General description

Taipan TNG epitomizes the pinnacle of luxury cruising, offering discerning owners the opportunity to explore the world's oceans in unparalleled comfort, style, and performance. Construction of TAIPAN TNG was completed in 2001 for an experienced owner that wanted to undertake a worldwide cruising schedule. Benefitting from advanced systems, and meticulous attention to detail, this yacht is not only a statement of prestige but also a capable and reliable vessel for global adventures.

Taipan underwent a recent refit at Hamble Yacht Services on the south coast of the UK in 2022. This included replacement of her navionics to B&G, sanding and treatment of her teak deck, rig servicing and replacement of all her 24V batteries.

Currently lying in Penarth Marina Cardiff, viewing is highly recommended.
