Astondoa S.A. (Astilleros)

Astondoa S.A., also known as Astilleros Astondoa, is a Spanish yacht builder. The company was founded in 1916 by Jesús Astondoa Martínez. Its operations are based in Santa Pola, Alicante, Spain. Initially, the company focused on building wooden fishing boats. Over time, Astondoa transitioned into the leisure yacht market. During the 1960s, the shipyard began incorporating fiberglass into its construction processes, which became a primary material for many of its yacht lines. The shipyard expanded its facilities to accommodate the growing demand for larger and more complex vessels. By the end of the 20th century and into the 21st, Astondoa had diversified its product offerings to include a range of motor yachts, from open and flybridge models to larger superyachts. The company maintains its headquarters and primary production facilities in Santa Pola. Astondoa's production includes custom and semi-custom yachts, emphasizing internal design capabilities and a direct engagement with client preferences. The shipyard has a history of family ownership and management. Its market positioning reflects a focus on the European yacht market, although it has also exported yachts to other regions. Astondoa continues to produce a variety of yacht types, adapting to changes in marine technology and design trends.
