On-Board ORIENT STAR

Luxurious interiors

Stepping into her main salon, charter guests are welcomed to a chic space in a monochromatic palette of neutral shades, populated by modern furnishings and surrounded by large windows. Upon entry, a stewardess awaits to greet guests with refreshments from a wide granite sideboard, opposite two modular chairs overlooked by a vast contemporary canvas. 

The main salon itself plays host to a pair of large facing sofas, with two additional armchairs positioned further forward, presenting a warm and welcoming vibe, while her space-enhancing reflective ceiling adds a lustrous sheen over the whole scene. 

Sleek coffee tables, camel leather footstools and black and white artwork add a thoroughly modern edge, while soft amber lighting adds warmth.

The yacht also offers its guests state-of-the-art AV/IT systems, with iPad consoles controlling everything from lights to blinds and everything in between, with Netflix, YouTube and over 3,000 movies adding to the entertainment package. Starlink Maritime has also been recently installed enabling fast downloads of up to 350MB per second – ideal for those needing to combine business with pleasure, as well as fast streaming for the younger adults.

Spurning the usual open-plan layout, her formal dining room is discreetly hidden behind a central bulkhead, cleverly partitioning the area from the main social space on this deck level. Here, a refectory dining table for 10 is laid out invitingly atop a plush rug, with more modern artwork adding a pop of color to the neutral scheme.

This dining area leads into a softly carpeted guest foyer, with direct access to her guest accommodation and main social spaces on her upper decks. There is also a convenient granite-clad day head on this level, with Molton Brown products and a frosted window that can be turned off for views over the water.

Beautiful accommodation

Leading directly off the guest foyer on the main deck level is a generous master stateroom with full length windows offering stunning over-water views. This cabin comes complete with a large central king-size bed, huge walk-in-wardrobe and marbled en suite. 

There is also a study area with a desk on the port side, with a small lounge and coffee table located on her starboard side.

Again, an iPad console conveniently controls the blackout blinds, lights, TV, sound and entertainment system, with on-call service available via a bedside telephone. 

There is also a safe locker, as well as a full safety compliant emergency exit located behind the wardrobes, with steps leading directly to the forward cockpit area in case of an emergency evacuation.

The remainder of her cabins are located on her lower deck, comprising two large double cabins, each with pillow-soft king-size beds, and two twin cabins that are surprisingly spacious for this size yacht. 

Each cabin also comes equipped with plenty of storage, plus the full complement of movies, Netflix and other entertainment options, as well as beautiful granite en suites complete with Molton Brown products and soft towels.

Heading back upstairs to her guest foyer, guests can access her upper deck from here, where they’ll find another convenient day head serving this level. This area leads directly to her bright and airy sky lounge.

Boasting huge floor-to-ceiling windows, this area is flooded with natural light giving the space a loft feel, with French-style balconies either side adding a harmonious connection to her outdoor spaces, with glorious views across the water. By night, this space transforms into a sophisticated and elegant lounge with recessed lighting adding to the seductive vibe.

Guests can relax or be entertained in this space, with a comfortable sofa, games tables, Playstation 4 and a movie set-up all adding to the sense of occasion.

There is also a partitioned bar and lounge area further aft, perfect for a pre dinner aperitif or cocktail party. A service button is on-hand to call crew members no matter where they are on the yacht, ensuring smooth service during busy times.

These discreet buttons are conveniently located throughout the yacht, perfect for guests that wish for more privacy from the crew.

Alfresco dining and socialising

Moving outside, there is a large alfresco dining table for 12 guests, with additional seating and small tables overlooking her aft deck area. Canopies provide sun protection without detracting from the beautiful views. 

There is an additional dining area with circular seating and director chairs on her main deck aft, perfect for alfresco breakfast buffets.

Opportunities to enjoy the views continue on the sundeck, where guests can slide into the jacuzzi or stretch out on the large bank of sunpads and soak up the sun. Guests have an additional dining option here as well, with a bar adding to the convivial nature of this level.

This flydeck can also be used as a fitness area, with yoga mats, weights and a TRX machine available for early morning workouts. One of the crew is also a certified fitness instructor and can devise tailor-made regimes for guests while on board.

Parties, barbeques and toys galore

As a yacht famed for its revelries, the long-standing crew are well used to catering for a party crowd, with a top-of-the-range sound system and professional DJ on standby should the guests wish to crank the entertainment level up a few notches while on charter.

The crew are also able to deploy a wide range of equipment, such as a gazebo, toys, candles, tables etc, at a moment’s notice, should you and your guests desire a beach barbeque or sundowners on your very own secluded stretch of sand. 

Adding to this waterside element, the yacht has a locker packed full of the latest toys and accessories, including an e-foiling board, inflatable pontoon, electric wake surf and array of seabobs, all of which can be launched from her hydraulic swim platform, which provides easy access to the sea.

She also comes equipped with a 9-meter chase tender perfect for discovering idyllic islands and beautiful lagoons away from the mothership. 

If you’ve never dipped your toes in the charter waters before, motor yacht ORIENT STAR is the perfect choice. A winning combination of luxury amenities and warm cordiality from her amazing and long-standing crew, she promises truly memorable yacht charters whatever the destination.
