141' Van Mill Tri-Deck Motor Yacht - STARSHIP


STARSHIP is a 141' Van Mill Tri-Deck motor yacht combining proven Northern European construction, exceptional onboard volume, shallow-draft Bahamas capability, and an extensive recent refit program that dramatically separates her from comparable yachts in this category.
