AQUA–STAR EXPLORER 65’
Aqua‐Star, Ocean Yard, Bulwer Avenue, St. Sampsons, Guernsey, Channel Islands, GY2 4LE
The design feature of the hull is a keel below the propeller so when exploring new cruiser
grounds one has a built in safety feature. The keel also helps on directional stability, the
transom detail has been designed to give considerable fuel saving over other hulls on the
market and is a reason for many professionals successfully choosing the Aqua-Star hull
form. The attention to detail sets the Aqua-Star 65’ above the rest starting from the scale
model which was first produced to evaluate and test the outstanding concept, then we set
our attention to all aspects of the design and construction. An insulated hull and deck, with
standard equipment including; built in passerelle and dinghy lift crane to store the dinghy
clear on the stern platform, bow thrusters, stern aft quality
built in fairlead rollers
.
Unsurpassed build quality and a seductive line with such
grace and pace
one cannot help
but feel anything less than an Aqua-Star 65’ Explorer would not fulfil one’s expectations with
the impressive aft-cabin with stern windows, skylounge saloon seating, spacious Flybridge,
a galley that is a chef’s dream and more features than this brief can portray.
30 years of experience in well built GRP craft, the Aqua-Star Guernsey boatyard with con-
tinuous dedicated management and a past background as diverse as building the UK’s larg-
est GRP trawlers with 25 ton wet fish/hold tanks in the 1970’s, to 81’ maxi yachts with 20
ton keels and 50 ton displacement which plough the oceans of the world in the 1980’s de-
veloping strong engineering knowledge. Second nature to us is dividing the craft up into
five water tight bulkheads, engine room with water tight doors, proper bilge pumping ar-
rangement and extra strong hulls. Working with interior designers like
Ken Freivokh
the
yard is capable of crafting the best tradition style interiors as the most modern. The know-
how acquired in the field above has been transferred to today’s Aqua-Stars 65’ cruisers.
The passion for the last 15 years is building
prestigious motor yachts
with
elegance
for en-
joyment and freedom. A sea going lifestyle unequalled in today’s mass produced world built
by people who understand the sea,
winning accolades
for best quality fit out and good de-
sign. Current British Nautical Awards ‘Best Motor Yacht of the Year’ builder.
The fit out is well designed and engineered with a walk in engine room so the floor of the
saloon does not have to be taken up to do engine checks. There is a small work bench with
fitted vice and place for engine spares and oils, etc., for orderly stowage, also laundry room,
with the hydraulic bow and stern thrusters option one can set the thrusters to keep the craft
alongside the quay while the owner moors up.
Years of experience has produced what is perhaps the most fully equipped, owner operable
motor yacht on the market today, expertly crafted, efficiently functional, stunningly beautiful
and operable by two people. The Aqua-Star 65’ exudes splendour unrivalled amongst her
contemporaries.
