CLASSIC MOTOR YACHT EASTERN STAR

Chartering Motor Yacht Eastern Star is one of the most stylish ways of celebrating, relaxing, or holding a corporate event.

Designed with casual elegance in mind, her climate controlled interior boasts rich mahogany, gleaming brass, plush furnishings and a wood burning stove that glows on cooler evenings. She is available for day charters for up to 60 guests and for overnight getaways, she accommodates up to 10 guests.

As you discover the joys of the world's most exquisite waterways, our chef will create elegant menus tailored to your group's tastes from Cocktail Receptions and Brunch Buffets to Elegant Dinners... there's even a High Tea on the High Seas.

The Eastern Star decor is reminiscent of a fine New England country inn. Rich Mahogany, wainscoting, gleaming brass, and designed for comfort furnishings enhance the Eastern Star's unique blend of refined and unassuming luxury.

Clusters of intimate seating offer panoramic views from the main saloon, where a wood-burning stove glows on cooler days and nights.  An atmosphere that is both elegant and as comfortable as home.

Whether you are celebrating an elegant event or a casual gathering, you'll enjoy the very best in classic accommodations, spectacular scenery, and an experienced, professional crew, all from the intimate luxury of the classic 85' Motor Yacht Eastern Star.
