Our latest blog post: Yachts Then And Now ift.tt/1tPgGYT When you step onto a Star Fleet yacht, you’re stepping onto a type of vessel that has a deep rooted history. The luxurious Star Fleet yachts you see today cruising the glistening waters of Clear Lake and Galveston Bay are very different from their predecessor. Yes, it’s true! Yachts have not always been a recreational vessel of luxury available to all. The word yacht originates from the Dutch word “Jacht,” which means to “hunt.” And that’s exactly what yachts were originally for. A boat known to be both light and fast, the original yachts were used as a type of Dutch Navy vessel to hunt and pursue pirates, directing them into shallow waters. In fact, it wasn’t until the mid-1600’s when Charles II of England chose a yacht to transport him from Britain to Holland that yachts became a vessel used to transport important people. Over the next few hundred years, however, yachts would become a symbol of luxury used by Kings, Queens, Presidents, and many others for both transportation and recreation. Today, there are two different classes of yachts, sailing and power boats. At Star Fleet yachts, we have both sailing and power boats. Our Star Fleet Star Cat, the most fundamental of our fleet, can sail up to 12 people and, with it’s spacious trampoline and easy-to-use gas grill, the Star Cat is perfect for birthday parties, casual corporate events, or even family picnics. Meanwhile, our Star Fleet Star Gazer, the most luxurious of our fleet, is a 100’ multi-level modern entertainment yacht that can hold up to 150 guests and features a bandstand, dance floor, and state-of-the-art electronic entertainment system with wide screen plasma TVs! In today’s day and age, you don’t have to be a President to enjoy the luxury of a yacht. At Star Fleet yachts, you and your family and friends can experience yachting first hand. With Kemah dinner cruises, special themed nights, yacht wedding packages and much, much more, we at Star Fleet yachts do it all and invite you to do it all, too!
