Overview
About this vessel
ASTERIA was built and launched by the Greek shipyard ANASTASSIADES & TSORTANIDES in 1970 as an ocean-going rescue tug. In 2000/2002 she was converted into a world-class expedition yacht by Northport Engineering in New Zealand. The owner at the time wanted a vessel that he could cruise the world without sacrificing style and luxury. Subsequently, she may look tough on the outside but inside she is bright, comfortable, and inviting.
After almost two decades of cruising from pole to pole, she was purchased by the current owner and returned to New Zealand in 2019 for another extensive refit where she was nominated for a Boat International Refit award. The French firm Charles Zana redesigned the interior with a contemporary flare, beautifully updating her look while maintaining her classic appeal.
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?"
Main Salon / Skylounge
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. The room features ample, comfortable seating, a wet bar with an icemaker and privacy shades.
Movie Salon and Library
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 television 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.
Main Deck Dining Area
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.
Aft Deck Dining Area
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.
Luggage Room
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.
Galley and Laundry Equipment
ASTERIA has a large commercial galley with everything a chef could need, including walk-in refrigerators, walk-in freezer, convertible walk-in freezer/refrigerator, full commercial galley appliances in stainless steel, dumb waiter, and pantry area.
A full-size laundry with commercial washers and dryers is located forward with access directly from the guest area.
Owner Stateroom
The owner suite on ASTERIA is located forward on the third deck and is bright and sunny with a private entrance to the outside and interior access with fast access to either the pilot house (up) or the main deck (down) via the central stairs. Ample windows on both sides offer amazing views of icebergs, a volcano or dolphins playing around you. His and hers closets line the inboard side of a windowed passageway to the large marble-adorned master bath with shower, tub and double vanity.
Children Stateroom
Just aft of the owner stateroom is the "the little owners" cabin. Two bunks and ample storage make this the perfect cabin for young children. The cabin could easily be converted into a gym, office or wellness center.
Forward VIP Staterooms
Simple, spacious, and comfortable, the guest cabins on ASTERIA with their oversized port holes and muted tones are the perfect venue to recharge after a day of adventure or night on the town.
Guest Staterooms
Stylistically like the other cabins with all of the same amenities as the VIP staterooms.
Pilothouse / Helm
The pilot house is full ECDIS and set up well to safely navigate anywhere in the world, with plenty of seating for crew and guests.
Bridge Deck
A full wrap-around bridge with wing stations on both sides.
Flybridge
The best seat in the house. Full 360-degree views with comfortable seating, a spa pool, an extra-large bimini top, and a low-profile Perspex windshield.
Sundeck / Helideck
Fully certified for private use and capable of landing a 5-tonne helicopter.
Aft Deck
The fantail is a large working space perfect for working out with the boat's gym equipment. Here is where you outfit for the day's adventures, be it diving, kiteboarding, or snow skiing.
