Polar Star in Papagayo, Costa Rica

Pictured here in Papagayo in Costa Rica recently is the 63-metre superyacht Polar Star. Launched as Northern Star in 2005 from Lürssen, she underwent a cosmetic change last year where her iconic blue and white exterior finish was transformed to a light-grey exterior with brown accents. She was designed as a gentleman’s world-cruiser by Espen Oeino, and features interior styling by Pauline Nunns and Serena Williams-Ellis. The original owner of the yacht sold her in 2007 ahead of the delivery of his second yacht.
