This just popped up on my feed, and I'm happy to say that I'm one of those that has been towed by her when she was still a Rescue cruiser, not in an emergency but due to a cracked propeller shaft. Was also a joy to watch her break ice for the fishing vessels in the winters passing outside my apartment window.
What a magnificent vessel! As an ex-mariner with a scant 5 years at sea as a cadet and 3/O this is my dream vessel. I'd be deeply honoured and privileged to crew on this vessel with this Master.
The pilot house, i thought, was amazing. That was until i saw a machine shop in the engine room. Wow. I pilot and do maintenance on my vessel. I imagine there was welder somewhere handy also.
An amazing vessel comprehensively fitted. Only thing I would fit to her would be a single stainless handrail drop bar across lower deck access stairs. A necessity in large confused seas.
I am so impressed with this style of vessel that I rightly have no words. Thank you John. 🍷 Thank you also to the Captain and crew. Amazing what you have done! 🤗 ❤
What a vessel! It's like a purpose built explorer vessel that eschews luxury in favor of a spartan-esque existence. Sadly though, it sounds like they were just doing 'a job' as opposed to having fun while doing it. Unless they were pulling into ports to explore and getting out into the water to swim, or fish and maybe dive some it just seems like a mission specific vessel and not really something fun to do. While I get the idea, and the journey certainly seems cool, I don't know if I would want to leave my family for that long just to live and work on a boat that really didn't do anything but travel. I want to actually explore different ports, islands, regions of the Oceans, fish and swim in the ocean. But that's me
I, too, prefer function over form. However were she mine, I'd have to make a few changes (most of them to keep my 'first mate' from forming a mutiny. I, too, would not care to simply sail for the purpose of covering the oceans. I am an explorer. There's so much more to see than just the sea. Thousands of miles on a crossing must have an objective greater the distance traveled. My ideal vessel would provide range to go wherever I may want to go, to do so safely as possible regardless of conditions encountered, and dependability (I love that is vessel is ice rated). Composite and aluminon hulls would make me so nervous I'd never feel comfortable with either type when thousands of miles lie between me and dry land. This vessel is not ideal in terms of comfort, but that is a situation addressed with a few minor changes. In terms of seaworthiness it would be hard to beat considering its size. There aren't many other vessels in the 60 to 65 foot range I'd choose over this one - especially given all pertinent factors, i.e., range, safety, construction, redundancies, and initial cost. Great vessel for about 2.2.m US. Oh, my 'first mate' is presently going on and on with 'does it have a washer and dryer? 'No, washer, no dryer, I'm not going to sea.' Blah, blah, blah. I don't know. Maybe one possible upgrade should be the addition of a 'plank'? ; )
@@DanielOlaiDanielsen :My bad. Math skills must have been on hold. The added length, an actual 76+ footer, is a huge plus. Now I really want one pretty much just like it.
I'm 2 minutes in and I'm in love. 700k fuel bill, YIKES. Then again that only just fills some superyachts. That is a bridge and an engine room to die for, she's perfect in all regards.
I _Love_ the feeling of Strength you get from the structure of this type Knowing a bit of Engineering - I kept running numbers as you narrated things And now? it's 2nd Life is as a *_Livable_* ... POWERFUL Yacht- ...Awesome
Wow I’m at a loss for words. Honestly, this video was so enjoyable to watch. I was hooked before you went into the Engine room but after I saw that room I could not believe my eyes. It’s absolutely breathtaking! I realize that sounds weird but when you love boats like I love boats you know exactly what I mean. What a classy ship she is. ASTRA is now officially my new favorite. Sure wish I had money to buy a boat like her but she’s too rich for my blood. I’ve got the know how and the experience but no money. I love this boat!!!!! Peace✌️😎🇺🇸🤣😎🇺🇸
I've been watching videos about pleasure boats on the NautiStyles channel. Nice as they are, they seem like toys compared to this machine. Impressive. This raw and unpolished "proper ship" feeling has a special appeal those luxury yachts just don't have.
Great Little ship all around. Love the beefy work horse look of it all away around. Even though it does not have that convertible warm little home on the ocean that I would like, it has everything else. Even though it does not have that little home, I give this 1 two thumbs up.
I am from Sweden and from the island the she was operating as a SAR vessel. I remember when I use to work on her as a young boy. It was really interesting to see what she has become😀
Man, boat vs the seas. This is not a foo foo boat loaded with bling. Safety of crew is foremost and the electronics are top rate. My type of boat. Great video.
A very good walk through of an awesome vessel, probably your best yet. The touches of a professional mariner like Capt Ian were very, very obvious! The capability of Astra is impressive, to do that Cape to Cape circumnavigation is enormous and not for the faint hearted.
