Boarding THE VOYAGER is from the port or starboard amidship boarding gates via a Marquipt Tide Ride ladder or vertical ladder.  One can go aft through the side decks to the Aft Deck or forward to the Portuguese bridge and Foredeck.  Entrances to the cabin are by the Wheelhouse doors or Aft Deck wing doors.

The Aft Deck is fully enclosed with built in seating, a table, a bar and a centerline door to the Cockpit.  The Salon which is next forward is open to the Aft Deck with the original doors and windows removed.

THE VOYAGER is a true blue water cruiser with extensive West Coast cruising, a Panama Canal passage and cruising on the East Coast form Maine to the Caribbean. 

Built as Starfire with a length of 60’ she was extended to 68’ by a very useful Cockpit addition.  Some of her features are updated electronics, updated stainless steel Galley, four staterooms with four Heads, newer engines, generators, wiring and plumbing. 

Being a Stephens she carries both appealing lines and a great pedigree from the West Coast’s most highly regarded custom yacht builder.
