The Dark Star Pirate Cruise is our newest addition to The Starlight Fleet Deep Sea Fishing & Dolphin-Whale Watching Center. It joins the Starlight, one of the most prominent names associated with fishing on the East Coast, and the 100 ft Atlantic Star, which does our dolphin-whale watching tours as well as hosts our premiere Sunset Dinner Cruise. The Starlight Fleet was founded by Captain James Cicchitti and has over 34 years of experience providing top quality trips. The Starlight Fleet is a family owned and operated business; Captain Jim and his wife, Tracie, are joined by sons, Nicholas, Andrew, and J.W., in the daily operation of The Starlight Fleet.


The Dark Star was custom designed by Naval Architect, Michael LeMole of LeMole Naval Architecture. The fiberglass hull was built in Steuben, Maine by H & H Marine Inc. in conjunction with and under the guidance of Steve Hudson of Oak Hill Marine Design LLC.


The hull was finished during the last week of February 2010 and transported to Yanks Marine in Tuckahoe, NJ for completion. Our sons, Andrew and J.W., worked side by side with Yank's boat builders everyday to finish the Dark Star. The Dark Star was built to U.S. Coast Guard requirements and from start to finish, the total time for completion of the Dark Star was 5 ½ months.

The vessel is Coast Guard inspected and is certified to carry 49 passengers. It is equipped with state of the art electronics and the latest life saving equipment. Our captains are all U.S. Coast Guard licensed, and all of our captains/crew are subject to random drug-testing as mandated by the U.S. Coast Guard.
