A closer look
The Main Saloon: An Ode to Light
Step into a main saloon where natural light pours in through generous windows, illuminating a symphony of textures and bespoke furnishings. The rich timber panelling, a nod to her storied past, is perfectly complemented by contemporary art and plush seating. It’s a space crafted for convivial gatherings, hushed conversations, or simply savouring the vast ocean vistas unfolding beyond the glass, all while the gentle hum of the air conditioning maintains a perfect climate.
Aft Deck: Al Fresco Grandeur
The expansive aft deck serves as a sophisticated outdoor living room, offering an idyllic setting for everything from morning coffees to starlit suppers. Sink into deep, comfortable lounge seating, perfectly positioned to absorb the panoramic scenery. The polished teak underfoot speaks of classic yachting elegance, while subtle lighting transforms the space into an intimate haven as dusk descends, inviting contemplation and conversation under the vast Indian Ocean sky.
Sky Lounge: Elevated Perspectives
Ascend to the sky lounge, an elevated sanctuary designed for panoramic appreciation. Here, the horizon stretches endlessly, offering an ever-changing tableau of sea and sky. Comfortable seating arrangements invite relaxation, perhaps with a book from the curated onboard library or simply to observe the world drift by. It's a versatile space, perfect for an evening aperitif as the sun dips below the waves, painting the sky in fiery hues.
Bridge Deck: Command and Comfort
The bridge deck offers a unique vantage point, a testament to the yacht's operational heart. While professional crew navigate, guests can observe the intricate dance of seamanship or simply enjoy the exhilarating rush of sea air as the yacht glides. Adjacent, a secluded seating area provides a more private retreat, ideal for quiet moments away from the main activity, offering uninterrupted views of the yacht's majestic bow cutting through the waves.
Sun Deck: Uninterrupted Serenity
Bask in the glorious Indian Ocean sun on the sprawling sun deck, a haven for relaxation and rejuvenation. Plush sun loungers invite hours of blissful repose, perhaps with the gentle caress of the sea breeze. This elevated expanse offers uninterrupted 360-degree views, making it an idyllic spot for sunbathing, enjoying a refreshing drink, or simply marvelling at the boundless beauty of your surroundings. It's truly a place to disconnect and rediscover inner calm.
Accommodation
Six meticulously designed cabins provide a serene retreat for twelve guests. Each space is a testament to understated elegance, featuring a harmonious blend of classic yachting charm and contemporary comfort. The master suite, a private sanctuary, boasts expansive windows offering breathtaking ocean vistas from the comfort of your bed. En-suite bathrooms, finished with exquisite materials, elevate the bathing ritual into a luxurious experience. Throughout, the thoughtful layout ensures privacy and comfort, with ample storage and sumptuous linens, promising restorative nights at sea, lulled by the gentle rhythm of the ocean.
Culinary excellence is at the heart of the experience, with an onboard chef crafting bespoke menus tailored to your preferences. From fresh, locally sourced seafood caught in the Indian Ocean to international gourmet dishes, every meal is a celebration. Enjoy elegant formal dinners in the main dining saloon, casual al fresco lunches on the aft deck, or intimate breakfasts on the sun deck as the morning sun kisses the waves. Each dining experience is elevated by impeccable service and breathtaking backdrops, transforming every meal into a memorable occasion.
While not a dedicated spa vessel, she offers moments of pure tranquility. The expansive decks provide ample space for a sunrise yoga session or a quiet meditation amidst the vastness of the ocean. Her stabilisers ensure a calm and steady platform for relaxation, allowing you to fully unwind and reconnect with your inner peace. Later, perhaps, a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters surrounding the yacht, a natural wellness tonic for body and soul.
The azure waters of the Indian Ocean beckon, and a carefully curated selection of water toys ensures exhilarating aquatic adventures. From powerful tenders ready to whisk you to secluded coves to an array of equipment for snorkelling and paddleboarding, there is something for every guest. Explore vibrant coral reefs, glide across the surface on a stand-up paddleboard, or simply enjoy the thrill of being on the water, creating unforgettable memories in paradise.

What a yacht like ASTERIA costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on ASTERIA is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 50m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
