STARFIRE, crafted in Italy by the Benetti boatyard in 1997, carries a legacy of excellence. Originally owned by Ambrosia Young, who was actively involved during the shipyard's construction phase, STARFIRE set a new standard for quality and timeless elegance in yacht building in 1997. Mr. Young spared no expense in her creation, focusing on artful deco interiors, enduring exteriors, and a meticulously designed engine room for easy access to equipment. Spanning 177 feet (54 meters) in length, with a beam of 31.5 feet (9.6 meters), and a draft of 11 feet (3.3 meters), STARFIRE weighs 747 tons and boasts a fuel capacity of 37,000 gallons (140,000 liters) of diesel fuel. Her steel hull and aluminum superstructure enable graceful cruising at 12 knots, with a top speed of 15 knots. At cruise speed, she burns an efficient 76 gallons per hour (360 liters). STARFIRE has undergone significant refits, with the most recent in 2022, aligning her with the Owner's preferences while maintaining impeccable standards of craftsmanship and attention to detail. With a proven track record spanning the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, as well as the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Baltic, and Red Seas, STARFIRE has earned a sterling reputation among brokers and guests alike. Notably, she has never missed a charter or owner trip. STARFIRE's spacious layout features beautiful interior woods and multiple decks, providing ample space for both group gatherings and quiet relaxation. Furthermore, STARFIRE boasts an exceptional crew with long-standing tenure, emphasizing the importance of a harmonious onboard atmosphere. The original owner foresaw the challenges of working and living together, leading to the creation of a full-beam Crew Mess divided into two parts: a crew lounge and dining area. Additionally, space was designated for six individual desks for department heads, offering both communal and private areas for crew members to collaborate and focus. In summary, STARFIRE not only excels in design and performance but also in providing a comfortable and efficient onboard experience, making her a truly exceptional vessel in the world of yachting. ACCOMMODATIONS Sleeps up to 14 in the Owner's party in 6 staterooms plus crew accommodations for up to 14 in 7 cabins. WALKTHROUGH SUN DECKThe vessel features a raised semi-circular seating area with a table at the forward section. Amidships, there's a large stack housing a sauna, dayhead, separate shower, and a glass-enclosed massage room. Aft of this area, there are storage lockers and firefighting lockers on both port and starboard sides. A covered exterior marble dining table for eight guests is situated aft of the massage room, accompanied by a full bar and three bar stools to starboard. Amidships, there's a large Jacuzzi dip-pool with stairs leading down to the boat deck on the port side. A spacious, full-beam movable settee is positioned aft, accompanied by a pop-up 42" TV for watching movies under the stars. Additionally, there are two three-seater couches and two comfortable chairs. Remarkably, the furniture can be rearranged to convert the area into a large helicopter landing pad with fixing points and removable railings at the aft section. The helicopter tiedowns are currently repurposed as poles for the three-section sun awning. UPPER DECK Forward of the wheelhouse is a second exterior semi-circular seating area with a table, providing a quiet retreat away from the group. Ahead of this seating area is a walkway leading to the foredeck, where two anchor windlasses and a hatch to the anchor locker are located, storing extra fenders and lines. The foredeck also houses a 3,000lbs SWL rescue crane on the port side, two sets of wave runner chocks, and space in the center for a 15ft tender. A bosun's store is situated in the forward part of the superstructure, along with air-handling units and crew escape hatches. Moving aft, the wheelhouse features port and starboard bridge wings control stations, with stairs on either side leading down to the main deck. Inside the wheelhouse, there are two leather sofas and a helmsman's position, along with two desks (port & starboard) and a spacious chart table amidships, serving as ample workstations and the ship's office for the Chief officer and Chief Stewardess. Having dedicated workspaces for the crew sets STARFIRE apart from other yachts in her size range and contributes to crew longevity. The Captain's cabin, located to starboard, offers comfort for two crew members, featuring a desk adjacent to the Chief Officer's desk, a queen-size bed with dual monitors displaying navigational equipment and CCTV cameras, and amenities similar to the guest cabins. On the port side behind the bridge is the upper pantry, equipped with two refrigerators, a coffee machine, sink, and dishwasher, with an internal crew stairwell leading to the lower pantry. A door aft of the upper pantry leads to the upper foyer, providing access to the VIP Cabin, top deck, main deck foyer, or upper salon.

