Brightest Star of the Sea

Unequalled sensations in unparalleled space import you to new
horizons. |
|
Step aboard LONE STAR and experience
the most spectacular vacation of your life. This magnificent 85-foot
private yacht is the largest catamaran in the Caribbean and offers
a host of amenities not found anywhere else -- at any price. Completely
refitted in 2000, LONE STAR is everything you'd expect from a five-star
resort -- plus so much more.

Dine alfresco around the spacious cockpit
table, or entertain in elegant style in the immense salon and bar
area. Whatever your wishes from formal to laid-back, your expert crew
will be at your beck and call to make sure your time aboard LONE STAR
will be unforgettable.
Air-conditioned throughout, LONE STAR
features one of the most lavish and spacious salon and bar areas found
on any luxury yacht. Outside, enjoy over 2500 square feet of uncluttered
deck space, a large cockpit seating/dining area and too many over-stuffed
sun cushions to count! Discover LONE STAR ... the perfect blend of
luxury, comfort and space.



The 2,700 square feet
of interior are spaciously arranged and furnished with elegance and
comfort. In the main salon of 500 square feet, which includes the
dining room and bar, there is a 360° unobstructed view of the sea
and the islands.

One of two single cabins
Each LONE STAR cruise is an extraordinary
experience because it boasts the one amenity missing on even the largest
of private yachts -- an abundance of space! Inside, you'll find a
total of six generously sized staterooms (four queens and two twins).
Each is complete with its own private, en-suite bathroom and shower
along with a separate seating area and ample closet space. These extensive
guest quarters will accommodate up to a party of 12 people in a truly
relaxed yet refined style.
Elegant lines and an
imposing sail surface of nearly 3,100 square feet give this multihull
an uncommon cruising speed of 12-14 knots. With an increase in wind,
they will accelerate to 16-18 knots with vivacity. In very good conditions,
you will experience moments that only world class sailors know: speed
up to 20-24 knots, bows smoking with spray. This speed is attained
in complete comfort thanks to a stability factor that is beyond reproach.


The six passenger cabins,
from 125 to 160 square feet, are truly considered with detail and
harmony: there is a large bed, private bathroom, mini laser stereo
system ...
Aboard such yachts as
LONE STAR, leisure activities assume another dimension. An open-air
launching platform aft of each hull is the perfect spot from which
to sample the warm, clear tropical waters. Watersports such as swimming,
windsurfing, sea kayaking, and water skiing become natural activities.
In the evening, a delicious iced cocktail in hand, comfortably installed
on the spacious sofas, you may hesitate between Mozart's "Marriage
of Figaro" or Duke Ellington. All sorts of games are available,
unless you decide to watch a video projection. Activities are there
for the taking, never imposed, always refined.

LONE STAR allows you
to discover differently the Caribbean Sea, from the British Virgin
Islands to Martinique. (Delivery fee may apply ). Choose your point
of departure and the speed, elegance and comfort of these ships will
provide you a wide and privileged view of the West Indies.

Captain John White & First Mate & Stewardess Maxine
White- |
| Captain John White takes great pleasure on
behalf of his crew to welcome you aboard ‘Lone Star’.
Hailing from Perth, Western Australia, ‘Whitey’
first got into sailing crossing the South Pacific. Upon arriving
in the San Francisco Bay Area he spent 10 years improving his
sailing skills with extensive racing on San Francisco Bay and
along the California coast and Mexico. ‘Whitey’
is an explorer and traveler by nature and will thrill you with
tales of his many travels including his trips across the Australian
outback on motorcycles, a 63-day canoe trip down the Amazon
or the stories of his many years exploring Central and South
America and the Caribbean by land and sea. It was during these
travels that he has gained proficiency in Spanish and Portuguese.
Whitey is a qualified electrical/electronics contractor, holds
a RYA Yachtmaster Offshore and has been a PADI Dive Instructor
for 15 years. Whitey’s open and confident personality
sets any person at ease as he shares his intimate knowledge
of the islands and sea with you. |
Originally from the land-locked state of Utah, Maxine had
never been sailing until she met Whitey in San Francisco. She
quickly took to sailing and it was not long before she quit
her job in the San Francisco Financial District and was sailing
with Whitey under the Golden Gate Bridge. She, along with Whitey,
have completed over 45,000 blue water miles. In 1992 Whitey
and Max married on Cane Garden Bay, Tortola. During their many
years of chartering they have hosted over 2000 guests. They
spent two years chartering in Panama and the San Blas Islands
which included 18 transits of the Panama Canal. As First Mate
and Dive Master on ‘Lone Star’ you may find Max
taking guests on a scuba dive or snorkel, helping with the sailing,
assisting the chef and making sure the needs and desires of
the guests are fulfilled. |

and cooking from a young age. She has applied that passion to
a successful career as chef, maitre’d and manager of many
notable restaurants and wineries in the Napa Valley region.
In the early ‘90s, Julia spent two years as the in-house
Chef for Sequoia Grove Vineyards. It was here, while working

knowledge of wines. In 1998, Julia was honored to be invited
