Nordic Star Our flagship Nordic Star will continue her double life in 2020, operating as a training vessel for students in OCC’s Professional Mariner Program as well as a private charter yacht on Newport Harbor and at Catalina Island. This Spring and Fall, Nordic Star will be used by OCC students who are interested in careers in the maritime industry. The 92-foot aluminum vessel is an ideal “platform” for gaining hands-on experience desired by maritime industry employers. On board subjects include deck operations, fire-fighting, crew overboard recovery and abandon ship procedures. Command/bridge topics include bridge management, piloting, navigation, Radar, navigation plotters, radios, and GPS. Engine room subjects include engine monitoring and control, fuel and water management, engine room safety, electrical distribution, pumps, motors, and bilge systems. On weekends and evenings, Nordic Star is available to individuals and groups for private charter. A US Coast Guard inspected vessel, Nordic Star can carry up to 50 guests in the harbor and in local offshore waters. She is an ideal yacht for meetings and celebrations while cruising Newport Harbor or down the coast to Laguna. With her luxurious cabins, she is exceptional for overnight cruises to Catalina Island or beyond. Charterers have great flexibility to design their own voyages, choosing dates, locations, level of service, and activities. Nordic Star’s crew normally includes a captain, 1st mate, steward or stewardess, and a cook. Quite often, students from OCC’s professional mariner program are integrated into the crew. Donated to the OCC Foundation in 2010 by the Jerrell Barto family of Newport Beach, Nordic Star’s maintenance and operation is supported solely by charter income, in-kind gifts, and grants. For the past five years, most of Nordic Star’s capital improvements have been provided by the Harriet E. Pfleger Foundation.
