Some use yacht holidays to be themselves for a couple of weeks.
Others may prefer to be someone else. If you fall into the latter category, the
crew of Starfire can help. These masters of disguise can liven up any
party and enable you to let loose and be the person you really want to be. You
also might want to power up her karaoke system. The 177-foot François Zuretti–designed Benetti Starfire sleeps eight in six cabins

You can love her or not, but no matter where you stand, you
have to agree that The Maltese Falcon blows the mind. With her

never forget. She sleeps 12 in four to six cabins.

Half the reason we go on vacation is to catch up on some
much-needed sleep. If catching some z’s is a serious priority, then plan your
holiday aboard Touch. All four staterooms sport Vi-Spring mattresses and
hypoallergenic linens to ensure pleasant dreams, and all three decks offer up
cushioned sunning areas for daydreaming. Once rested, you will notice
Touch’s fun, eclectic décor, on-deck Jacuzzi, plus tenders, kayaks,
fishing and snorkel gear, and loads of beach and water toys.

seduces with a modern, warm, international décor. She reinforces her sensual
first impression with touches such as a glass silhouetted display shelf
separating the dining and main salon, shoji screens shading the windows in the
corridors, not to mention the flowing sheer curtains in the master suite that
separate guests from the totally private adjoining sun deck. Ellix Too
sleeps 12 in six cabins.
