Astondoa 100 Century yacht launched

　　Spanish boatbuilder Astondoa has launched a new 30.45 metre motor yacht, which is called the Astondoa 100 Century.

　　First announced back in June and due for a public debut at the 2017 Cannes Yachting Festival, this raised pilothouse yacht follows on from the Astondoa 110 Century yacht Sophye, which was launched in 2016 for a Brazilian client.

　　Just like its larger sibling, the 100 Century benefits from a notably elevated superyacht wheelhouse, leaving plenty of room for a full-beam owner’s cabin on the main deck.

　　Further guest accommodation is provided in four cabins situated amidships on the lower deck, taking the total to ten guests, while the crew quarters allows for a staff of up to four people.

　　Interior styling is courtesy of Italian designer Cristiano Gatto, who worked with the client to create “an extraordinary environment”, the yard adds.

　　As the renderings below reveal, the saloon features plush sofas and freestanding armchairs, in keeping with a monochrome aesthetic, while subtly recessed lighting illuminates her cabins.

　　Vital statistics include a beam of 6.9 metres and a maximum draught of 1.8 metres. Power comes from a pair of 2,185hp MTU 16V2000 M86 engines that should propel the Astondoa 100 Century to a comfortable cruising speed of 22 knots, topping out at 26 knots.

　　Astondoa also has plans to expand its Century range with a 36.5 metre model and a 40 metre model both currently on the drawing board.
