About this tender
The Astor 36 is the build we ask Bellini for when a programme needs a proper 11.3m walkaround with enough interior volume to overnight four guests and enough deck space to handle twelve passengers at CE Category B offshore certification. It is a centre-console layout designed by Brunello Acampora - clean sheerline, folding port and starboard balconies as standard, and a hull length of 9.99m that sits the boat in a genuinely usable size bracket rather than an inflated marketing number.
Construction is vacuum resin-infused fibreglass throughout, finished in polished white gelcoat or painted to order. The engine menu runs to three twin-sterndrive configurations: twin Volvo Penta V8 350hp petrol, twin V8 380hp petrol, or twin D4 300hp DPI diesel. The diesel pairing is the specification we see most captains return to - 700 litres of fuel in a single tank, approximately 250 nautical miles of range at a 25-27 knot cruise. That puts serious coastal itineraries within reach without a fuel stop.
The interior delivers four berths across a cabin that sources confirm includes a double bed with overhead skylight, a separate bathroom with circular basin and wooden countertop, and a TV-fitted saloon area. At 3.9m beam and 7,350 kg dry, this is a boat that carries its accommodation honestly without compromising the deck proportions that make a walkaround useful as a superyacht tender or chase vessel.
Highlights
The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.
The Astor 36 is built using vacuum resin infusion throughout, giving a consistent laminate quality and a controlled dry weight of 7,350 kg. The hull is available in polished white gelcoat or a painted finish, which holds better against fender contact in tender operations.
Buyers can specify twin Volvo Penta V8 350hp petrol, twin V8 380hp petrol, or twin D4 300hp DPI diesel sterndrives. The diesel configuration paired with a 700-litre single tank delivers an approximate range of 250 nautical miles at cruising speeds of 25-27 knots, which is the configuration we recommend for offshore programmes.
Port and starboard folding balconies are included in the standard specification rather than listed as options. These extend the working beam when moored, give guests a direct connection to the water, and are a meaningful differentiator at this length in the Italian walkaround segment.
The Astor 36 carries CE Category B certification for offshore use and is rated to carry twelve persons. That combination of passenger number and offshore category makes it a credible candidate for superyacht tender duty on programmes operating beyond coastal shelter.
The below-deck arrangement accommodates four berths with a double cabin, separate head with basin and storage, and a saloon area with mounted television. A skylight above the main berth provides natural light - an unusual detail at this price point in a 36-foot build.
