StellarPM is setting new standards in the world of long-range yacht charter with the introduction of the ST88 — the newest model in its StellarONE Series of raised pilothouse motor yachts. Crafted from a robust combination of steel and aluminum, the 88-foot (26.8m) ST88 is built to deliver exceptional durability, luxury, and range for global cruising. Designed for serious explorers, this oceangoing yacht features a 2,800-nautical-mile range and a top speed of 14 knots, making it an ideal option for extended yacht charter expeditions.
Equipped with twin Caterpillar C18 ACERT 615hp engines that meet IMO Tier III emissions standards, the ST88 is engineered for either owner-operator convenience or full-crew operation. StellarPM emphasizes reliability, serviceability, and world-class support, ensuring the vessel is ready for any yacht charter mission — from island hopping to transoceanic crossings.
“Reliability, customization, and elegant utility are the hallmarks of the ST88,” says StellarPM founder Chris Holmes. “It’s perfect for both seasoned yacht owners and those new to yacht charter who want a vessel that can go the distance in style and safety.”
The yacht is Lloyd’s Register +100A1 SSC-certified, with optional full class compliance. Built at StellarPM’s Hai Phong facility in Vietnam, with interiors crafted at the Zhuhai, China site, the ST88 benefits from international collaboration, including naval architecture by Ginton Naval Architects (Netherlands) and interiors by Unzile Acar Interiors.
For clients seeking higher speed, a semi-displacement version is available. This model features an extended hull and twin 1,800hp Caterpillar C32 engines, delivering speeds up to 22 knots with a 2,200-nautical-mile range — perfect for faster-paced yacht charter itineraries.
The standard layout accommodates up to 8 guests in four luxurious staterooms, plus space for up to 4 crew. A full-beam master stateroom on deck, combined with generous guest and crew accommodations, makes this an excellent platform for high-end yacht charter experiences.
