Paul Allen's Yachts

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.

Download The Octopus Powerpoint Presentation Here. This file is a 3.3mb file size, complete with nearly 50 slides of this awesome yacht. In order to see the file you must have powerpoint on your computer.

If the file doesn't load it probably means that we have exceeded the allowable bandwidth for the month, sorry, these are popular files.

And just in case the above doesn't give you the right idea, click here to download the Powerpoint presentation of Roman Abromavich's two yachts, M/Y Pelorus and M/Y Le Grand Bleu. Again, in order to see the file you must have powerpoint on your computer.

If the file doesn't load it probably means that we have exceeded the allowable bandwidth for the month, sorry, these are popular files.

My thanks to Vinny Pedley for sending me these files. We both hope you enjoy them.
