STARSHIP 185′ Yacht Description
-
E-foil:
Ride above the water on today’s most popular electric board toy. -
4x Yamaha VX Deluxe Waverunners:
Plenty of Jet Ski-style action for groups, quick island hops, and towing games. -
36ft water slide:
Sundeck-to-sea slide sets up big family fun and repeat splash sessions.
Beach club first. STARSHIP 185’ is a 185-foot Delta Marine motor yacht (built 2001, refit 2021) with a remodeled beach club that puts the water at your feet and gives the group a real “basecamp” at sea. Add the Jacuzzi and you have a solid plan for both wet and lazy.
Toys for grown-ups. The setup leans hard into playing outside: a 36ft slide off the sundeck, 4x Seabobs, 4x Yamaha VX Deluxe waverunners, and an E-foil for anyone who wants a new skill. Plus an inflatable 15x15 pool and a 15ft trampoline. Ridiculous, in the best way.
Dive and fish ready. Certified divers can use the onboard scuba gear (14 sets), compressor, and 12 tanks, so you are not stuck negotiating with a shore shop every day. There is also deep-sea fishing gear with 10 rods when the group votes for dinner that fought back.
12 guests, real cabins. She sleeps 12 in 6 staterooms, led by a full-beam, main-deck master with a king bed and a his-and-hers ensuite with spa tub. The layout continues with 4 king staterooms total and 2 twin staterooms that are set up with two queen beds each, plus a VIP on the bridge deck with 360-degree views.

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 185′, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price ($68,750 - $110,000), making the charter cost $343,750 to $385,000. 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.

Reviews
The crew of Starship went above and beyond for every experience. The food, the activities, the tablescapes. Anything that they could make special, they did.
We are sad to leave this amazing crew and beautiful boat, but hope to be back soon.
please excuse the delay in getting this message to you about our latest charter on Starship185.
As you know this was our sixth time chartering with you and our first charter on the new Starship185. I must say that everyone was equally overwhelmed with joy and amazement at the new yacht. Captain Steve has put together an incredible crew that was completely in-tune with our group. The Service, friendliness and attention to detail in all aspects of the trip were impressive. The chef Lucie is no doubt one of the best chefs I have had the chance to cross paths with which was also echoed by one of our guests who is a renowned chef in the Montreal area. In all honesty, if I was on the Michelin star selection committee, I would give her and the whole experience a star. We are foodies at heart and our 12 days on Starship were like eating 3 meals a day at a Michelin starred restaurant. We were not served meals, we were served culinary greatness. Everyone looking forward to the day's culinary adventure.
Having Dave Ochs on board as our dive guide made our scuba diving world class. I put in 19 dives on this trip! With Starship having a great compressor setup on board along with the deck crew our scuba outings were seamless and always excellent. We even discovered a new wreck that we spent time exploring over a series of dives. Captain Steve even managed to anchor Starship right on top of the Nasau blue hole where the Turtles and silky sharks were there for us.
The yacht is fabulous, accommodations perfect and the stewards under the expert tutelage of Bea fantastic. Her attention to detail and organisation skills were notable and appreciated and we had a lot of fun.
On behalf of all the guests, xxx and myself, please convey our most grateful appreciation to everyone.
