Jacuzzi under the sunbed. Fold‑out sea balconies. Hydraulic beach club. Ad Astra 80 is built around one idea: the whole stern turns into your private waterfront. The hydraulic swim platform drops to water level, side balconies fold out from the cockpit, and suddenly the back of the yacht becomes a multi-level beach club for swimmers, SeaBobs, kids, cocktails, and “we’re not going back to the hotel” energy.
Flybridge = extra deck, not marketing fluff. Up top you get a full wet bar, plancha grill, and a wrap‑around sofa designed for an actual group of 10 people to sit, spread out and still see the water, not each other’s backs. This is where long lunches, late‑night debriefs and quiet conference calls all happen without feeling like you’re hiding in a corner.
Sleeping setup built for adults, not compromises. Launched in 2024, Ad Astra 80 sleeps up to 10 guests in one full-beam owner’s suite and four equal queen cabins, all with private facilities. No bunks, no “kids’ cabin,” no one drawing the short straw. Bathrooms are modern, well‑spec’d, and serviced by a crew that treats turn‑down as a contact sport.
Water toys: bring the energetic friend group. Highfield tender with 80 hp, 2 SeaBobs, 2 kayaks, 2 paddleboards, jet ski, wakeboard, adult skis, inflatables, snorkeling and fishing gear. Add the optional 34ft chase boat with twin 300s if your definition of “short hop to lunch” involves planing speed and sunglasses that don’t move.
Hardware is nice. The real upgrade is the crew. A career captain with deep local knowledge, a Le Monde–trained chef running a restaurant‑level menu (think ceviche, lobster, serious desserts), and a service team from 5‑star / Michelin backgrounds. Translation: you get serious seamanship, high‑end food, and hotel‑grade service in a floating villa that just happens to be an 80ft Fountaine Pajot catamaran.

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a sailing catamaran like AD ASTRA 80, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price (€13,000 - €22,750), making the charter cost €78,000 to €87,750. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.

When you're on a boat like that, the people in the crew are living with you in close proximity. This crew was incredible in being available at any time but also not feeling like they were underfoot. Such a wonderful group of people you have working for you!
