LONESTAR

Over 230 square metres of deck space on a 25-metre sailing catamaran. LONESTAR was designed by VPLP (Van Peteghem-Lauriot Prevost) in 1991 and refitted in 2020, purpose-built for the kind of open-air living that the Seychelles demands. She charters year-round from the inner islands on an all-inclusive basis.

Six en-suite cabins (four doubles, two twins) sleep twelve guests, with berths for up to four additional children. The interior salon has a dining area, lounge, and bar, all air-conditioned for the days when the breeze drops. A crew of five includes a dedicated chef handling all meals and drinks as part of the rate.

On deck, the space is real. Everyone spreads out across foredeck sunbathing, cockpit dining, and shaded lounging under the bimini. Toys include four single kayaks, two SUPs, wakeboard, water skis, tow tube, snorkel and fishing gear. A BBQ rounds out sunset evenings at anchor.

She sails at 10 knots cruising, up to 15 when the wind fills in, covering Mahé, Praslin, La Digue, and the outer atolls within a standard week. Twelve guests sailing all-inclusive through the Seychelles, chef included, on a yacht with more outdoor space than most 40-metre motor yachts.
