Experience from the automotive industry

The design development centre in the Japanese Toyota City was commissioned with designing a yacht for 6 to 8 people powered by powerful Lexus V8 units. This was a one-off product with no ambitions at mass production. It was a very attractive project for the developers which of course resulted in creation of a luxury product.

The unique body of the yacht is manufactured from material called CFRP, which is short for carbon-fibre reinforced plastic. This concerns technology which is for example used during design of racing cars. The yacht is powered by 2 five-litre petrol engines and can reach a speed of up to 79 km/h.

There is also a luxury interior

You will find a touch-screen panel in the cockpit by the helm displaying GPS data, digital maps and information from the radar which maps the situation above the waves. The captain’s seat is electronically adjustable and if you fold out the armrests, 2 jump seats are created at the sides.

You will also find true luxury in the passenger cabin: unique leather with wood and glass details. There is seating for 6 people, a table and of course air-conditioning. The yacht also has a galley and luxury toilet and shower.

The Italian VideoWorks studio designed the integrated audio-visual entertainment system and Revolution Acoustic speakers ensure a unique sound. The yacht is 12.7 metres in length and has a maximum width of 3.86 metres.

Although you won’t be sailing out to sea with this yacht, it is possible that it is the first small glimpse of things soon to come. 

A luxurious location for a radio station

The island of Oahu is located about 13 miles from Honolulu and Haiku was originally a military stairway.

In 1942, the American army wanted to establish a radio station on the Ko'olau Mountain Range and it was precisely there, at a height of 775 that it was in fact built. A total of 3,992 wooden stairs led up to this, later replaced by steel ones. It is precisely these steps which attract adventurers, lovers of luxurious views and a feeling of freedom.

To heaven despite the ban

The path has been closed since 1987 due to possible landslides and the ever-increasing risk, but travellers who yearn for new experiences are not put off by this fact. Their longing for luxurious views which you can’t experience anywhere else are just stronger.

Every single traveller who has travelled here and conquered the stairs claims that it is one of the more beautiful experiences they have ever had. You are certain to take the most impressive and powerful impressions away with you if you get here as the sun rises. You will however increase your level of adrenaline due to the fact that you will have to avoid the guards watching the stairs. 

Future of the stairs

The stairs were open to the public in the past, so it is possible that they will be reopened with an entrance fee charged. Costly reconstruction is however necessary to save them and for the time being, only the voluntary organisation Friends of Ha'ikü Stairs looks after them.

The authorities are however also considering tearing the stairs down, something which has caused outcry among the locals for whom the stairs represent one of the symbols of the island. We will leave it for you to decide whether it would be a shame to deny mankind such a fascinating route and such breath-taking views.
