SpaceX Starship Flight 11
Join Star Fleet for the final launch of the Version 2 Booster and Ship on SpaceX Starship Flight 10, the last mission from Starbase expected until 2026! The current launch date date is No Earlier Than Monday October 13 at 6:15 PM CDT (23:15 UTC) for the mission, and we'll be out there to view it!
Our planned launch viewing location at the mouth of the South Bay, approximately 4 miles / 7 km from the launch site with a direct line of sight across the water, provides some of the closest and clearest views of the pad, rocket, liftoff and booster landing available to the public. Unlike the location where most other vessels anchor, this offers a closer and clearer sightline, and has calmer, less busy waters without the need to constantly jockey for position.
LATEST LAUNCH UPDATE: As of the evening of Monday September 29, both Ship and Booster have successfully static-fired and SpaceX has officially confirmed they are targeting Monday October 13 at 6:15 PM CDT for the launch of Flight 11. As such, we've set boat tickets to open tomorrow, Tuesday September 30 at noon CDT (17:00 UTC). Remaining work items for launch include issuing the final hazard notices, performing final launch preps and rolling out and stacking the vehicles at the pad. As always, keep an eye here, on our social media or our WhatsApp community for the latest updates!
We have a Whats App community that we highly recommend you join, with channels for announcements, insider launch updates, discussion, questions and more! We also use it for early tickets, special community events and more! You can also follow our Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for announcements and updates. Thanks!

If you'd like to request a refund, please call or message us at the Star Fleet number, +1 321-209-2224. Should a launch day delay/scrub be officially announced after passengers have boarded the boat or if a passenger does not show up by the published boarding time, the boat will go out as scheduled, tickets will be considered used and will no longer be refundable. Conversely, in case there is an issue with the boat or weather keeping us from departing for the launch, and it occurs as scheduled, we'll issue you a full refund.