Its ensuite bathroom features a bathtub and a beautiful stainless steel shell sink. Adjacent to the VIP cabin, the upper foyer leads to a vast upper deck salon spanning the yacht's full width, featuring a fireplace, spacious seating, and a fully equipped wet bar. Glass sliding doors open to a fully enclosed formal upper dining area with a large table for 10 guests, allowing plenty of natural daylight and offering an option for al-fresco dining. The upper aft deck is equipped with a davit for storing toys during extensive sea passages and in normal guest operations offers a spacious dining area with a teak table and chairs, accommodating up to twelve. Moreover, a discreetly concealed slide box with a comfortable cushion atop it is present, along with two teak chairs tucked into a cozy nook by the flagpole and storage lockers around the perimeter of the deck.

Her side of the bathroom includes a sink, enclosed lavatory with a bidet, and an escape door to the bosun's locker, while his side features a sink and enclosed lavatory. The ensuite is tastefully designed with honey onyx, gold sinks, and fixtures. From the main foyer, there is access to the lower pantry and a stairwell leading to the crew mess.

Three large fridges and one smaller deep produce fridge provide ample storage, and a large window and desk enhance the workspace for the culinary team. Moving aft from the main deck guest entrance lobby, you'll find the formal dining room, adorned with a marble circular table for 12 guests and a pre-Lalique chandelier. Surrounding the room are cabinets made of cherry and Lacewood for storage and marble countertops for service. The formal dining room connects, via beautifully-etched pocket glass doors, to the main salon, featuring a full wet bar aft to port. Seating includes two three-person couches forward and aft, two chairs starboard, and two comfortable chairs with ottomans on the port side. A 50-inch pop-up TV is located on the starboard side. The overheads are a stacked beige pattern, and the floors are a stained wood with an Asian rug. A marble stairway to starboard leads down to the guest cabins, while sliding glass doors open from white marble to a covered teak aft deck with seating for up to 14 guests at the dining table, which can be converted into a low coffee table. Aft of the sliding doors, countertops and storage lockers are situated on both port and starboard sides. The walkaround decks provide access to cleaning and fire lockers. Fueling can be done from the main deck at three locations: port, starboard, or aft. An open staircase to port leads down to the swimming platform/lazarette with a stern folding door, and a stairwell leads to the bridge deck aft. LOWER DECK The swim deck boasts a large hydraulic stern door that folds down effortlessly and turns into a swim platform. Ample storage can be found in the aft cupboards, along with a convenient day head and shower. On the starboard side of the platform, an open shower provides the perfect spot for rinsing off salt before heading indoors. This deck offers plenty of space for sunbathing or facilitating the loading and unloading of guests from the Tender. Descending from the main deck salon down the guest stairs reveals a spacious foyer. Equipped with a small fridge and countertop, this area is ideal for serving coffee and morning bites. The two aft cabins on this level are identical, each featuring queen beds, a day couch, and a desk. Marble showers and sinks add a touch of luxury to the bathrooms, while ample closet and drawer space ensure convenience. The forward two cabins are furnished with twin beds and one fold-down pullman in each room. These cabins also feature small desks and bathrooms with marble showers and sinks. Large portlights offer stunning ocean views, and 30-inch TVs provide entertainment in all four rooms. Taking the stairway from the main pantry leads to the crew mess and lounge, a remarkable space for a 54m yacht. The crew enjoys a spacious dining area accommodating up to 14 crew members, complete with its own microwave, stove, oven, and dishwasher. Additionally, there's a comfortable sitting area on the port side where seven crew members can relax on the couch and watch TV. The two spaces are separated by cabinetry and storage, with large portlights and CCTV monitors enhancing functionality. This setup contributes to STARFIRE's excellent crew longevity, providing ample space for the crew to spread out and unwind. All crew accommodation is situated forward, featuring five double bunk bed cabins and a chief engineer's cabin with twin beds and a pullman bunk. The Chief's cabin is equipped with a large desk and workspace.
