PICS: The incredible first pictures inside the £15-million superyacht... that can be controlled by an iPad

 

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, she 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.

  

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.

Described as ‘one of the world's most amazing super yachts’, Adastra, unveiled few days ago 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.
