OWNER’S COMMENTS:
The motor-powered sailing vessel ‘WHITE STAR’ was designed in 1985 by the famous yacht builder A.Oehlmann and built at the Porsius shipyard in the Netherlands. The client who ordered the boat was a Portuguese industrialist who wanted to fulfil a dream of his during the last years of his life. The predominant features of this yacht are hence the particularly solid structure and an extraordinary spaciousness and comfort. These distinguishing features were further enhanced by the new owner by means of a series of extensive works in the deck area.
The covered deck salon with dining are for 10 people, a small pantry and bar can satisfy even the most demanding requirements when it comes to yachting in the Mediterranean Sea. The newly refurbished flybridge is a beautiful open-air living room for marvellous afternoons under the sun.
The yacht’s interior comprises the following areas: wheelhouse with navigation console and helmstation as well as a salon/dining room for 10 people, spacious owner’s cabin with shower and WC, two guestrooms, each with double bed, shower and WC.
