The ASC58 is a groundbreaking 58-metre twin-Dynarig adventure sailing catamaran, presently being custom-built by Echo Yachts at their Henderson, Western Australia shipyard. This visionary vessel combines the spirit of exploration with cutting-edge sustainability, offering zero-emissions, long-range cruising capabilities.
Her naval architecture and sail plan are the result of collaboration between the renowned Dykstra Naval Architects of the Netherlands and Australia’s One2Three Naval Architects, ensuring world-class performance, stability, and style. Proudly engineered and constructed by Echo Yachts, the ASC58 features automated Dynarig masts and sail systems crafted by Southern Spars — redefining the limits of innovation at sea.
ADVENTURE
Purpose-built for discovery, ASC58 delivers fast, stable, and efficient cruising ideal for wreck exploration, diving, and sportfishing expeditions. She also serves as a fully equipped shadow and support vessel for larger superyachts, featuring a helipad, a 12-metre catamaran dive tender, dedicated dive rooms, and a decompression chamber. A wide range of tenders and watercraft ensures every adventure is within reach.
PERFORMANCE
Under power, the ASC58 is driven by twin Caterpillar 599kW (803bHp) diesel engines with controllable pitch propellers, achieving a top speed of 14 knots (under motor) and 18 knots (under sail before sail reduction). When under sail, she offers whisper-quiet, zero-emission cruising, harnessing the wind through her automated Dynarig system for smooth, sustainable ocean cruising.
ENGINEERING
Built for endurance and ease of operation, the ASC58 features an advanced aluminium hull optimised for seakeeping and efficiency. Integrated shaft generators, controllable pitch propellers, and a high-capacity battery bank enable truly zero-emission sailing. Every system from her robust rig and automated controls to her low-maintenance, expedition-ready interiors has been meticulously designed for global adventure cruising.
Destined to be the largest and most advanced sailing catamaran in the world, ASC58 stands as a testament to Echo Yachts’ craftsmanship, innovation, and commitment to sustainable luxury at sea.
