We were fortunate to be invited aboard the marvelous M/Y Starship which was docked at the Monaco Yacht Show last week to mingle with industry folk who came from a variety of ports dotted around the world.
After taking a tour to view this magnificent, well equipped charter yacht, guided by Judy Smith, Starship’s private helicopter pilot, we were in awe of the plush mahogany interior, updated electronics, elliptical machine and water toys available to those guests who would be eligible to take a charter vacation of this sort. She offers 3 King and 1 Queen, 1 twin and one 1 pullman accommodations for up to 12 guests with TV’s DVD’s,CD’s in all cabins. Dining facilities for 10 guests inside and 12 outside.
She is available for charter in the Mediterranean as well as the Caribbean Islands.
Also worthy of a mention were some fabulous vessels adding glamour on a smaller scale…the impossibly stylish classic Rivas, which ferried visitors to the show back and forth across the port to the floating jetties…transported to Monaco on a custom-built Riva carrying truck capable of moving 3 Rivas at a time!
The Monaco Yacht show was glorious as always – weather, yachts, people, exhibits. There’s really nothing like it.
