"BigFish" has a big sister the 164ft "StarFish"

Aquos Yachts and McMullen & Wing have teamed up again for the new construction of StarFish the big sister of their previous Mega Yacht BigFish. Aquos Yachts have just released the first renderings of the new yacht that is due for launch next year. StarFish will be 16ft bigger than BigFish at 164ft Vs 148ft respectively.

She will be similar to BigFish in looks and design and will have a lot of the features that have made BigFish stand out as such a popular yacht. These features include multiple balconies, fold down extension and large windows create an open feeling and let in natural light. Their is plenty of outdoor space on this yacht for owners and guests to enjoy alfresco dining, or relax in the pool on the aft deck. She will be able to accommodate 12 guests in 6 cabins, with the owners cabin froward on the upper deck with with wrap around windows forward that give spectacular views. She will have a range of 9200nm at a speed of 8kts. Hopefully the owner of this new yacht will follow in the footsteps of BigFish and use the yacht to its exploration capabilities.

Below is a short video showing the external and internal design. Hope you all enjoy it.
