Vitech Astror 59

Classic American trawler with a design that was ahead of its time: in addition to cruising quietly and economically in displacement mode at 10 knots, with fuel consumption of approximately 50 l/h, she is capable of maintaining an impressive cruising speed of 26 knots, with fuel consumption of approximately 200 l/h. The yacht features a three-level deck layout, with all areas conveniently connected. At the stern, the cockpit is equipped with sofas and a dining table. From here, a few comfortable steps lead to the spacious flybridge, which features an exterior helm station, wet bar, sunbathing/lounge area, and a dedicated tender storage space served by a suitable davit crane for launching and retrieval. Forward, on the upper level, there is a large sunbathing area. Finished in light oak, the interior is elegant, bright and remarkably spacious, comfortably accommodating up to six guests. The full-beam owner's stateroom, located aft, is exceptionally generous in size and features a private en-suite bathroom with both shower and bathtub. Forward are a VIP double guest cabin and a cabin with a French double berth; these share a bathroom, while the shower is located in a separate compartment. A single crew cabin with private bathroom is located amidships and benefits from direct access from the deck. The separate galley, equipped with refrigerator, freezer and oven, is located on the accommodation level. The spacious saloon includes the interior helm station, a chart table, a large L-shaped sofa and an entertainment unit with television. The yacht was originally used by the German dealer as a demonstration vessel and was subsequently sold in 1998 to a German couple, who owned her until 2019, when she was purchased by the current owner. The vessel was properly imported into Europe and EU VAT has been paid, with documentation available. The yacht is presented in generally good condition. Some routine maintenance items should be considered in the short term, including the re-sealing of windows and portlights, as well as the rectification of the interior damage resulting from water ingress, battery replacement and general servicing, depending on the intended use of the vessel. In the medium term, potential upgrades could include refurbishment of the air-conditioning system, modernization of the onboard electronics, renewal of exterior cushions and canvas covers, and, over time, an assessment of the condition of the teak decking. The installation of a suitable solar panel system would also be a worthwhile improvement. The asking price reflects these considerations. **This boat lies in Italy and as such, its sale is subject to Italian customs and practices on yachts brokerage, which state that the agency commission of 10% is paid in half between the seller and the buyer. The sale price published on this site is therefore calibrated so that the seller pays to the broker only 5% and does not include the other 5%, which must be paid directly by the buyer to the broker.
