrance welcomes guests into an impressive main foyer. The main salon is arranged with a full bar, two sitting areas, one area with a semi circular settee facing the 52" flat screen TV and entertainment system, the next area with inviting sofa and oversized chairs, and the most aft to port set with a game table. The private formal dining is forward with a round table which comfortably seats 10. The fine china, detailed cabinetry and superb view forward provide an intimate and memorable dining experience.
The skylounge area is a great alternative for intimate cocktails and entertaining, or simply to escape to a quieter place for a bit of work at the desk or relaxation in the cozy sofa or chairs. The Master suite is located amidship on the lower deck and features a California King size bed, full seating area with sofa and chairs, large walk-in closets with dressing area and elegant en-suite marble accented bathroom with steam shower.
There are four additional staterooms aft of the Master including a Queen VIP with pullman and sofa bed, two mirrored guest staterooms set with King sized beds and a Twin guest stateroom to starboard. Each stateroom is ensuite with head and shower and fully equipped with flat screen TV, DVD and CD.
Aft of the skylounge is a large square al fresco dining table for 12 guests serviced by a full bar to starboard. Up one level to the flybridge deck, guests can enjoy the jacuzzi, plenty of comfortable sunning areas and seating, wet bar and surround sound music.

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a motor yacht like STARSHIP, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price ($30,000 - $48,000), making the charter cost $150,000 to $168,000. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.

| 3 day charter | 60,000USD to 67,500USD | 12,000USD to 20,250USD | 72,000USD to 87,750USD | The usual formula is the 7 day charter rate divided by 6, times the number of days (3). Boat policy might differ. 120,000USD / 6 * 3 days = 60,000USD |
