Cannes, France · world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival.
Created with racing driver Francesco Castellacci, Astor 38 PISTA turns motorsport precision, bespoke craftsmanship and high-performance cockpit details into a singular experience on the water.
A bespoke beginning
Astor 38 PISTA began when professional racing driver Francesco Castellacci asked Bellini Yacht to translate the adrenaline, precision and control of motorsport into a marine experience.
Racing language, crafted at sea
The one-off collaboration blends Bellini Yacht's Rational Essence with a vivid metallic silver and red finish, teak deck and custom graphics carrying the PISTA signature.
A cockpit shaped around control
Carbon-fiber details, seat shells inspired by high-performance cockpits, a red-centered steering wheel and a custom Daytona-inspired upholstery pattern carry the racing reference into every touchpoint.
From one-off to a new range
The prototype became the starting point for the production Astor 38, while remaining a distinct one-off expression commissioned for its first owner.
“What struck me was the extremely tailored approach to the project: it's not just about choosing a boat, but building it together, detail by detail.”
