The Askari 65 Power is a luxury long-range cruiser, meticulously designed for refined living and true ocean exploration. Constructed in aluminium and built in Cape Town by veteran boatbuilders at Askari Yachts, this vessel represents the perfect fusion of endurance, elegance and engineering excellence.
As the most prolific yacht design firm in the Southern Hemisphere by tonnage and metres designed, Du Toit Yacht Design (DTYD) brings decades of naval architecture expertise to the Askari 65. This is a yacht built for serious voyaging—offering full standing headroom throughout (including the engine room), multiple interior layout configurations, and the long-range capability that ocean-going adventurers demand.
Owners can tailor their vessel to their lifestyle, with options for four ensuite double cabins, three guest suites and a dedicated crew cabin, or even a full owner’s hull. The interior layout is fully customisable thanks to the strength and adaptability of aluminium construction, which also offers benefits such as fire resistance, reduced maintenance and exceptional longevity.
With a top speed of 16 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 10 knots, the Askari 65 delivers both power and efficiency. It boasts an impressive range of 2,500 nautical miles at 10 knots—and up to 3,900 nautical miles at 6 knots—on 4,650 litres of fuel, making it ideal for extended journeys off the beaten path.
This is a vessel where beauty meets capability—engineered by DTYD to perform in challenging conditions while offering the interior space, comfort and styling expected of a modern luxury yacht
