Chinese yard Heysea Yachts has launched another superyacht, the tenth hull of their Asteria 108 model. This new superyacht is 33 metres and can reach speeds of up to 23 knots.

Hitting the water for the first time on 11 May, she remains on track for delivery in the middle of June, staying in Hong Kong for six months ahead of her journey to Melbourne, Australia.

Asteria 108 is the first model of the Asteria series and Heysea has delivered one every year since its introduction. Heysea suggests that the popularity of this model is down to its interior customisation options, fluid exterior design, reliable performance and seakeeping ability.

The hull and superstructure of hull #11 of Asteria 108 are already completed and will be joined very soon. She has been upgraded with a multi-functional cabana and a large-scale French window located in her saloon.

A pair of Caterpillar 1900hp diesel engines provide a maximum speed of 23 knots and cruising speed of 18 knots.
