ASTORIA

ASTORIA is a Fountaine Pajot Samana 59, delivered in 2021 with naval architecture by Berret-Racoupeau and exterior styling from the Fountaine Pajot design office. She runs from Marina Alimos year-round under Greek flag, set up for the Cyclades season out of Athens, with Mykonos, Paros, and Santorini all within easy reach.

Ten guests sleep across five en-suite cabins: a full-beam master and four queen doubles, all with private heads. A crew of three runs the boat, with a captain on the helm and a hostess and chef who handle service and the galley between them. The interior is contemporary, light-filled, and quiet underway.

The 30 m² flybridge is the social heart of the boat: sun loungers, alfresco dining for ten, and a clear view forward across both hulls. Below it, the main saloon opens onto the 27.5 m² aft cockpit through full-width sliders, with the galley up on the same level so the cook stays in the conversation. The foredeck carries modular sunpads for quiet sessions away from the action, and an A La Plancha cooking station handles outdoor lunches.

Twin Volvo D3 150HP diesels and a full sailing rig give her 8 knots cruising under power, with solar panels, a watermaker, and electric winches keeping the boat self-sufficient at anchor. Toys cover the family programme: two Seabobs, two paddleboards, a wakeboard, monoski and water skis, snorkel and fishing kit, and a towable for the kids. A Stingher 380 tender with 60HP handles the shore runs and beach drops.
