Stepping onboard STARSHIP feels so welcoming, like visiting the estate of a friend.  The rich, dark tones of makore and mahogany wood throughout the yacht impart an Old World dignity.  Objets d\u2019art, well worthy of pause; add a dash of lightheartedness to every space. A d\u00e9cor that manages to be beautiful, refined and comfortable makes guests feel at once esteemed and embraced.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Starship-Main.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3277\" title=\"Starship Main\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Starship-Main-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"157\" height=\"210\" \/><\/a>The salon on STARSHIP has plush overstuffed chairs and sofa grouped for conversation.

STARSHIP is a very popular option for day charters cruising the Intracoastal Waterway and Biscayne Bay. But be forewarned, there is a level of comfort and relaxation on board that is so enveloping that time slips away.
