Luxury Motor Yacht NORTHERN STAR was designed to cruise all oceans of the world with very limited stops.

The owner, an experienced ocean and cruising sailor, required top-notch design and engineering coupled with seagoing comfort for his guests and crew. This was achieved by bringing together the huge amount of experience and knowledge possessed by Moran Yacht & Ship and the captain, Craig Franks, to supervise the entire build process.

Espen Oeino gave NORTHERN STAR a very traditional appearance, reflecting the owner's style. She is built to the highest technical standards possible and features an abundance of practical and useful features. Capacious outdoor spaces aft, forward and on the sundeck provide tremendous seating space for open air dining and lounging.

The interior, designed by Pauline Nunns, can best be described as a grand country home. This traditional styling is complemented perfectly by the exterior, designed by Espen Oeino. NORTHERN STAR's six decks offer her twelve guests an enormous amount of space for both entertainment and relaxation.

Power by 2 CAT engines, she can reach a top speed of 17 knots and has a range of 6000 nautical miles. Advanced sound and vibration features guarantee an extremely quiet ride, while her ice strengthened hull design and stabilization system provide for maximum comfort both under way and at anchor.

NORTHERN STAR is a yacht built for pleasure, but above all other considerations, it is a vessel intended to be self-sufficient during extended voyages on the high seas.
