Boat details

The most versatile and seaworthy charter yacht ever built
Our Ocean Stars are true sailing boats, not made to stay in the ports. They are made to be out there and take you to your next island, in full comfort and with an unparalleled seakeeping. The secret is based on the rigid construction of high displacement, the forgiving hull design and generous sailplan. A real mile-eater with the power of the wind.

A private bow sundeck and an aft swim platform for easy access to the water. Under the rich shade of the bimini, a very spacious cockpit which includes a big table for your seafront meals.

The versatility between double beds and bunk beds in the five cabins, the separate WC for each cabin, the very wide saloon and galley area and the well ventilated, sunny interior is hard to match
