THE NEW ASTOR 68: A NEW EXPRESSION OF CONTEMPORARY YACHTING THROUGH DESIGN AND DIGITAL ART

Bellini Yacht announces the launch of the Astor 68, the new model that expands the shipyard’s lineup and reinterprets its vision of contemporary yachting with renewed elegance. The project is unveiled through an unprecedented digital presentation created in collaboration with Andrés Reisinger, an Argentine artist and designer who ranks among the most influential figures in the contemporary creative scene. His internationally recognized work explores the dialogue between the physical dimension and the digital imagination, giving life to works that redefine the perception of space and the visual experience.

For the Astor 68, Reisinger offers an immersive and evocative interpretation of the project, capturing its essence through a digital narrative that enriches the story without altering the yacht’s industrial or naval design. To learn more about his work: reisinger.studio.

The Astor 68 will make its world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival, scheduled for September 8–13, 2026. This debut marks a new milestone in Bellini Yacht’s evolutionary journey and reaffirms a vision of yachting in which design culture, innovation, and the quality of the onboard experience converge into a refined and distinctive identity.

“What interests me is not representing an object, but creating an emotional space around it. With the Astor 68, we explored how a yacht can exist simultaneously as a physical destination and as an idea—something that evokes freedom,
tranquility, and aspiration even before it is experienced in reality. This collaboration has allowed us to craft a narrative in which technology and poetry coexist, expanding the way we imagine contemporary yachting,” says Andrés Reisinger.

The Astor 68 stems from a design approach rooted in design thinking, developed through an analysis of new lifestyles and the ability to envision future ways of experiencing life on board. Connection, flexibility, and transparency are the principles guiding every design choice, defining the yacht’s architecture and shaping fluid, open spaces that are in constant dialogue with the surrounding environment.

This philosophy takes shape in a multi-level layout designed to enhance the constant dialogue between the boat and the outdoor environment. The beach area, with a surface area of over 37 square meters and located less than one meter above water level, is configured as an open, terraced space designed to offer an immersive experience and an immediate connection with the horizon. On the upper level, the salon and the social areas at the bow unfold in a more intimate and sheltered setting, maintaining a natural continuity between interior and exterior spaces while prioritizing light and openness.

“The Astor 68 represents a new step in the evolution of our lineup, combining research, innovation, and a keen sensitivity to how people experience life on board,” says Martina Bellini, Head of Marketing & Communication at Bellini Yacht Group. “This project reflects our commitment to a forward-looking vision, where design, functionality, and storytelling converge. The collaboration with Andrés Reisinger also adds a contemporary and unexpected dimension to the way the yacht is presented.”

With the Astor 68, Bellini Yacht continues on its path to developing a cohesive, forward-looking lineup, where design culture, innovation, and nautical expertise merge into a distinctive and recognizable identity.
