KIAWAH II

KIAWAH II is a 30-metre motor yacht built by Astondoa in 2001 to their 95 GLX model, with a refit completed in 2022. Her exterior was designed by Nuvolari Lenard, a studio with a consistent presence across Astondoa's range at this scale. She is constructed in GRP on a planing hull, reaching a maximum speed of 22 knots with a cruising pace of 12 knots. Her charter operations are concentrated in the Balearic Islands, specifically Ibiza and its surrounding waters.

Accommodating up to 10 guests across four cabins with a crew of four, KIAWAH II is suited to smaller groups comfortable with a leaner crew complement. At 30 metres she occupies the entry level of the superyacht category, and her format is most appropriate for guests who prioritise access to the Ibiza and Formentera anchorages over larger vessel amenities or extended passage range. Those seeking higher crew ratios, additional onboard facilities, or operation beyond the Balearics will find her scope limited.

The Astondoa 95 GLX is a well-regarded platform in the Spanish builder's production history, and the Nuvolari Lenard exterior gives her a coherent visual identity. The 2022 refit indicates active maintenance investment. At 139 gross tons she is compact but practical for the anchorages and marinas of the Balearic circuit, where her planing hull affords efficient inter-island movement.

Onboard amenities are straightforward and well-matched to her scale. A swimming platform, sunpads, outdoor shower, bow and stern thrusters, and at-anchor stabilizers are among her recorded facilities. Water sports include a jet-ski, water-ski, wakeboard, kayak, paddleboard, doughnut, subwing, and snorkelling equipment — a solid provision for the warm, clear waters of the Western Mediterranean. For a group of up to 10 seeking a capable and well-maintained Balearic charter yacht, KIAWAH II is a considered choice.
