About Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht STARSHIP

STARSHIP is a Van Mill 143 motor yacht built in 1988, offering refined accommodation for up to 12 guests across five thoughtfully appointed cabins. Her 1 master, 2 VIP, 1 guest, and 1 twin cabin configuration ensures privacy and comfort for families, couples, and larger groups exploring the Bahamas and Florida's East Coast.

The main saloon combines relaxation with social spaces, featuring plush seating, a full bar, and entertainment options including a 52-inch television. The formal dining room commands panoramic views from beneath the helm, positioned to frame the bow's approach to anchorages and cays. A particularly distinctive detail is the helm floor itself, where a mosaic of wood pieces depicts a period map of the continents with ancient maritime explorers, lending an understated touch of character to the navigation space.

Guest cabins are generous and well-appointed. The master suite includes a king bed, walk-in closet, and a multi-head steam shower with his-and-hers vanity units. Each VIP cabin features a king bed, whilst the guest cabin offers flexible sleeping arrangements with a queen, Pullman, and sofa bed, making it ideal for families travelling with staff or nannies. Captain Chris Wallace leads a professional crew of nine, including Chef Jess, who prepares international and local cuisines throughout your voyage.

The Charter Experience

Charter STARSHIP from Nassau, Staniel Cay, or the Exumas, with year-round availability along Florida's East Coast. Your days unfold between crystalline reefs, secluded cays, and shallow-draft lagoons accessible by an impressive water sports arsenal. The yacht carries a 37-foot Intrepid centre console, five Yamaha jet skis, kayaks, paddleboards, waverunners, an e-foil, windsurfing equipment, and a 15x25 water slide, alongside snorkelling and fishing gear. Beach setups with gazebos, umbrellas, and a grill transform each anchorage into a private retreat. Nine crew members attend to all details, allowing you to focus entirely on the moment.

Suggested Itinerary

A seven-day charter typically begins in Nassau before proceeding to the Exumas and Staniel Cay. Anchor at the Thunderball Grotto, explore the swimming pigs of the southern Exumas, and dive pristine reef systems. Evening anchorages in secluded lagoons allow for sunset dining on the aft deck, whilst the water sports fleet opens access to shallow-draft exploratory areas beyond the yacht's reach.
