2010 Destination Yachts Starchaser P Trip #13 (8/28-9/3)

The Starchaser P is a 69-foot aluminum houseboat built by Destination Yachts, designed to sleep up to 20 adults with comfortable accommodations spread across multiple private suites and additional sleeping areas. The boat features a master suite with a queen bed and private bathroom, five additional private suites with queen and full-size beds, and a queen sofa-sleeper in the front salon. Climate control throughout includes central air conditioning and heating, while the galley is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances—a full-size range and oven, two 25-cubic-foot refrigerator-freezer units, dishwasher, microwave, and a complete setup for service to 12 people. Two full bathrooms serve the interior, supported by a 200-gallon holding tank and UV fresh water processing system for extended cruising.

The upper deck is a standout feature, with an open flybridge design topped by a 24-foot hardtop with integrated lighting and full helm controls. This entertaining area includes a wet bar with sink and refrigerator, multiple seating areas, and four speakers for outdoor audio. A rear deck slippery slide, two PWC ramps with winches, front deck BBQ grill, and full extended swim platform with ladder provide ample recreation options. Below deck, custom maple cabinetry, solid surface countertops, and Trex decking throughout the cabin create a refined interior finish. The boat carries a full array of navigation and entertainment technology, including GPS and depth finder at the helm, ship-to-shore radio, and an interior entertainment center with a 40-inch LCD television and surround sound system.

Power comes from twin 115 HP fuel-injected Honda engines paired with a 12.5 KW Westerbeke generator. Fuel capacity totals 300 gallons in the main tanks plus 150 gallons auxiliary capacity for water toys. The electrical system includes a 2,800-watt inverter and dual solar panel charging to support extended operation. The boat sleeps 10 inside with deluxe accommodations and carries comprehensive safety equipment, anchoring gear, and generous storage throughout.
