ASTORIA

ASTORIA is a Fountaine Pajot Samana 59 sailing catamaran built in 2021, representing the French builder's commitment to space, comfort, and thoughtful design. Based in Marina Alimos near Athens, she offers crewed charters for up to ten guests across five ensuite cabins—one master with private bathroom and four queen cabins, each with private facilities. Measuring 18.87 metres in length with a beam of 9.46 metres, ASTORIA delivers the generous proportions that distinguish modern catamaran design, particularly in her most distinctive feature: an expansive flybridge unmatched in its class.

The yacht's interior layout reflects careful planning for both social engagement and private respite. A galley-up configuration opens onto a spacious main saloon with direct access to both the foredeck and aft deck, allowing guests to flow seamlessly between indoor and outdoor living areas. The expansive cockpit seats guests comfortably for dining, while the foredeck provides modular sunbathing stations ideal for Aegean cruising. Dual trampolines forward offer casual lounging, and a sunken lounge area provides additional gathering space. The flybridge—remarkably generous for a vessel of this size—serves as an additional retreat for morning coffee or sunset cocktails, capturing unobstructed views across Greece's islands. Interior design carries a crisp, cohesive aesthetic with a red theme and sailing-themed artwork throughout.

Powered by twin Volvo D3 150-horsepower diesel engines, ASTORIA cruises comfortably at eight knots and handles the varied conditions of the Cyclades with ease, whether cutting through open water between islands or positioning in the protected anchorages of Mykonos, Paros, and Naxos. A professional crew of three manages all aspects of your voyage, allowing guests to focus entirely on their experience. The captain holds a Yachtmaster Offshore certification, while the onboard chef draws on fine dining experience across Bulgaria and Germany, specializing in fresh Aegean seafood, local ingredients, and signature risottos—with flexibility for dietary preferences.

An exceptionally functional hydraulic swim platform creates a water-level beach for effortless launching and boarding. Water activities span two Seabobs for premium underwater exploration, paddleboards, wakeboards, adult waterskis, monoskis, and towable inflatables. Comprehensive snorkeling equipment and fishing gear support those exploring the underwater world. Board games and relaxation options suit calmer days or evening entertainment.

ASTORIA charter vacations in the Greek islands combine the architectural refinement and French design philosophy Fountaine Pajot is known for with personalized hospitality from a crew familiar with the Saronic Gulf and lesser-known local anchorages. Her location in the heart of the Aegean, combined with her sophisticated layout and amenities, makes her ideally suited for families or groups seeking an immersive Mediterranean experience without compromise on comfort or style.
