With its impudent axe-bow, its swept superstructure and its breathtaking aft end, the Astondoa 677 Coupé has the look and feel of an automotive art installation.
On the inside, too, it is littered with sculptural fixtures and fittings that, from the cleats and the air vents to the gates and even the loo roll holders, feel more like thought-provoking mantelpiece curios than functional yacht accessories.
It’s still a practical cruiser though, with big fore and aft lounging zones, plus lavish six-berth accommodation and a choice between IPS drives and MAN V12s on straight shafts for easy 34-knot performance.
