For a truly warm Italian welcome, step on board exceptional SEVEN STARS. A great option for a fabulous getaway in the Western Mediterranean, this is a yacht that exudes style and character.
Custom designed, she was built and launched by Antago Yachts in 2004 at their shipyard in Viareggio. At 25.40m SEVEN STARS features a sleek flybridge layout with modern styling. Powered by 2 x MTU engines at 2,000hp each, her cruising speed is 24 knots with an impressive maximum speed of 32 knots, making island hopping a breeze. She underwent a comprehensive refit in 2018 and is maintained in sparkling condition by her dedicated crew.
Exuding a light and contemporary atmosphere throughout, the yacht lends itself to a feeling of space and tranquillity. The main saloon offers a comfortable lounge and dining area, with large windows that provide superb views out to sea. White oak for the floor and wall panels creates a beach house ambience while the use of bamboo, Chinese wallpaper and deco pieces from the Far East bring chic colonial accents to the fore. Equipped with impressive leisure and entertainment facilities, SEVEN STARS is perfect for socialising and entertaining with family and friends. Spacious accommodation is provided for up to 8 guests in 4 staterooms, all en suite, including a lovely full-beam master suite, VIP stateroom and two identical twins.
Deck areas deliver a number of spots for leisurely entertainment and relaxation, with the forward sunbathing pads on the bow being a particular favourite to relish the sunshine. The flybridge is an excellent space, featuring comfortable sofa seating, dining table, BBQ and sound system, together with an additional sunbathing zone. At water level her bathing platform offers easy access, while her extensive selection of water toys provide endless hours of fun. Activity seekers can enjoy thrills on the towables behind the tender, or for a calmer adventure, try out some gentle paddleboarding and kayaking. (Note – the yacht can provide either tender or waverunner depending on guests’ preference for their charter, due to space limitations on board).
Cruising along the Italian coastline to soak up “la dolce vita” is easy on SEVEN STARS. With a Captain and crew who have superb knowledge of Southern Italy, Sicily, the Aeolian and Egadi Islands, guests can sit back and enjoy the sensational scenery in stylish luxury.
Italian native, Captain Fiorentino has cruised Sicily and the surrounding areas extensively and is well-versed in ensuring charter guests make the most of their time exploring these diverse cruising grounds. “Thanks to the mild climate, any time in the Aeolians is a delight to sail”, he enthuses, “there are countless attractions, wild and breathtaking landscapes and some wholly unique spots. I would say that Milazzo and Portorosa in Sicily are the best marinas to depart from to reach the Aeolian archipelago. Spending a night at anchor in Stromboli is a must. In front of the Sciara del Fuoco, watching the incandescent magma from the volcano light up the night sky is simply spectacular”.
Looking ahead to the summer season, Captain Fiorentino comments, “We are excited to introduce guests to an exceptional charter experience in Sicily on board SEVEN STARS. Discovering the allure and character of this varied destination is quite a journey”. He continues with enthusiasm, “The eternal meeting point between east and west culture, Sicily combines together flavours, colours and history, while exploring by yacht gives the opportunity to access further than visitors would normally experience. From gastronomic delights, wild nature and adrenaline water sports to volcano climbing and archaeological diving, this region is packed with things to do and places to see almost all year round! The crew and I can’t wait to welcome guests on board this summer!”
With balmy summer days fast approaching and the charter season hotting up, SEVEN STARS certainly presents a wonderful option to cruise Sicily and beyond. Beautiful, serene and filled with personality, this is a region that has so much to offer and is certainly best explored by yacht.
