Aquastar 75: The Ultimate Blue-Water Motor Yacht

1. General Information

The Aquastar 75 is a sleek, contemporary and supremely seaworthy flybridge motor yacht that evolves the renowned Aquastar 74, which stayed in production for a decade. Styled by Design Unlimited, it measures 22.86 m with a 5.86 m beam and a 1.67 m draft, and carries more than 2,000 gallons of fuel for genuine long-range cruising. Twin Caterpillar C18 diesels of 1,150 hp on shafts give a cruising speed of around 24 knots, with C15 860 hp engines as an alternative.

Owners can sleep comfortably on passage thanks to a hull that does not pound like a planing boat, and Sleipner stabilisers that also work at anchor. The interior offers an imaginative layout with superb accommodation and an efficient helm, and is built bespoke to each owner's requirements in Guernsey.

2. Construction and Design

The 75 retains the all-round seakeeping proven over many years on Aquastar's commercial boats, with a good balance of beam and length and a slippery hull shape that keeps fuel consumption low. Its GRP construction follows the yard's long experience of strong, well-compartmented hulls.

Technology is a highlight: two separate NMEA bus lines and dual processors give failsafe electrical systems with self-diagnostics, and owners can monitor cameras, shore power and lighting remotely from a smartphone. Remote hydraulic bow and stern thrusters and a hydraulic bathing platform make it easy for two people to handle and to launch a tender.

3. Key Features

4. Summary
