Astondoa 80 Flybridge

So, you’re not one to follow the crowd? Then you might know Astondoa.

- Jeanne Craig​​​​​​​

This century-old, family-owned company has staked its reputation on the ability to craft cruising yachts for those who like to strike out on their own. Each boat, says the Spanish builder with a shipyard in Santa Pola, is tailormade for its owner, and no two Astondoas are alike.

Evidence of that mantra elegantly filled a slip at the Miami Yacht Show in February. The 80 Flybridge that was on display is not all-new (it’s one of at least two dozen 80-footers produced from the same hull), but the interior was a one-off. It was personalized for the owner, a Miami resident who will use the boat to high tail it over to his weekend place in Bimini.
