Admiral Custom

The Admiral Marine STAR DIAMOND blends luxury, comfort and versatility in a way that only a few yachts can achieve. Measuring 154 feet, this 1998 Tri-Deck yacht has been meticulously refitted in 2024, ensuring she 9s in top-tier condition, ready for world cruising at speeds up to 18 knots. She boasts a semi-displacement hull, complemented by Quantum Zero Speed stabilizers for smooth sailing. With her US-built heritage to RINA Class specifications, STAR DIAMOND stands as an icon of American craftsmanship in the luxury yacht market. She has exceptional volume for her size, maximizing space for her owners and guests. With the right ownership and charter management, STAR DIAMOND was previously a proven charter powerhouse, capable of covering her annual running costs. No other yacht in her class or price range offers greater value.

Once aboard, you 9re welcomed into an interior designed by Donald Starkey, evoking the cool charm of a beach house with expansive windows bathing every room in natural light. The main salon, with updated ceiling panels in 2024, offers an intimate setting for relaxation or entertainment, with Bubinga wood paneling creating a warm atmosphere. A standout feature is the versatile layout, with the option to transform the salon into a gym, game room, or even a spa. Continuing into the dining area, you 9ll find two circular tables, each welcoming six, which can be converted into a grand oval table seating twelve, perfect for hosting more formal dinners with spectacular water views. The galley, updated in 2024, is a chef 9s dream, equipped with top-of-the-line commercial appliances and ample pantry space. A fully equipped serving pantry is positioned aft of the galley, offering easy access to the dining room for seamless service.

Up on the bridge deck, the well-appointed captain's cabin, complete with a Jacuzzi tub, ensures total comfort while the ship's office provides all the necessary equipment for seamless operations. The central staircase leads to the sundeck above or the main deck below, arriving at a foyer area. Further aft on the bridge deck level is the skylounge, where you 9ll want to spend a lot of your time. The space is flooded with light, featuring a honey onyx wet bar, cozy seating arrangements and an 80" theater screen with an advanced entertainment system. This area flows naturally out onto the upper dining deck, offering a shaded space for alfresco meals for 12 and an aft seating area, all climate-controlled for ultimate comfort.

STAR DIAMOND accommodates up to 10 guests in five stylish cabins. The full-beam master stateroom boasts a custom king-size bed facing forward toward an entertainment center. A semi-bulkhead with a sliding door separates the owner's sitting lounge from the sleeping area. The lounge is furnished with easy chairs, a cozy two-person settee, bookshelves, an entertainment center and a desk. The his-and-hers master bath spans the width of the stateroom with a central shower and a Jacuzzi tub in the center. There are four versatile guest staterooms for plenty of accommodation flexibility. The twin-berth cabin with an en-suite marble bathroom can be converted into a king bed for added flexibility. There is a queen-berth cabin with an en-suite and a guest stateroom configured with two twin beds that, when stored, allow the stateroom to transform into a sitting room or the suite side of a full-beam guest suite when combined with the aft starboard queen stateroom. This port-side "suite" includes a marble bathroom with a bathtub and shower, and the twin beds can be converted into a king bed. The fifth stateroom is permanently set up as a queen-berth room, with partitions that can open to create a full-beam suite in combination with the port-side stateroom. This layout offers excellent flexibility for all kinds of guests. STAR DIAMOND comfortably welcomes 10 crew members across six cabins, including four double cabins, a captain's cabin and an engineer's cabin.

STAR DIAMOND 9s exterior, designed by Lou Codega, is as captivating as her interior. She boasts the best sundeck of any yacht in this size category, outshining even many yachts up to 185 feet. Access to the interior is provided by a circular staircase covered by a round hatch. This convenient interior access from the sundeck, typically found only on much larger yachts, allows seamless movement between all decks.

The sundeck is expansive, with twin U-shaped bars, a Jacuzzi, ample lounging space and even a barbeque area surrounded by stylish circular settees surrounding teak cocktail tables. This is where you 9ll spend lazy afternoons, shaded under triangular sunshades, or take in the 360-degree views from the forward seating area.

The aft deck is equally impressive, with space to store a 19' AB tender and four wave runners, ready for endless water sports adventures. The Portuguese deck offers a cozy seating area just below the bridge windows, providing an excellent view and a private space to relax, read, or enjoy a quiet moment to yourself. The swim platform is fixed and features a stunning teak deck and a hydraulic opening transom door. This inviting space is ideal for leisurely afternoons spent sunbathing and swimming, just a few steps away from the main aft deck above. STAR DIAMOND is equipped with a range of toys and tenders designed for fun and adventure on the water. The collection includes a 19-foot (5.8m) AB Tender powered by a Yamaha 150hp outboard, four Waverunners for high-speed excitement, and a 40-foot water slide for thrilling descents into the sea. Guests can also enjoy a variety of water toys and make use of the convenient swim ladder for easy access in and out of the water, ensuring endless enjoyment during their stay.
