About Morning Star

The Paradise 60 Morning Star is the ultimate voyaging yacht designed for a couple to safely sail anywhere in the world on long offshore passages while spending extended periods of time at anchor in no-compromise comfort. At the time of her launch in May of 2015 she was appraised at over three million Euros! You can now own Morning Star for about half what it cost to build her! She is an incredible custom aluminum ocean sailing yacht is the inspiration of Carl and Sandra Soares. After years of defining their requirements and working through design concepts the final vessel was ultimately drawn by Peter Bosgraaf of Bosgraaf Yacht Designs in the Nederland’s. She was built by the famous Dutch builder of aluminum vessels, Jachtbouw Folmer, who has earned a good reputation for building the highest quality of custom aluminium yachts. Morning Star is a one of a kind blue water voyager that is an incredibly capable ocean going sailing machine of the highest order.


Bosgraaf, the designer, is well known for his ability to listen to his clients. One of his recognized designs is a beautiful 53 ft racer cruiser which is now chartering with ten guests aboard between Norway, England and the Netherlands. Peter Bosgraaf was selected among many possible designers because the firm takes great pride helping the client achieve their special vision and meet all their requirements. It was a perfect choice and the result is a stunning vessel of style and substance that is executed at the highest level of quality. The builder of the yacht was equally important. Dutch yacht builders are well known for the production of the highest quality in aluminum vessels that money can buy. Jachtbouw Folmer was chosen based on their meticulous attention to detail and their track record in delivering yachts of the highest quality.

The result is Morning Star and one look at her will tell you that she is a stunning yacht that has met and exceeded all her owners requirements. Morning Star is an aluminum yacht with water-tight bulkheads to create four completely watertight compartments. Every aspect of the design, engineering, systems and interior features is focused on making this yacht the ultimate offshore cruising yacht for two people to handle safely and to accommodate up the six adults on a passage.

The Paradise 60 “Morning Star” is now offered for sale. She has arrived in Annapolis MD after an ocean crossing from the Nederland’s. Morning Star is the ultimate sailing yacht for a couple to sail anywhere in the world.
