Designed by world renowned naval architect Don Brooke and built by Thackwray Yachts in 1980, YONDER STAR has undergone multiple refits including a rebuild in 1999, a full renovation in 2001, and most recently a refurbishment in 2017/18.
Yonder Star is a true Gentleman’s yacht; the finish and true attention to detail is a testament to her previous owners. Varnished mahogany, gold coated fittings and soft furnishings hand picked and imported from Europe are complimented by her sleek white and black boot stripe exterior to complete her superyacht finish.
Head below deck to be greeted by multiple split living areas that give a real sense of space and luxury – one that would be expected of a much larger yacht. The lower saloon and formal dining area is easily serviced by the professionally equipped galley which is tucked down off to the port side – accessible yet unobtrusive.
Accommodation is made up of 4 guest cabins + crew cabin. Cabin 1 is a full beam double master cabin with generous ensuite, cabin 2 - double guest cabin with en suite, cabin 3 - forward double guest cabin with heads/day head opposite and cabin 4 is a bow bunk cabin with ensuite and internal/external access if required for crew. The double crew cabin is located midships and has its own en-suite.
An extensive sail wardrobe is complemented by the upgraded alloy rig featuring Leisure Furl booms with fully battened main and mizzen sails. Her large spinnaker and mizzen reacher allow you to lap up the miles on those long downwind legs between the islands.
With an overall length of 87 ft, Yonder Star is your opportunity to own an owner operator superyacht with fantastic ocean cruising ability.
Yonder Star is in current MOSS (Maritime Operator Safety System) - inshore NZ, all waters charter for 26 guests by day and 8 by night. Continue with charters to offset ownership costs or take advantage of the demand for New Zealand’s largest NZ flagged luxury charter sailing yacht.
