Built by Astondoa in 2009, this ASTONDOA 96 GLX flybridge yacht benefitted from a new paint and an extensive interior refit in 2017, enhancing her already stunning décor and stylish base. The boat has undergone several comprehensive refits, including a North-American power converter in 2025.
This extraordinary ASTONDOA 96 GLX is one of only two anywhere in the world. Astondoa has been building custom luxury motor yachts for well over a century, and remarkably they are still a family-owned shipyard. The heritage, passion, experience and attention to detail of Spain’s largest and most successful luxury yacht builder is evident through this vessel’s design and completely embedded in her DNA.
This ASTONDOA 96 GLX motor yacht for sale offers as a unique opportunity to purchase an exceptionally large and incredibly well-built yacht. She is perfect for family adventures, but with the added bonus of being commercially registered, and with a successful charter history.
Her flybridge is worthy of taking centre stage in the design accolades. Astondoa have masterfully created one of the most dynamic upper decks around. Incorporating large social spaces, ample sunbathing areas and an abundance of entertaining and dining options, suitable for any occasion.
Boasting generous spaces inside and out and gorgeous contemporary interiors, this ASTONDOA 96 GLX is an ideal retreat for relaxing on the water. Large volumes and a high headroom paired with a bright and fresh interior décor create a welcoming haven. Guest spaces feature a light washed-oak finish paired with leather trim. A light filled main saloon is an ideal base for hosting, with inviting lounge seating and a full dining table for sharing special meals.
The saloon has a dining table for 8 to 10 guests and so do the aft deck and the flybridge, that has a round table instead (under the hard top), along with a bar, hot tub and lounge area. There is also additional seating with a table in the bow area, which features an awning and sunbeds. There is a day head on the main deck and the crew have their own separate dinette/seating area in the wheelhouse.
On the main deck, the helm controls are placed forward with the galley and main foyer behind. The aft guest area combines the forward formal dining area and the lounge behind. The sophisticated modern environment seats up to eight guests for a lavish meal, and after dinner, the group can settle into the lounge comprised of three sofas in a 'C' arrangement to port with a coffee table between them.
This motor yacht offers copious space throughout, from the expansive flybridge featuring a large jacuzzi and ample dining spaces, through to the interior which offers headroom rarely found on yachts of this size. The beautiful contemporary interiors use light-washed oak and leather trim to emphasise the sense of space and light within while ensuring guest comfort.
The accommodation sleeps up to 10 guests in 4 en-suite cabins. The most impressive feature by far of this ASTONDOA 96 GLX is her palatial beam-wide master cabin, which is accessed from a private staircase. Three further guest cabins can be found forward, offering a VIP, a double and a twin (each with Pullman berths). She offers additional accommodation with separate access from the transom for 4 crew.
Her twin MTU 2000 Hp Diesel engines provide a top speed of 27 knots, a cruising speed of 24 knots and a range of 450 nautical miles. Low consumption speed is set at around 12 knots.
The Zodiac dinghy has a 50 Hp Yamaha outboard engine and is carried on the yacht’s hydraulic swim platform.
