This amazing Trimaran which cost its Hong Kong shipping billionaire owner Anto Marden, around $23.5 million has been described by Boat International as “one of the world’s most amazing super yachts, that could spell the future for efficient long range cruising”.

Adastra is 42.4 meters long, 16 meters wide and weighs a whopping 52 tons. The trimarans revolutionary design and efficiency in cutting through the waves gives it a cruising capability of 22.5 knots and gives it a range of 4,000 miles.  Designed for 6 crew and 9 guests, with its whopping range Adastra can easily take its owner and their guests from New York to London without refueling.

Adastra is powered by one Caterpillar C18 engine with 1150hp at 2300 rpm and has 2 Yanmar 110hp at 3200 rpm outrigger engines.

But what makes this yacht REALLY impressive is that it can be controlled by and iPad, providing you are not more than 50 meters away. Now that is cool.
