From the moment you step aboard 5 STAR, a 2008 model Beneteau, you will understand why she is so named. A star for Service, Style, Sports, Seamanship & Safety - we aim to give you a 5 STAR experience.

Serving couples who are celebrating a special event or who just need a break from everyday life, we will work with you to customize a cruise which includes as many (or as few) of your favorite activities, water sports, meal choices and refreshments.

Above deck, comfortable cushions, strategically placed drink holders and storage for sun creams, books and binoculars make the spacious covered cockpit the ideal place to relax while under sail or at anchor. Sections of the bimini can be removed for the sun lovers or left in place for those seeking shade. Twin steering wheels make sailing on either tack effortless and there is plenty room for reeling in the catch of the day.

Below deck, cream leather and brilliant woodwork provide a modern and contemporary look. Panoramic windows provide spacious and airy accommodations. A L- shaped galley is located to port of the companionway with navigation station opposite. The main saloon is elegant and comfortable with recessed lighting providing ambient light throughout.

The forward en- suite cabin provides guests with surprising comfort and amenities. Egyptian cotton linens adorn the Tempur- Pedic queen berth. Air- conditioning and individual fans make for a cool and peaceful nights sleep. A Bose iPod docking station and laptop are available for Internet, music, audiobooks & digital movies. The private en- suite features a fresh water shower and a convenient electric toilet. Complimentary shower gels & skin lotions are provided.

Guest Feedback

Captain Hugh was amazing! He was very friendly and attentive. He became a part of our vacation as a friend, not just the Captain of the yacht. Hugh was very good at being a part of the fun, but also slipping away and allowing us some down-time on our own as well. Everything he did facilitated an experience beyond our expectations! Hugh is a skilled and confident Captain and host - our highest praises all the way around!
