A $5,100,000 price drop has been announced on the 49.4-metre explorer yacht Asteria, listed for sale with Sean Meagher of Worth Avenue Yachts.
Asteria started life as a salvage tug in 1970 at the Anastassiades & Tsortanides shipyard, before being converted into a luxury explorer yacht in 2002. Exterior design is by Pieter Beeldsnijder.
The 669GT Asteria was refitted in 2019, going on to win the Voyager's Award at the 2022 BOAT International World Superyacht Awards for her journey from Central America to Alaska. More recently, she travelled back from the Arctic and her logbook includes trips to both the North and South Poles as well as through the legendary Northwest Passage.
Accommodation is for a party of 14 in seven cabins and a crew of up to 11 in 6 cabins. The French firm Charles Zana was responsible for the redesign, supplying a new interior that blends the feel of a classic vessel with a modern twist. The present layout includes a children's cabin just aft of the master, which can be converted into a gym, study or wellness centre. Interior features throughout include navy-blue deep-cushioned sofas and rich marble bathrooms, amplified by plenty of natural light provided through ample windows.
The Jacuzzi hot tub on the uppermost deck, shaded by a bimini top, and touch-and-go helipad (capable of landing a 5-tonne helicopter) give her a few superyacht touches. The aft deck dining and lounging spaces are complemented by two large teak wet bars and the whole vessel has been repainted, ready for her next owner to go on adventures worldwide.
A single 1,850hp Caterpillar 3516B engine gives the Lloyd's classed explorer yacht for sale a cruising speed of 11 knots and a top speed of 14 knots.
Lying in St Thomas, USVI, Asteria is now asking $19,900,000.
