Bahama Star is not a speculative project or a dockside fantasy. She is a documented, revenue-producing expedition and charter vessel with a long, successful operating history in the Bahamas and U.S. coastal waters. Purpose-built, sensibly equipped, and field-tested, she offers a rare opportunity for a buyer seeking a turnkey foundation for continued charter operations or a serious long-range liveaboard with commercial pedigree.

Formerly a SOLAS / USCG COI-inspected vessel (certification not current, but can absolutely be brought back into class - she has been classed in three separate USCG Sectors), Bahama Star spent years operating professionally on the Chesapeake Bay, Florida, and extensively throughout the Bahamas. Her most recent service focused on multi-day Bahamas itineraries, running from Nassau through the Exumas, Berry Islands, Andros, and Eleuthera. These routes emphasized family-friendly adventure charters, school and youth groups, snorkeling expeditions, and exploration-based cruising—a niche market with consistent demand and repeat clientele.

She was designed and operated as a true expedition workboat, prioritizing safety, simplicity, reliability, and passenger utility. That focus allowed her to operate continuously and profitably, earning a strong reputation that culminated in a feature article in Vero Beach Magazine (September 2024)—a rare distinction for a vessel in this class.
