"This agreement is a milestone in our journey. The United States—and Florida in particular—represents a global showcase for luxury yachting. Partnering with Ghost Yachts allows us to bring the soul of Astondoa to clients who seek more than a yacht: they seek a unique, tailor-made experience with our family's signature. Ghost Yachts' dedication to excellence reflects our values perfectly," says Ione Astondoa, COO of Astondoa Shipyard.

Celebrated for its craftsmanship, cutting-edge innovation, and timeless design, Astondoa reinforces its commitment to offering American clients a lifestyle where the sea meets exclusivity.

Ghost Yachts will provide comprehensive representation of the brand across the U.S., offering sales, service, and personalized support for the entire Astondoa fleet. With this partnership, American clients will experience the essence of Astondoa: yachts that transcend luxury and embody true artistry at sea.

"We are honored to represent Astondoa in the United States. Their legacy of craftsmanship and innovation has been long celebrated in the yachting industry. Our clients value authenticity, exclusivity, and excellence—values that Astondoa embodies in every yacht. Together, we look forward to creating unforgettable experiences for American yacht owners," says Bryan Mager, CEO of Ghost Yachts.
