A LITTLE HISTORY... The Asterie boat was born following the disappearance of the famous Moppie from Bertram, which was hugely successful in the Gulf of Saint Tropez. To fill this "gap", Pascal VILLANOVA decided to create his own unit by incorporating all the qualities present in Bertram and adding his personal touch and experience. The result is a simple, robust, and seaworthy boat with a friendly cockpit, all while respecting the specifications required by a professional with a solid mechanical background. Everything is designed inside with a spirit of quality and robustness. If the Asterie is primarily a Day Cruiser intended for day trips, it boasts a small cabin with a proper bathroom space with a shower. The whole is furnished with several storage options including closets and wardrobes, and features a fairly strict decoration that allows it to withstand aging in a marine environment. EXTERIOR LAYOUT The essential part of this boat is located outside. First, access is gained via a generous swim platform that optionally receives a superb built-in ladder with 4 telescopic rungs. After passing through a side gate worthy of a reinforced door, the rear cockpit features a magnificent sunbathing area composed of 3 removable sections with headrests. This surface acts as an engine hatch, which, when raised with the help of a hydraulic piston, allows us to discover the vast space of the engine room. NAVIGATION Equipped with 2 Yanmar diesel engines, this model reaches 25 knots of cruising speed with a consumption at this regime of barely 50 Liters. With its width and very low center of gravity, the Asterie has a good overall balance while slightly bowing at mid-speed to avoid spray.
