2025 AST AST-F08

Step aboard the AST-F08 and you’ll notice how much thought went into making a compact workhorse feel like a bigger boat. The deep, secure cockpit and generous freeboard give crew and guests confidence when the water gets a bit choppy. Stainless hardware and grab rails are placed where your hands naturally go, making docking and quick maneuvers less stressful. The length and beam balance stability with nimble handling, so threading through tight marinas or busy resort shorelines is easy. With room to customize seating, storage, and console layout, it can be outfitted for patrol, shuttle service, or resort play—all on a platform that’s simple to clean down and turn around between trips.

The AST-F08 shines in waters where commercial operators need a dependable, low‑maintenance platform that still feels sporty and responsive. Its size is ideal for short-hop transfers, waterfront tours, and resort operations, slipping into shallow approaches and tight docks where larger craft struggle. The hull form and weight give reassuring stability for passengers who may be new to boating, while the recommended power range delivers efficient cruising instead of fuel‑hungry sprints. Durable finishes and tough construction suit frequent departures and long operating days, and the open layout is easy to configure for local business needs—whether that’s seating, gear transport, or light-duty support work.
