You will be guided through the Bahamas by an energetic crew of 9 led by Captain Chris Wallace aboard the luxury motor yacht STARSHIP. With more than 20 years in yachting, a strong background in navigation, engineering, water sports, and guest care, Captain Chris brings the kind of calm experience guests feel from the moment they step onboard. Mate Carla supports him with 9 years in yachting, a 200 Ton Yacht Master License, and PADI Open Water Instructor credentials, while Chief Engineer James keeps the yacht running smoothly with his SV 9000/3000KW Second Engineer Unlimited qualification. Bosun Dane and Deckhand Brian Hopton complete the deck team with strong water-sports energy, guest activity support, photography, videography, and dependable care around every anchorage in the Bahamas.

Chef Jess brings the flavor of the charter to life with 10 years in yachting, culinary school training, wine and spirit certification, PADI Advanced Open Water Diver credentials, and a natural love for coastal living. Her dining style gives guests something to look forward to after every swim, snorkel, paddleboard session, or sunlit cruise through the Bahamas. Chief Stew Dani leads the interior with warmth, polish, and a natural sense of hospitality, supported by Second Stewardess Sarah Lee Alcock, whose wine, cocktail, food service, and guest-care training add finesse to every table setting and drink service. Mikaela, the 3rd Stew and trained pastry chef, brings an extra layer of sweetness and detail to the onboard experience.

What makes STARSHIP’s crew special is how naturally their skills translate into guest comfort. Captain Chris creates confidence at the helm, Carla brings dive and water-safety awareness, James keeps the technical side quiet and reliable, Dane brings hands-on deck knowledge, and Brian captures the fun so guests can relive the best moments long after the charter. With Jess creating thoughtful dining, Dani shaping the service mood, Sarah adding detail and creativity, and Mikaela bringing pastry skill and warmth, guests can enjoy the Bahamas knowing they will be safe, well fed, beautifully hosted, and fully free to enjoy every blue-water moment.

Overview:
STARSHIP feels made for guests who want the Bahamas with space, personality, and a strong sense of occasion. This massive Van Mill 143 luxury motor yacht pairs a cutting-edge, refined exterior with seamless cruising comfort, giving 12 guests a stylish base for exploring the islands without feeling rushed or crowded. Her amenities are designed for recreation, socialization, and relaxation, so every guest can find their own rhythm between deck time, dining, water fun, and quiet moments at sea.

The aft deck sets the tone with an elegant alfresco dining area, where a seafood-themed dinner can unfold while the yacht rests beside one of the magnificent islands of the Exumas. As the next morning begins, guests can gather on the sky deck or bridge deck for a hearty Bahamian breakfast, tasting Souse and Stewed Conch as the breeze moves across the table. The sundeck brings the day higher above the water, with panoramic views of Paradise Island, plush seating for loved ones, cocktails or mocktails in hand, the jacuzzi ready for a dip, and sunbathing areas made for slow hours in the warmth.

The saloon offers a cozy change of pace when guests want to step away from the sun without losing the pleasure of being together. Plush overstuffed chairs and sofas create a comfortable setting for conversation, storytelling, and remembering the day’s best moments. A full bar adds a social touch, while the game table gives guests a reason to linger after dinner. With a 52-inch flat-screen TV and plenty of entertainment options, STARSHIP makes indoor downtime feel just as inviting as her open decks.

A more formal experience awaits, where the private dining room brings panoramic views and a sense of occasion to meals indoors. The round dining space sits below the helm, encircled by windows that look over the bow and frame the blue outside. Even though many guests will naturally gravitate toward alfresco dining in the Bahamas, this room offers a special kind of atmosphere for meaningful dinners and private gatherings. The helm adds another layer of character with its astonishing floor, where a mosaic of wood pieces depicts a period map of the continents with ancient mariners standing watch.

When the day winds down, the lower-level staterooms welcome guests into restful spaces with generous room for everyone. The master cabin features a king bed, a walk-in closet, a bathroom with a multi-head steam shower, and his-and-hers vanity units, creating a private place to fully recharge. Each of the 2 VIP cabins includes a king bed, while the remaining guest cabins are arranged with a queen bed, 2 single beds, and a Pullman, giving STARSHIP flexible accommodation for families and groups.

The water-toy collection brings energy to each stop, inviting guests to explore reefs, cays, and lagoons across the Bahamas. One anchorage can become a morning of discovery, another a playful afternoon on the water, and another a peaceful return to the yacht for drinks and dinner. STARSHIP keeps every part of the day connected, from local food and panoramic dining to games, jacuzzi time, and water adventures. She turns the Bahamas into a full-bodied charter experience with room for fun, flavor, and complete relaxation.
