The Adastra superyacht is a floating pleasure palace that would fit as comfortably in outer space as it would on the open sea. And as these amazing new pictures show, SuperYatch is equipped to entertain a billionaire with even the highest of standards. She is the the new pet of Hong Kong-based shipping magnate Anto Marden, whose uses for her may include - among other things - gliding between the two

tropical islands he already owns off the coast of Indonesia. Designed by Sussex-based yacht designer John Shuttleworth, the Adastra is so high-tech, it can even be controlled remotely at the touch of an iPad... as long as you don't get any further away than 50 metres. The yacht's high-concept, space-age look is no gimmick. The shape has been specially developed to cut through waves as it glides across the
high seas.Adastra was built in Zhuhai, China for a couple based in Hong Kong, at the cost of a cool $15 million Described as ‘one of the world's most amazing super yachts’, Adastra, unveiled yesterday in China, took five years to build, is 42.5 metres long, 16 metres wide and weighs 52 tons. Her enormous petrol tank coupled with her dynamic sailing efficiency allows the Adastra to travel up to 4,000 miles

without refuelling - the same distance from London to New York. ‘It takes the power trimaran concept
further than has ever been attempted before,’ Mr Shuttleworth told Boat International. ‘The challenge of turning this concept into a viable luxury yacht has taken us to further research and to develop new thinking on stability and comfort at sea for this type of craft.’ It is the result of five years of planning and construction, and rivals anything owned by yacht-lover Roman Abramovich. The hull of the Adastra is built from glass and Kevlar and can house nine guests and six crewmen. The deck saloon has a panoramic view while the opencockpit has sofas on both sides. The open deck running aft also has a door that hinges out to create a bathing platform. Boat International magazine said Adastra 'could spell the future for efficient long range cruising'. The yacht has an integrated ship monitoring system. Adastra is powered

Adastra's 16-metre beam features a saloon area on the main deck with a lounge area, dining table, and navigation station. The deck at the rear of the yacht has a sofa and bar area to port and a dining area to starboard. The main helm station, which has seating for two, is positioned in a raised pilot
house situated between the rear deck and the saloon area and forms part of the cross beam structure. The Adastra is the latest in a long line of super yachts that compete to be the most high tech. Last year Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich bought a £300 million superyacht with

Parties on the 533ft yacht are guaranteed to stay private, as it’s fitted with an ‘anti-paparazzi shield’ that fires a laser beam of light at cameras to ruin photographs. The 20,000 sq ft interior also houses a sauna, steam bath and whirlpool to help guests wind down.It was commissioned by a billionaire businessman who already owns two islands off Indonesia.
