- Asean Lady features a twin asymmetrical hull designed to look like an indigenous South Pacific canoe
- The yacht boats eight staterooms sleeping up to 18 guests, a karaoke room, spiral staircase, bar and helipad

There are bound to be a volley of enquiries – for this yacht of two halves.

The 289-foot (88-metre) yacht features a remarkable hull that’s designed to resemble a proa – a type of bamboo canoe that has been used by the indigenous people of the South Pacific for centuries.