Absolutely a wonderful workung and go anywhere ship. I loved seeing that bridge and you see someone or a like minded group of people who love the sea working together figured out the correct equipment needed to put on her so they wouldn't have troubles when out in the middle of nowhere, they have what they need to stay safe. It didn't say anything about how much food storage onboard did it, atleast I don't remember if it did. But being able to travel that far I 'd say you must have many freezers, dry storage and wet storage that must be rather large. Thank you for sharing this with us and looking forward to seeing the next video you post. 2 thumbs up my friend.
It had a HUGE freezer with bins and a large assortment of labeled dry good storage....Go back and watch again from about 21:35 to 13:15 and you will see it. There was also plenty of room in the side bins of the lazzerette to store bottle and can drinks if you wanted. For a crew of 4-6 you could probably go 6 months without reprovisioning I would think.
Nice boat, built to it’s purpose. Perfect for Baltic, Norway, maybe Greenland. You demonstrated what happens when not stabilized, is the stabilizers retractable ? Unfortunately I don’t believe it can get back into professional use, otherwise it would make a nice tug for hauling small barges on long trips. 15 / 30 T pull will be enough on small barges. Even in icy water 👍👍 The main engine model, is very well known for its low consumption and reliability 👍
BOAT BOUY is the absolutely best at what he does. BOAT REVIEWS. You, cover sea vessels down to their last nut & bolt and absolutely ENJOY it! What a great review. Thank you.
Should I ever be lucky enough to win the Euromillions Lottery, This is the sort of Ship I would buy, Nothing too showy but more than Comfortable to go on a World Tour.
I love this. Such an old-fashioned boat that reminds me of my 60s. I called the little coaster "a sloop with delusions of pride". Beautifully told and cool images. Ps, I watch all your RUclips movies.
OK....this boat is simply the epitome of "take me someplace kinda dangerous and get me home in one piece". I figured it would be after hearing that it was originally built for Search and Rescue.
⚓️ This vessel will no doubt find a new owner, considering the specification it’s actually not that expensive. It might not be the biggest or fastest but will get you there safely. It might not be fitted with luxury items but has been designed to be functional and purposeful at the same time.
This vessel will be a difficult sale. I assume the listed 9k range is based on the 7 or 8 fuel totes being on board? The potential buyer pool is very shallow; how many buyers are going to be thrilled with the "wet decks" design or the over done pilot house? Who needs 4 radar units? Heck, the USN Destroyer I was on as lead navigator didn't have that many? Don't think the wife would be impressed with the living or galley accommodations. ASTRA is a very robust vessel suitable for a specific, limited mission and potential buyers are few in number. Great video, interesting boat, and good luck in finding a new owner.
Lost my message, will try again. I was in Viet Nam for a year on 50-foot patrol boats, Swift Boats, then finished my enlistment as a Quartermaster on destroyer USS AULT, DD 698 where I was lead navigator. The wife (Admiral) and I occasionally do bareboat charters where we patrol the waters of the San Juan Islands. Your videos are great and I very much enjoy them.
Great exploration vessel but not really a family cruising yacht. Thanks for bringing us this video. I have been watching this ship for a few months after finding the circumnavigation video they put out. 🍻
I believe you mentioned 331000 L fuel use on the expedition. Say an average 6 euros a liter= almost 2 million in fuel costs. Congratulations to the captain and crew. That this is the first time this has been done is telling. Thank you for sharing this epic story and vessel here. EDIT: The engine rooms on this vessel and the vessel itself are glorious. Thanks again.
I just can't get over how awesome I think this boat is....I've always dreamed of doing the same thing as this guy....if I ever came in to a fortune I'd do the same thing. I love how this boat isn't all sterile looking and dressed out in luxury interior.....this is a working boat....it's clean but you can tell it gets used. This is a true exploring man's ship....I bet this thing could sail right thru a super typhoon.

This is a one off .i doubt you would find such a well fitted explorer boat of this size any where on the planet. 16 ml hull plates says it all.this little ship can take anything the sea can throw at it .thanks for the tour really enjoyed it .
Seeing a stainless steel bench with a 6 inch vice bolted through it and a tool box stowed underneath being described as a 'workshop' has always made me grimace- Seeing a full-on lathe, bench grinders and drill press on the other hand...Just WOW! Beautiful boat, many thanks for showing us!
@YachtBuoy I was amazed at the refit of Lone Ranger back in the 90s when Peter Luis bought her. After working on that ship for two-and-a-half or three weeks on my shift, I am very impressed with this refit, especially for the size of the boat and its capabilities. Please bring more of these videos.

That's a propper boat.. no huge owners cabin.. no jacuzzi.. everyone has similar sleeping environment.... a working vessel.. wow... I dig it...!!
