Brighton luxury yacht to be sold and leave the marina

The Astor, said to be the largest power boat in the Marina, was recently put up for sale and has now been bought.

The boat, a Vitech 90 type dating back to 1993, has been in the Marina for over a decade in the same area but will now leave to be refurbished.

Tim Kingston, a broker at Boatshed Yacht Brokers, said: “This is the boat that everyone wanders past and exclaims ‘I want THAT one!’”

“Her sale involved reaching out globally and finding the right person, who wants to return her to her former glory - this involved much assistance by the broker in assessing engine and powertrain condition, to ensure that the purchaser was completely happy and knew exactly what he was purchasing before he bought her.”
