Asya Superyacht

Asya carries her jacuzzi out on deck, hot water under an open sky, and the deck she carries it on belongs to a 153ft (47m) Heesen superyacht built in 2015 and refitted in 2022.

Water toys

Guests go ashore in a custom 22ft Dariel tender, and for the water itself she carries a Seadoo GTX-R and a Kawasaki stand-up jetski, two machines so two riders can be out at the same time. Wakeboards, water skis and a kneeboard are towed behind her, a single paddle board is the quiet choice, moved by paddle alone, and fishing and snorkelling gear round out the eight toys aboard. A swim platform puts the water itself a step away.

Where she cruises

Asya keeps her home port at Cannes, in France, and the coasts she works are those of France, Monaco and Italy, so three countries' shores lie open to her guests from the same deck.

Accommodation and crew

Five staterooms sleep twelve guests, and twelve is also the number she carries by day, so the party aboard never grows beyond the people who sleep there. Ten crew look after them, which puts almost as many people at work aboard as there are guests, and July and August are the two months of her peak season.

Comfort under way

Her hull is steel and two MTU engines drive it, giving a cruise of 10 knots and a top speed of 15, with fuel use at that cruise of 150 litres an hour. Stabilisers work while she is moving, so her passages come with less roll than the hull alone would allow.

Charter notes

Asya is offered for charter by the week or as a three-day hire, and for an event she can take 70 guests aboard against the twelve who cruise with her. Two couples sharing her or a family filling her staterooms are the parties she fits, and her zero-speed stabilisers keep working once the anchor is down, so the nights aboard pass with less movement than a steel hull at rest would otherwise give.
