12m Wave Piercer Power Trimaran
AZZUM – 12m Wave Piercer Power Trimaran
Location: Jomtien, Thailand
Overview
A true one-of-a-kind vessel, AZZUM is a groundbreaking 12.96m (42’6”) wave-piercing power trimaran designed by renowned New Zealand naval architect Craig Loomes and meticulously constructed by C3 Warrick Yeoman in Whangarei, New Zealand. This sleek, high-performance craft was launched in 2010 and built as a demonstrator — resulting in very light use and just 138 hours on her twin Yamaha 350hp outboards.
Combining cutting-edge hydrodynamics with a luxury fit-out, AZZUM delivers exceptional comfort, speed, and stability in a bold, futuristic package — a true “sea Ferrari” or spaceship on water. Whether you’re island-hopping across Southeast Asia or looking for a head-turning chase boat or private explorer, AZZUM is in a class of her own.
