Of course, the cabins on the Starship are actually five-room suites. And if the onboard Jacuzzi doesn't keep you occupied, you can always take the helicopter out for a night out on the town. Despite the lead crystal sculpture, panoramic glass, and a one-ton helicopter onboard, the Starship is among the lightest ships in its class, allowing it to navigate waters that other yachts can only dream about. Draft, the depth a ship extends below the waterline, is what determines just how shallow an inlet a ship can navigate without running aground. The Starship's ability to ply waters just six feet deep comes from its lightweight cast aluminum hull and a low-profile drive system that features no drive shaft and no propeller.
Propulsion comes by super-accelerating seawater through a pair of jet nozzles mounted in the stern.
With the touch of a button, the thrusters can be rotated from front to back, giving the ship extraordinary maneuverability. For speed, you could call it a Ferrari. The Starship will do twenty knots an hour, which is almost warp speed for a 144-foot pleasure boat. With a belly full of diesel, the boat can cruise for three thousand miles without refueling. The system can ensure smooth sailing by directly downlinking the latest weather data via satellite.
