Catamaran Ad Astra Overview

The Bali 5.4 is a "Multihull of the Year" award-winning catamaran. The design was new to the market in 2019 and provided a fresh approach to sailing. It is revolutionary in how space is accessed, with deliberate attention to flow and open space and it succeeds in producing a scale that feels less like a boat, and more like an upscale floating condominium.

Bali catamarans are known and appreciated for their unparalleled success in blending luxury, space, and performance; producing a sailing experience that is unparalleled. This new design further capitalizes on that reputation with the advent of the "Bali garage door" that is the centerpiece of the yacht. It allows for the aft wall of the yacht to simply disappear, opening up the back of the yacht to an unobstructed view of paradise. This also affords indoor/outdoor dining options and gives the ever-present Caribbean breeze ample opportunity to make its way through the yacht with ease.

With her solid foredeck gone are the forward trampolines, replaced by a large relaxing lounge area complete with cushions for sunbathing. A full-sized door provides access directly from the lounge area into the salon, allowing free movement through the yacht. A walk up to the flybridge unveils a seating area perfect for cocktails and taking in sunsets. There is also another area for sunbathing on the flybridge where you can take in the sights of the islands from the highest vantage point on the yacht.

The Bali open space design is further complimented by the superior outfit and aftermarket items available on Ad Astra. No detail has been left unnoticed from the fine linens to the serving and flatware and crystal wine glasses that make every meal feel luxurious. She has been given every appliance and kitchen accessory to allow the chef to fully showcase the mastery of their skill set. The water toys abound, allowing guests to fully experience all the Caribbean has to offer, both in and out of the water.

Ad Astra will accommodate 10 charter guests in 5 spacious queen cabins. She has black sails, eight extra powerful underwater lights, 60hp outboard dingy, flexiteak on both the aft and front of the yacht, solar panels, air conditioning, water maker, ice maker, full sized refrigerator, a fully customizable menu, Caribbean made ecofriendly and reef safe toiletries, a bar stocked to guest preference, coffee/espresso machine, rendezvous scuba diving, snorkeling gear, underwater scooters, wakeboard, stand up paddle board, ski tube, 10 ft. floating dock, pool noodles, fishing gear, board and card games, television in the salon, Fusion 3
Bluetooth enabled sound system and Ad Astra giveaways.

Captain: Evanne Soeten

Evanne grew up in the Netherlands, near the water where she cruised the beautiful Dutch channels with her parents from a young age. Exploring coastal cities, islands, sailing, and water sports have been a big part of her life since she was young, making her happy and fostering her passion for the sea and everything related to it.

After graduating from International Hospitality Studies & Entrepreneurship, she jumped into the restaurant industry, working as a hostess, barista, and mixologist. Her passion for wine led her to the Wine Academy in Amsterdam, where she completed the Wine & Spirits Educational Trust. Over the next few years, she worked as a sommelier at various Michelin-starred restaurants in the Netherlands and Denmark, including Geranium, the World's Best Restaurant of 2022.

Evanne's love for the sea never faded, so she specialized in sailing and earned her RYA Yacht Master Offshore in South Africa. She gained valuable experience working with the Yacht Week in Croatia and Greece. During this time, she and her partner Stijn discovered the yachting industry and realized they wanted to turn their shared hobbies and passions into a profession. Evanne decided to leave her job as a sommelier to pursue her dreams in the STRA yachting industry as a skipper...read more

Chef: Stijn Van Der Bruggen

Growing up in the south of the Netherlands, Stijn always had a passion for cooking. Even as a child, he knew that this was what he wanted to do. He started honing his skills early, taking lessons from top chefs and eventually graduating from The Cas Spijkers Academy, one of the best culinary schools in the Netherlands known for its French culinary techniques.

After graduation, Stijn dove straight into the world of Michelin-starred restaurants, refining his craft across the Netherlands. His culinary journey didn't stop there, though. He ventured to Norway and Denmark, embracing Nordic cuisine and rising to a leading position at a restaurant in Denmark.

But cooking wasn't Stijn's only love—he had a strong sense of adventure too. He traveled across Asia for a year, constantly seeking new experiences and flavors. Stijn's adventures eventually led him to the Mediterranean, where he completed his first yachting season. Inspired by the experience, he decided to pursue private cooking in the British Virgin Islands. There, he cooked on estates and private islands like Necker Island and Moskito Island.

After another season in the Mediterranean, Stin is excited to return to the Virgin Islands, T'RA ready to continue his culinary journey on the water.
