Orient Star is a 47 m motor yacht built by CMB Yachts in 2012, for 10 guests in 5 cabins with 10 crew. Charter from €190,000 per week in summer (Greece, Mykonos and Santorini); in winter from €180,000 (Turkey, Greece and Mykonos), plus expenses.
A 2012 CMB with a composite hull, a Ken Freivokh profile and an award-winning interior by Tara Bernerd that feels like a city penthouse, crewed one to one for ten guests in Greece and Turkey.
Built in Turkey, Orient Star is furnished more like a town apartment than a boat. CMB Yachts laid up her full-displacement hull and superstructure in GRP in 2012, Ken Freivokh drew the exterior, and the interior went to Tara Bernerd. A year after launch, that work earned her first place among motor yachts above 30 metres at the 2013 International Yacht & Aviation Awards.
Inside, the look is masculine, tailored and calm: think of a penthouse with a sea view rather than a floating villa. The main deck has a lounge with its own bar and a separate dining area, and the full-beam master suite at the front of that deck has large windows that frame the anchorage. Two VIPs and two twins below complete the cabins for ten.
Two details stand out. The sky lounge opens onto small balconies, so you can step out mid-conversation without walking aft. And on the bridge deck there is a study with a library, a real place to read or take a call away from the others. Outside, the bridge deck aft is the breakfast table, shaded when needed, and the sun deck adds a sunpad, a bar and the Jacuzzi.
She carries ten crew for ten guests, and that ratio shows in the service. The toys include an e-foil, three Seabobs, jet skis and diving gear, and a Williams jet tender for shore runs. Her cruising speed of about 10 knots is an economical pace that fits the short hops between Greek islands and along the Turkish coast.
She will please couples and families who notice design and like a quieter, more urban mood on board. If your party is twelve, or wants to race from island to island at speed, there are better choices.
