Accommodation

EVENSTAR is a 2025 55’ Lagoon sailing catamaran inspired by the evening star, where golden-hour sailing, peaceful anchorages, and glowing Caribbean nights set the tone. Sun-filled interiors create an airy, serene feel, while the salon offers an inviting space for lounging and easy dining. Outdoors, the top-deck lounge is made for sunset toasts, and the villa-style aft lounge quickly becomes a favorite gathering spot once the anchor drops.
Accommodating up to 8 guests in 4 expansive queen cabins, each with a private ensuite, EVENSTAR offers a relaxed balance of comfort, style, and connection. Custom A/C adds to the ease throughout the charter, creating a yacht that feels social when guests want it and quiet when they don’t. Crew accommodations are in 1 cabin with 2 singles.
