Yacht Description
Explorer DNA, updated. ASTERIA is a 161ft motor yacht built in 1970 and refit in 2024, set up for proper long-range adventures without giving up the comforts.
Deck life wins. There is an on-deck Jacuzzi for post-swim decompression, plus stabilizers (including zero-speed) to keep things calmer when you are parked up. Small luxury. Big difference.
Toys for grown-ups. Two Sea-Doo jet skis, kayaks, paddleboards, Picos Laser sailboats, towables, and a serious dive setup including Nitrox-capable compressors (with rendezvous diving noted). You will not run out of ways to burn off lunch.
12 guests, six suites. She sleeps 12 in 6 staterooms, including a full-beam owner’s stateroom, with interior and exterior design by Charles Zana. Also: a touch-and-go helipad when logistics need to behave.
