AD ASTRA is a Fountaine-Pajot 80ft sailing catamaran offering crewed yacht charters in the Greek Isles.

AD ASTRA is the new flagship from the renowned shipbuilder Fountaine Pajot. This sailing super yacht is of exceptional luxury and space, executing the perfect balance between comfort and distinction. The yacht has a beach club. Down an elegant flight of steps, you reach a platform that stands just above the waterline – ideal for swimmers. This can turn the whole aft area into a huge area for swimmers and sunbathers, or serve as a launch pad for divers and watersports. The aft cockpit offers an incredible entertaining space with multiple sunbeds and a very large dining table. The large forward cockpit has its own bar and a vast sunbed in order to balance the aft relaxation area Under the sunbed is a Jacuzzi. A perfect area to enjoy, relax, and take in the sun. Accommodations are for 10 in one primary king cabin and four queen-bed cabins all with private facilities

The flybridge takes on the mantle of an extra deck, the real story is the elegant wrap-around sofa which provides a really convivial spot for a big group of friends, or the whole family. The flybridges are fully equipped with a full wet bar, as well as a plancha grill. A large 3m-long balcony folds down out of the bulwarks on each side of the cockpit, creating an entirely new dimension to the relaxation options here. While the balcony invites you to dive into the sea alongside, it also creates the opportunity for a sofa, built into the cockpit coaming. In effect, it adds two ‘side cockpits’ to the main cockpit. Deep sofas to starboard and free-standing seating to port with cocktail tables both enjoy fantastic views of the sea through the wrap-around windows.
