About

About Wind Star

Sailing Yacht

Wind Star is the yacht that started it all. Commissioned in 1984, this 148-guest sailing icon helped pioneer a new kind of cruising — one with real working sails, that felt more like a private yacht than a regular cruise.

Four decades later, Wind Star still delivers that same elegant yet laid-back atmosphere — now with upgraded amenities and a stunning redesign under our Setting Sails initiative.

This intimate sailing yacht features wide-open teak decks, staterooms with ocean views, an Owner’s Suite, the World Spa by Windstar, a pool with a bar, a hot tub, a water-access marina and much more.

Wind Star also offers multiple dining options — all open seating and complimentary — including our main restaurant Amphora, the full-surface breakfast and lunch buffet Veranda, and our specialty restaurant Candles.
