Your boat
Star Flyer: Tall ship
The Star Flyer is a true queen of the seas, a majestic clipper ship that proudly embodies the tradition of the legendary 19th century clipper ships. Built in 1991, this impressive sailing ship was the first of the Star Clippers and marked the beginning of a success story in the world of sailing cruising. At an imposing 115.5 metres in length, the Star Flyer reinterprets the great era of historic clipper ships in every inch of her structure: from her sleek streamlined hull and four mighty 63-metre-high masts, to her solid wooden rudder and classic nautical-style interior décor.
What makes the Star Flyer truly special is her ability to uniquely combine this seafaring heritage with the comforts of modern sailing. She is not only a truly grand sailing yacht, sailing the seas under 16 sails with a sail area of 3,365 square metres, capable of speeds between 5 and 17 knots, but also a modern cruise ship offering her 166 passengers an individualised holiday experience in an intimate and private atmosphere, served by a crew of 74 professionals.
On board the Star Flyer, passengers will find a level of comfort rarely found on a sailing yacht: spacious cabins equipped with private marble-finished shower bathrooms, air conditioning, flat screen televisions with DVD player, hairdryer, safe, radio and telephone. The elegant restaurant with free choice of seating invites you to enjoy exquisite cuisine, while the library with fireplace transports guests to the exclusive atmosphere of a distinguished English private club.
The spacious decks lined with noble teak wood invite you to stroll and relax, offering more free space per passenger than on most conventional cruise ships. Under the white sails and blue skies, everyday stresses quickly disappear, giving way to an almost forgotten sense of calm and deep relaxation. For refreshment, the ship has two pools on deck, complemented by two bars: the indoor Piano Bar and its open-air counterpart, the Tropical Bar.
The Star Flyer is registered in Malta and classified by DNV with a "1A1+" rating, a guarantee of the highest safety and quality standards. Sailing days aboard this clipper sailing yacht are worth double and triple, creating indelible memories that awaken the desire to repeat such an experience. It is the ideal boat for romantic travellers, lovers of sailing, couples looking for a different experience and all those who dream of living the magic of sailing the sea as the great sailors of the past did, but with all the comforts of the present.
