The Worlds Largest Privately Owned Yacht “Octopus”

In 2003, the launch of Paul Allen's 127m (416ft) "Octopus" secured its number one position as the world's
largest yacht.

Microsoft's "accidental billionaire" Paul Allen - worth US$20 billion according to Forbes, the third richest man in America and 7th in the world - owns two other monsters yachts such as Tatoosh ranked 3rd in the World in 2003.

Octopus cost Allen over US$200 million and has Permanent crew of 60, including several former Navy Seals.
It has two helicopters, seven boats, a 10 man submarine and a remote controlled vehicle for crawling on the Ocean floor. The submarine has the capacity to sleep eight for up to two weeks underwater.

On average, owners must spend a minimum of 10 percent of the purchase price every year to keep these yachts in good working condition and cover crew salaries. Therefore “Octopus” which cost Allen US$200 million requires a US $20 million annual budget.

I find it amusing that 1 person owns a boat worth more than some small countries.

Thats old news, much bigger ones than that now. 162m is the current largest, although a 170m will become it when it finishes construction.

Thats nothing, some have boats on the boats, so you can take a decent sized motor yacht for a quick trip around the bays and then come back to your superyacht.

Personally Id settle for an 85m Wallypower Gigayacht.
