Yacht of the Week: Rox Star

The epitome of sailing cool, this is the boat that rocked

Rox Star is here to shake up the superyacht industry. Launched in 2015, bedecked in black and dark wood, and flying five vast, elegant black sails, this edgy vessel truly lives up to its bombastic name. In short, it rocks.

Rock n’ roll flourishes feature throughout the furniture, fittings and artwork of Rox Star. And, with a fully battened main and mizzen ketch rig, 600m2 of black sails not only offer high-performance sailing – even in light wind conditions, but also ramp up the visual cool factor.

Inside, the full-beam main salon features a bar area, where cocktails and parties are bound to rage, before you and your guests settle down for a meal in the dining area. With the ability to accommodate up to 10 visitors – over five luxury cabins – this is the ultimate yacht for entertaining.

And, despite these generous cabins featuring queen-sized beds, en-suite Italian designer bathrooms (replete with marble showers) and the odd scenic skylight roof, most of your guests will likely spend their time outside, enjoying the wide range of tenders and toys that come with Rox Star.

From stand-up Yamaha jet skis, single and double kayaks and a F5S Seabob, to stand-up paddle boards, waterskis, wakeboard and snorkelling equipment, there is plenty to keep you and your guests occupied. And, if it all gets too much, you can retire to the personal steam room in your king size master suite.

But it’s not all rock n’ roll – the superyacht also boasts such sensible features as a one-metre extending swim deck, two powerful and economical back up engines, and the best in stabilisation design to ensure smooth sailing – because even the most untamed of us don’t want to rock the boat all the time.

Contact Edmiston for more information. Rox Star can be chartered from €75,000 per week.
