RECREATION
The most fanciful and lighthearted space aboard Taipan is the futuristic, galactic Skylounge. Shooting stars glitter across the twinkling fiber optic ceiling while galaxies glide underfoot. A disappearing television and a hidden chair massage add to the room’s mystique. The state-of-the-art pilothouse is the yacht’s command center. Curved seating provides comfort for guests to observe the yacht’s operation.
No major yacht is complete without a gymnasium and an office. Located just Aft of the Bridge, the Gym has a treadmill, two stationary bikes, a multi-function weight machine and free weights. Besides a panoramic Vista, this room is equipped with a TV/VCR for viewing exercise tapes as well as a stereo for entertainment. A separate hydrotherapy room gives it all the features of a fitness club.
For captains of industry who must keep abreast of the world’s economic developments even when away from the office, Taipan features a private command station. Satellite links provide instantaneous voice, fax and data communication to any place on the globe.
