Octopus yacht was built in 2003. When you see the yacht in a dock, you may think it’s kind of a cruise ship, but actually it has always been a privately owned vessel formerly controlled by Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft, and now by his sister, Jody Allen.
The Octopus yacht has seen the whole world and has been in so many places that we’ll need to make a separate video to tell you about its adventures. But today we’ll try to look at the main features of the yacht and find its main problems that must have been found during nearly 20 years of use.
Octopus yacht is 126 meters or 414 feet long. It sits in the 21st place among the longest motor yachts in the world. At the time of launch there were just 2 or 4 boats that could compete in size with this Lurssen’s masterpiece. It cost $200 million back in 2003, that would make around $300 million in today’s money.
Now Octopus is available for sale, and the owner wants around $275 million for the boat. Want to get updated on our new videos? Subscribe to the channel:

"You can't go wherever you want. Captain needs to check thoroughly if there are no [any?] obstacles for the vessel each time you want to change the route."
Ah, yes, checking for obstacles. The same thing _every other boat owner_ should do and every crewed yacht has to do.
😆 when inexperinced youtuber creates video about yacht.
Yes, but this one is likely more restricted due to its size
@@Ragnarill I think you missed the point.
No, what they mean by "too big" is that most marinas don't have a suitable berth, forcing you to anchor off the shore and use tenders to go to/from land. And as a result you also can't use shore power and must therefore run your generators 24/7/365.

A yacht that size is highly unlikely to use shore power any way. Even your 45m yachts use generators at port.
This type of yacht only dock for refuelling or maintenance if needed.
Most large port even cater huge cruiseships.
@@grondhero Even Nimitz Class carriers use shore power in port.
people dont get the fact that it is made for arctic exploration. This vessel has been built to ice-class 1A standard. This is an antarctic exploration vessel
I've always thought the look of Octopus is spoilt by the tower on the front of the yacht.
Octopus is super yacht loyalty.
I think it's beautiful and it's amazingly maneuverable, I watched a video of it being docked on the Thames in London... so smooth.
"We have to admit that it's not that luxurious as you could expect it to be." _Six seconds later._ "The main aspect when creating the yacht was comfort of every guest. So the Lursen designers and engineers made sure that every person has enough space and feels good when on the yacht." I mean, that's pretty much the *definition of luxury.* You probably meant *opulent.*
The point of this vessel is exploration in antarctic. This vessel is built to ice class specification with an ice class hull 1A. This is what it is built for. So its perfect for its purpose.
When I saw a Michael Jordan’s yacht sitting around 10 million bucks, I realized there’s really no need to do this unless you’re just on creative mode type wealth. I think it’s great because I love exorbitance. But I’m good on a 40-55M max. If I went for anything larger it would be for extended range, storage, galley and crew accommodations.
I believe she was sold earlier this year. Lucky owner I think. Octopus is admired wherever she goes.

I'm pretty sure it's still up for sale
Have any idea by Whom?
For that price I would buy The Ulysses
No it wasn’t sold.
@6:35 "...If you know Paul Allen...."
Paul Allen is dead. 🙄
Great video, would love to speak about a documentary we're working on. What's the best way to get in touch?
3:50. Helicopter parked in the water…….. Not a good sign.
Thanks for pointing that out i hadn't seen it. Did you notice at 3.38 the maker of this video shows a completely different boat.
can you create a video about Bering Yachts?
275? Why the hell would I buy a 20 year old yacht for that kind of money when I can just take my 275 milli and buy next gen yacht technology!
Be sure to mention the SSL recording studio.
Bloom & Voss is owned by Lurssen :)
Did the Helicopter crash @ 3:48 ???
yes there was a reported crash (water landing) of one of the two heli.. report claim only minor injury to one of the pilot. this happened in Jan 011 if memory serves me well
@@udp1073 Wow, Im surprised they showed the crash! Thanks for the info pal!
@@JulianJohnston919 I think they have to inform authorities of the sovereign water where it happened (iirc it was in Chile or there about but I may be wrong) and then the news became mainstream (it was Paul Allen after all).. I found the info at Reuters.. you are welcome mate! take care
good eye
Another stolen video, really you can't film your own?
Why not sell it to a James Bond villain? Okay, the Liparus was way bigger, but the Octopus should have enough space to hide a ☢️ warhead or something similar.
this has been sold
For me it would be to big from the standpoint that I would feel lost. I would not be comfortable on the yacht. I know people think that Marina mooring and it's draft are problems and I agree. But I think Paul Allen may have felt like I do. It is not on a human scale. For me nothing bigger that 40m.
Some people have larger scale then others. Allen helped make trillion dollar company, i suspect his scale was a bit larger then yours.
@@andrisbig7710 2 trillion!!!
Just a nice 65 Trawler. Go anywhere. Thank you!
Why would someone want to refit a yacht that they are putting up for sale? Wouldn't the new owner want the yacht to be to their taste and rather do the refit themselves? Also, why invest the money and wait for it to be sold?
8 - ... "ГЕНЕРАТОРІВ?!?!?..."!?...
What a waste of money
What’s bad? This video I guess
Too big. I love yachts but I would never want this. Sometimes you go so big it actually becomes more of a headache to own than a joy. Also it must burn a horrendous amount of money. Nah. No thanks. Even if I had the money I wouldn't want it. I aspire for one but not this size.
17 million dollar a year to operate
@@lovesheidi Unconscionable. It's just so pointless.
That's why being poor suck!
i feel your pain as im in the same boat
It’s such an ugly, outdated yacht by any standard post-2010.
