WHAT ARE "TAKA's" SPECIAL FEATURES?

  • Bulbous bow
    The bulbous bow allows for a finer entry into the
    water, and keeps the nose of the vessel level, which in turn
    stabilizes the entire hull.
  • Hull Stability
    The extra wide beam allows more room inside the
    vessel, and this coupled with the ballast tank arrangement
    prevent rolling while on anchor
  • MTU V12 main engine
    We have more power than is needed, so we are able
    to run at reduced revs, keeping the noise levels down and
    still maintaining good speed.
  • Bow and Stern Thrusters
    These mean we can move away from a dive site in an
    emergency while divers are still in the water with no danger
    from the propeller
  • Entertainment System
    Plasma screens, Denon Hi Fi equipment, In-house
    movies, PS2, Intercoms-it's all there. The entire boat is also
    wired with Cat 6 computer cable for any future gizmos that
    come out.
  • Room, Room, and more Room
    With only 30 passengers, space is not an issue. Plenty
    of places to be, or to hide, the choice is yours!
