( CNN ) -- At 44 meters long ( 145 ft ) , Hemisphere is the largest sailing catamaran in the world . The makers of Hemisphere believe this is first catamaran superyacht to hit the water and could revolutionize the way people think about sailing . But you 'll need deep pockets to afford this kind of luxury -- the `` supercat '' costs more than $ 250,000 a week to lease . It took more than three years for the first sketch of the vessel to become a reality . Hemisphere made her debut on the world stage last week with Monaco as the appropriately lavish backdrop . While it has taken longer than anticipated to build , those behind the project insist she is worth the wait . `` The level of finishing and luxury of Hemisphere brings her to the category of a superyacht , '' says chief naval architect Marc Van Peteghem . Peteghem believes those in the superyacht market are increasingly conscious of their environmental image and are turning to sailing vessels as a greener solution to luxury travel . He says the catamaran is far greener than motor boats , making the most of nature , rather than fuel , to move . Hemisphere 's interior has been tailored specifically to the luxury market ; 17 different types of granite have been used inside and 16 leather finishes have been applied , according to Burgess , the yacht 's charterers . There are also five spacious ensuite cabins to accommodate passengers with the main cabin featuring complete 360-degree views . Hemisphere is decked out with a host of toys for the discerning seafarer to play with -- smaller speed boats to go water skiing and wake boarding , water scooters and diving gear , as well as a jacuzzi on the fly bridge . It also comes fully equipped with the latest in diving gear to make the most of the boat 's shallow waters capabilities . The catamaran only has a draft of 3.1 meters , meaning it can explore areas previously out of bounds for superyachts .
