Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht AD ASTRA

AD ASTRA is a Moonen 122 Martinique, a contemporary motor yacht designed for those who expect seamless service, refined comfort, and genuine expertise across every nautical mile. Built in 2025, she accommodates ten guests across five cabins (three doubles, two twins) and operates year-round between the Bahamas and the Leeward Islands, with seasonal deployments to St Martin, St Barths, and St Kitts.

Your experience is anchored by a seven-person crew whose depth of knowledge shapes every passage and anchorage. Captain Nick Riley commands with over 100,000 nautical miles of charter and private yacht experience. The deck team (First Officer Kyle Walder, Chase Boat Captain Shaun Walder, Deckhand Bashir Abdalkreem, and Engineer Judicael Nebor) manages tender operations, watersports, passage planning, and the vessel's diesel-electric systems with the precision expected of seasoned professionals. Chef Alexzandria Brown brings Mediterranean-inspired cuisine informed by private club and restaurant experience, creating menus that respond to the season and the rhythm of life at sea. Chief Stewardess Chanice Phillips and Steward Jacob McRae complete the team, delivering the interior service and anticipatory care that distinguishes a properly run yacht.

Whether you charter from Nassau in the Bahamas or opt for winter cruising through the Leewards, AD ASTRA operates at a pace and standard that rewards discerning guests. The yacht handles passage planning with confidence, supports serious water pursuits without fuss, and creates the backdrop for unhurried days in anchorages where time moves differently.

Cruising the Leeward Islands aboard AD ASTRA offers a particular kind of ease. Days typically unfold between turquoise bays, with options to snorkel, dive, or simply remain anchored in quiet coves where the water is clear and the rhythm is slow. Your crew manages all logistics (provisioning, tender operations, passage timing) so that your only decision is how to spend each afternoon. Evening meals can be taken on deck under open sky, in the saloon during inclement weather, or ashore on an arranged beach dinner. The festive season brings special opportunity, whether that means Christmas Day in a secluded anchorage or New Year's Eve near the harbour lights of St Barths. The charter is built around your preferences and the crew's ability to deliver them reliably.
