A closer look
Aft Deck Al Fresco
The expansive aft deck serves as the heart of outdoor living. Beneath the canvas shade, a polished teak table invites long, languid breakfasts as the morning sun kisses the Aegean. In the evenings, with the gentle sea breeze as your companion, it transforms into an idyllic setting for moonlit dinners, the rhythmic lapping of waves providing a natural soundtrack to whispered conversations and shared laughter. It is a space designed for connection, framed by endless ocean vistas.
Saloon's Gentle Embrace
Step into the saloon, a sanctuary of cool calm after a sun-drenched day. Rich, natural wood finishes and soft, inviting upholstery create an atmosphere of understated luxury. Here, the indoor audio system fills the air with your chosen melodies, while generous windows frame ever-changing seascapes. This central gathering point offers a comfortable retreat for reading from the yacht's curated library or simply unwinding with a refreshing drink, bathed in the soft glow of interior lighting.
Foredeck's Sun-Kissed Haven
The foredeck is a privileged perch for sun worshippers and stargazers alike. Plush sun pads beckon, offering an uninterrupted expanse for soaking in the Mediterranean warmth. As the yacht glides silently across the water, feel the exhilarating spray on your skin, or in the stillness of night, lie back and watch constellations emerge in the inky blackness above. It's a prime vantage point for dolphin spotting or simply losing oneself in the vastness of the sea.
Helm Station's Command
The helm station, a marvel of naval architecture, is where the yacht's spirit truly comes alive. From here, the skilled captain navigates with precision, charting courses to secluded coves and vibrant island ports. Guests are welcome to observe the intricate dance of sails and steering, gaining a fascinating insight into the art of yachting. The panoramic views from this elevated position offer a commanding perspective of the journey ahead, inspiring a sense of adventure.
Lower Deck Lounge
Beyond the formal saloon, a more intimate lower deck lounge provides a quiet escape. Perfect for an afternoon siesta or a private moment with a good book, this cosy nook offers a different perspective on the yacht's interior. With subtle lighting and comfortable seating, it’s an ideal spot for personal reflection or enjoying a film on one of the cabin TVs, offering a welcome respite from the sun's intensity.
Accommodation
Starlight offers two beautifully appointed cabins, providing a private haven for up to four guests. The master suite, positioned forward, boasts generous proportions and thoughtful details, ensuring supreme comfort. Each cabin is a serene retreat, featuring individual climate control, ample storage, and a private television for evening entertainment. The layout is designed to maximise space and natural light, creating an airy and inviting atmosphere for restful nights at sea, ensuring every guest feels utterly at home amidst the gentle rhythm of the waves.
Crew separate heads · Crew separate shower
Culinary delights aboard Starlight are tailored to your precise preferences, with the dedicated crew adept at catering to special diets. Every meal is a celebration, from vibrant Mediterranean breakfasts enjoyed on the aft deck, to sophisticated three-course dinners served under the stars. Ingredients are sourced locally where possible, ensuring freshness and authenticity. The chef transforms simple provisions into exquisite dishes, creating memorable gastronomic experiences that reflect the richness of the cruising region.
While Starlight does not feature a dedicated spa or gym, the entire yacht, and indeed the surrounding East Mediterranean, fosters a profound sense of wellbeing. Daily swims in crystal-clear waters, paddleboarding at dawn, or simply unwinding on the sun-drenched deck with a captivating novel contribute to a deep sense of rejuvenation. The gentle motion of the yacht and the invigorating sea air provide a natural, holistic approach to relaxation and inner calm.
The azure waters of the East Mediterranean are your personal playground with Starlight's selection of exciting water toys. Glide effortlessly across the surface on the paddleboards, exploring hidden coves and observing marine life from a unique vantage point. For an exhilarating burst of speed, the towable tube promises laughter and splashes, pulled behind the tender. These toys offer perfect opportunities for both active exploration and playful fun on the water, enhancing every moment of your charter.

What a yacht like STARLIGHT costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on STARLIGHT is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 17m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
