M/Y Asteria
A 1970 Anastassiades & Tsortanides 162-footer refreshed in 2024 and ready to run.
"Asteria" is a 1970 Anastassiades & Tsortanides 162' expedition yacht offered for sale at $19,900,000, lying United States. Explorer yachts are bought for what they can actually do, and the gap between the marketing word and a genuinely expedition-capable vessel is wide - range at load, redundancy, and classification have to be verified, not believed.
Power is 1 x Caterpillar 3516B, 1,850 hp each, showing 24,805 hours. She cruises around 11 knots and tops out near 14 knots, carrying 188,000 gallons of fuel.
Accommodations run to 7 staterooms for 14 guests, plus crew quarters sleeping 16. She carries naval architecture by Pieter Beeldsnijder and interior by Robinson Marine Interiors and Tracy Barnier-Willis Designs / 2019 Charles Zana.
Highlights
What sets this hull apart on today's market.
Greg Gaus spent more than 20 years as a professional captain and reads an explorer the way a delivery skipper does: real range at loaded displacement, systems redundancy, and classification records before anything else. That is the lens every Double G buyer gets on this listing: what the hull is really worth, what the survey should focus on, and how she compares with every sistership currently for sale.

“
ASTERIA, originally built in 1970 by Greek shipyard ANASTASSIADES & TSORTANIDES as a rescue tug, was converted into a luxury expedition yacht in 2000/2002 by Northport Engineering in New Zealand. Designed for world cruising without sacrificing style, she offers a tough exterior with a bright, comfortable interior.Listing description · YATCO MLS

What does it cost to run a 162-foot expedition yacht?
As of 2026, industry estimates for a crewed 162-footer typically run high six figures to low seven figures per year, with a crew of about six to seven, covering crew, fuel, insurance, dockage, and maintenance. Greg can build a realistic operating budget for this yacht before you offer.
Where can I see "Asteria"?
She is lying in United States and shows by appointment through your broker. Contact Double G Yacht Sales to arrange a private showing.
How does the purchase process work?

How much is Florida sales tax on a yacht?
Florida charges 6% sales tax on boats but caps the total at $18,000 per vessel regardless of price - one of the most favorable regimes in the US. Out-of-state buyers who remove the vessel within the statutory window may qualify for an exemption.
