Astondoa's Ax8 social cruiser aims to redefine life on the water

Astondoa, a renowned name in the yachting industry, has once again made its mark with the introduction of the Astondoa Ax8, a social cruiser that promises unparalleled experiences from bow to stern. Designed to be lived in, the Ax8 offers owners and guests the opportunity to fully indulge in the pleasures of life on the water.

The Ax8 stands out in the larger crossover segment for its exceptional dimensions, particularly the impressive 6.22m (20.4ft) beam, which exceeds the average in its market segment. This extra width translates into an extraordinary spaciousness within all areas of the yacht, which is expected to make it a highly sought-after yacht.

The yacht's design facilitates an easy and secure passage from the cockpit to the beach club via side passageways. This feature, along with the vessel's interior fittings in the cabin area, exemplifies the thoughtful engineering that Astondoa has put into the Ax8.

The yacht boasts two expansive sun decks — one on the main deck and another on the flybridge. These areas are perfect for socializing, relaxing in the open air, and appreciating the surrounding seascape from different vantage points.

The aft cockpit is generous in size and includes a dining and chill-out area complemented by a protective glass panel that offers a seamless view of the beach club, unifying the entire space for an open, inclusive atmosphere.

Continuing on the second deck, which is fully glazed, the captain's quarters feature an ergonomic helm station. Additionally, a second private lounge is provided for guests, offering a comfortable space for relaxation and retreat.

Following in the footsteps of the As8 model, the Ax8 features a galley dining area with large front and side windows. These windows flood the space with natural light, highlighting the avant-garde design of the yacht's interior.

Below deck, the Ax8 offers a full-beam VIP cabin aft and a guest cabin forward, both boasting generous dimensions. Two additional spacious cabins round out the rest area, each with en suite bathrooms, ample wardrobes, and plenty of storage space. The yacht also includes two crew cabins, ensuring the well-being and privacy of all aboard.

Key specifications include a fuel capacity of 7,100 liters and a freshwater capacity of 1,500 liters. The yacht can accommodate a maximum of 18 people onboard, with four guest cabins plus one for the crew.
