Starship
A star
has just been reborn in the trilevel motor yacht Starship, a 143-foot Van Mill
that has recently undergone a major refit. An ever-popular diva of the world
charter fleet, Starship features five staterooms and a new interior by Claudette
Bonville to complement other recent enhancements, including a steam room in the
master stateroom and a Jacuzzi on the flybridge. Known for its extensive toy
box, including a Bell Jet Ranger helicopter (it is the world’s only charter
yacht that carries a helicopter onboard), two kayaks, two 17-foot sailboats, two
Waverunners and water skis, Starship features the same veteran crew that has
earned her such a stellar reputation.
