Not stopping at the interior, the refit added a spa pool covered by a huge bimini on the top deck, new paint, decks, and a laundry list of other subtle aesthetic improvements.
Mechanically she is in tip-top shape. In 2022, she underwent a full main engine rebuild and generator service. Along with a host of other updates and improvements. In January 2023, she was back in the shipyard having her Quantum zero-speed stabilizers serviced, a new shaft seal, and rebuilt deck cranes. The current owner is dedicated to maintaining the vessel to the highest standards and understands that for ASTERIA to travel to the ends of the earth she needs to be in top shape.
ASTERIA has had a long history of amazing voyages including The Northwest Passage, Antarctica, the South Pacific, and everywhere in between. In 2021, she won the Boat International Voyager Award for her voyage from Central America to Alaska.
Commercially registered, ASTERIA has enjoyed a reputation as a world-class charter vessel able to charter in some of the most remote places on earth but equally at home in St. Barts and Monaco.
Stylish, robust, and ready for anything, ASTERIA is the vessel for that special owner who is perpetually asking “What’s over the horizon, what’s next?”

Once inside the vessel, go to your right to the day head, your cabin or to the upper salon. To your left is the aft salon/library and movie salon as well as the dining room.
The wood paneling is exquisitely joined and though of a darker tone, the interior is bright from the large windows that adorn all the guest areas.
The aft salon/library and movie salon’s most notable feature is the large, almost beam-width extra-wide sofa. The whole family can fit on this sofa and in the two oversized chairs and watch the day’s adventures unfold on the large 75’ OLED television.
Moving forward and separated by large, beveled glass-and-wood doors is the dining room. Simply appointed with several works of art and sculptures with seating for 14.
The commercial galley is right next to the dining room and, like the rest of the vessel, is ready for anything. For an intimate dinner for two or a party of 100, ASTERIA’s galley is well-equipped with ample dry, refrigerated and frozen storage.
A staircase takes us to the second deck and into the main salon. Notable features in the main salon are a full bar and seating all around the perimeter. The seating is perfect for large groups but set up to not lose those intimate nooks that make this ample-sized salon right-sized for any group.
Aft of the main salon is the outside dining and lounging area. A large round table with seating for 12 is surrounded by a large deck of cushioned built-in seating with ample storage underneath. The area can be completely enclosed in inclement or cool weather. There are stairs going from the aft-most part of this deck to the main deck.
The two tenders are stored on this deck but forward of the guest areas so as not to disrupt the view or guests during launching.
The third deck is accessed in several ways. The owner’s suite opens directly onto this deck with additional access via stairs from both the port and starboard sides of the vessel. This wide open deck is feature rich with ample storage for tenders, jet skis, kayaks and the like. It is a fully functional touch-and-go helipad that, when cleared, is an amazing deck for a party, movies or any other fun activity you can think of. Also on this deck is a large workshop and bosun locker.
The fourth deck consists of the captain’s cabin and pilot house. The bridge is equipped with a full ECDIS nav suite and all the bells and whistles (literally) that a modern yacht needs. With ample seating, it’s very inviting for guests who wish to be where the action is.
The fifth deck, like the entire vessel, has ample seating covered with a large bimini top and a partial Perspex wind block. There is an 8-person spa pool that makes this deck an exceptional space to relax and take in the breathtaking views from high above the water.
The larger of the two salons onboard is located on the 2nd deck. Its décor and design evoke the feeling of James Michener’s “Tales of the South Pacific.” One can almost imagine being anchored in a secluded lagoon with a volcano in the background. Access to the salon can be made in 4 ways: from the main deck central stairs, aft from the 2nd deck dining / lounge area and from both port and starboard sides of the vessel. Large windows line both sides of the lounge providing amazing panoramic views. Features include ample, comfortable seating, a wet bar with an icemaker and privacy shades
Located on the main deck this salon can be accessed via the aft deck or through the beveled glass and wooded doors just off the main deck dining room. A 75’ OLED TV is on the forward bulkhead while the rest of the room is bathed in light through 270 degrees of windows. A large almost beam-width sofa, perfect for watching your favorite film or reading a great book, is aft. A Marantz receiver powers a Crestron surround sound system.
Simple, elegant, paneled in wood. The primary feature is a large, horizontally situated table that seats 12 surrounded by custom cabinets for flatware, crockery and glassware.
Alfresco dining at its finest. A large round table that seats up to 14 is surrounded by navy blue lounge pads with white piping. The perfect accent to the teak decks and Matterhorn white bulwarks. Forward are two large teak wet bars with more storage for glassware, crockery and those small umbrellas for tropical drinks.
A notable feature and often overlooked is the luggage room located on the main deck. This large storage area solves a problem that many yachts of this size have and assures you that a Louis Vuitton suitcase won’t be stored next to the emergency generator.
