The elevator brings VIP guests to the "Owner's Study." From there, a small corridor leads to the master bedroom, which features 180-degree panoramic windows and a ceiling that opens "to reveal a glass roof for laying under the stars," per the auctioneers.

The aft deck is "great for relaxing in the tub and having a cocktail while the sun goes down," the auctioneers say. The fore deck can be used "as a golf driving range complete with biodegradable, fish food, golf balls," they say.
