A boat like this could be straight out of a Batman film. The Hanstaiger X1 trimaran, manufactured in Spain, is bursting with unique features. This includes not only the central living area, which is modelled on a cathedral, but also a cockpit that is reminiscent of the interior of a spaceship. The first model of the X1 type can also be chartered exclusively for sailing. The quoted price is around 4.5 million euros.

The Hanstaiger X1 is offered in two versions, as a sailing yacht and as a motorboat. The sailing boat version is designed to reach speeds of up to 20 knots. The motorboat version should be able to reach up to 30 knots thanks to the more powerful engines. The sailboat is operated solely via electric winches.
Only three boats are to be built in total. The shipyard has not announced whether there is already a successor to the first boat.
The interior of the Hanstaiger X1 is designed like a luxury home. Thanks to the glass roof construction and the oversized side windows, natural light should flood into all areas of the boat. The layout is open-plan so that the crew can move around easily. The bathrooms alone would do credit to many hotels, considering the space, functionality and equipment that can be seen in the photos.
The Hanstaiger X1 offers a 70 square metre lounge area that can be converted into a beach club, with an additional 25 square metre deck and swimming platform extension. The ceiling heights range from 2.3 to 3.2 metres. The owner's cabin is over 30 square metres in size. The flybridge is almost 35 square metres. 80 percent of the interior space is on one level.
Is the Hanstaiger X1 a greenhouse?
The many and sometimes large glass surfaces are a unique feature of the trimaran. However, they should not pose a problem in terms of heat build-up. To regulate the interior temperature and ensure privacy, the windows are equipped with intelligent glass technology that makes it possible to regulate and dim the sunlight entering the interior of the boat. Four large windows can be opened, which further enhances the beach club experience in the lounge.
A specially developed electrical system has massive 50 kW lithium batteries and thus the power to run the boat for hours without having to resort to the generator.
Another highlight of the Hanstaiger X1 is the helm station. It is reminiscent of the cockpit of a fighter plane and can be opened in good weather. The helmsman can monitor the boat via twelve cameras. However, there is no mention of an ejection seat on the shipyard website.
