Starship Yacht | 143' Van Mill 1988

141' Van Mill Tri-Deck Motor Yacht — STARSHIP


STARSHIP is a 141’ Van Mill Tri-Deck motor yacht combining proven Northern European construction, exceptional onboard volume, shallow-draft Bahamas capability, and an extensive recent refit program that dramatically separates her from comparable yachts in this category. Originally delivered in 1988 and continuously upgraded through 2025, STARSHIP offers the rare opportunity to acquire a highly capable long-range cruising platform with modernized systems, luxurious guest accommodations, and charter-friendly versatility at a compelling value point.


Built with an aluminum semi-displacement hull and powered by twin Caterpillar 3512B engines recently rebuilt in July 2025, STARSHIP delivers dependable cruising performance, Quantum Zero Speed stabilization, KaMeWa waterjet propulsion, and a shallow 7-foot draft ideal for Bahamas cruising and island-hopping itineraries. The yacht comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests in 5 staterooms with additional accommodations for 7 crew.


Unlike many yachts in this size category and vintage range, STARSHIP has benefited from substantial owner investment focused on operational reliability, modernized systems, updated electronics, interior refinements, and mechanical upgrades. The result is a turnkey tri-deck motor yacht equally suited for private ownership, luxury cruising, or charter service.
