ASTERIA is a 48.38m (158.69 ft) Luxury Explorer Motor Yacht Tug Conversion originally launched in 1970 and after conversion in 2000 extensively refitted in 2019.

Welcome to the ASTERIA Explorer Yacht, the ultimate vessel for those who crave adventure and luxury in equal measure. Built by Greek shipyard ANASTASSIADES & TSORTANIDES in 1970, this ocean-going rescue tug was converted into a world-class expedition yacht by Northport Engineering in New Zealand in 2000/2002. After almost two decades of cruising from pole to pole, she was purchased by the current owner and underwent an extensive refit in 2019, where she was nominated for a Boat International Refit award.

The refit added a new interior that seamlessly combines the classic feel of the yacht with a modern flare. The hull and topsides were freshly painted, and a new hot tub and bimini were added on the uppermost deck. Mechanically, she is in tip-top shape, as the main engine and generator work are up to date. Additionally, she is currently undergoing further updates and improvements, including servicing the Quantum zero-speed stabilizers and rebuilt deck cranes, ensuring that she remains in top shape for her next adventure.

ASTERIA is a proven world cruiser, having traveled to some of the most remote places on Earth, 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. This yacht is ready for any adventure anywhere on the planet.

This 162′ (49.38m) yacht boasts plenty of luxurious amenities, including a touch-and-go helipad, a pilot cabin aboard, an on-deck jacuzzi, and a full beam owner’s stateroom. She can accommodate up to 14 guests in 7 staterooms and 11 crew in 6 cabins, ensuring that everyone on board is comfortable and well taken care of. Additionally, she comes equipped with a Nitrox dive compressor, making it easy for guests to explore the underwater world.

Included in the sale are a 27′ Northwind Tender, 21′ Tino Jet Boat, and (2) Zodiak MK4 Mil Pro, providing ample options for exploring the surrounding waters. Commercially registered, Asteria has a reputation as a world-class charter vessel, making her equally at home in St. Barts and Monaco as she is in some of the most remote places on earth.

Stylish, robust, and ready for anything, ASTERIA is the perfect vessel for that special owner who is perpetually asking, “What’s over the horizon? What’s next?” Don’t miss your chance to own this award-winning yacht and explore the world in style and comfort.
