I remember Octopus well- gorgeous!! She dropped by to visit Bermuda while I was living there. My cottage was on the water right next to White's Island in Hamilton Harbour. Octopus was anchored just off White's Island and across from the Royal Bermuda Yacht club. One weekend I took my sea kayak out to paddle around Octopus. I guess I got a little close to the open integrated dock, and two jet skis piloted by ex-navy seals (Octopus security) came to have a chat. Very polite guys, but they were completely unmoved by my pleas for a tour! :) Living inside Hamilton Harbour, with my patio overlooking the water, I saw more than a few super/giga yachts anchor barely a stones throw away from me, but Octopus was completely unique- my favorite part of her is that she looks functional, like she can do something beyond just sitting at anchor in Monaco.
I'm in no position to even speculate which super yacht I would own. Love your channel and the way you present these wonderful floating works of art with their engineering marvels.
I stayed in a hotel on Ibiza harbour and watched the amazing Kismet (No. 4 in this video) being docked. It took about an hour to manoeuvre it into position. It has a 60ft support boat which clears its path and accommodates some of the crew members. It was fascinating to watch a Range Rover Sport negotiating its way out of a small hatch and down a precarious looking ramp and into dock. Anyway, the reason I'm posting is that I witnessed a family disembarking the yacht and I cannot say they looked happy. Transversely, those families I saw on 35 to 65 foot boats seemed delirious - intoxicated by sunshine and the excitement and freedom of life on the sea. As spectacular as these mega-yachts are, I think they miss the point of boating - which is to have fun.
Lady Moura without a doubt. In every shot of Monte Carlo and the harbor there she is at her permanent berth. She is the good life personified!! I still love her unique design and find it aging extremely well. And the build is of such pedigree. I also adore Valerie. That private top deck pool is EVERYTHING!!
I absolutely love M/Y Ace. For a lot of reasons. Owner's suite to the aft rather than forward for one thing. but the big one for me? The care given to the crew space. huge crew mess on the main deck with big windows and a balcony. second crew lounge area belowdecks. Happy crew, happy you. They work so hard to give the guests/owners the ultimate experience. They deserve a beautiful, non-cramped space to relax in.
OK, so I thought I had a few quid....but you really pissed me off ; ) As ever I enjoy your content. Hope you all enjoy Christmas and Happy New Year : )
A minor correction that could mean a lot to someone from the region, given geo-political animosities: Shahid Khan -- who arrived in the US with literally nothing and became a driving force in auto-body replacement parts (and other industries) -- was born in Lahore, Pakistan, not India.

@@Puzzoozoo Yes it doesn’t come cheap but it shouldn’t come at ridicolous prices either. The reason why yachts are so expensive is because they can charge that much.
The estate is probably paying $1-$2million a month in expenses just to keep her in top shape for sale. the cost of these boats is not the asking price - it's the running costs. I'll bet Octopus has an enormous running cost with fuel and crew.
I’m gonna say Kismet. Simply because I just like her lines. That’s all. Oh I almost forgot, thanks for the vid, I enjoyed it. All the best for 2021 mate 👍
If I had billions, I would buy both Octopus and Luminosity. Octopus for arctic adventures since it has an ice rating and Luminosity for sunny beach locations like the med, Bahamas, Maldives and Thailand. Can you imagine sitting on the deck of Octopus sipping Irish coffee while watching the aurora borealis.
Would have loved to see more of the interiors. That is more important than exterior on a yacht. To me, the "seven sins" is still my favorite yacht, though it is much snakker and cheaper than these.
How the f*** did you find a stock image of a winking Jaguar!? Okay, now that that's out of my system: I'd buy Octopus in a heartbeat and live aboard until I die. Do you find any of the others aesthetically awesome? I also wonder, from a captain's perspective, how embarrassing it would be to run AGROUND at Cannes?
@@ambushpredator7629 I gotta admit, they all beat my apartment by x 1,000,000. But I don't know about that Ukrainian guy's that looks like a Victorian whorehouse inside. I think there'd be a trail of expensive decorative objects on the sea floor behind us. And I'd eventually start throwing buckets of beige paint around. You know, just so I can go inside without having a psychotic break.
The Octopus is 17 years old! Wow! She is still a Wanderer Beauty! I'm going to purchase the Flying Fox and turn her into an asset during these Challenging Times.
Ace (Little Penthouse), Barbara (Luxury Cottage), Kismet (Elegant Mansion), Luminosity (High Rise Penthouse/ Office), Amadea another (Penthouse Mansion), Octopus (Explorer yacht with all of the toys) All of them I mean they just brought their asking price down to an affordable amount. Might as well splurge a little.
I’m head of acquisitions for my buyer so watch these being sold starting w Octopus and 3 more. Thank you for posting. Our sovereign trust is ready to buy!
Octopus suits my fancy just fine. I'm a go anywhere anytime type of guy. She has beautiful rugged lines and plenty of toys. I would certainly invite you along to document the adventures. *we would need to fashion some sort of sling system to load and unload the fleet of Porsches on the quest of the perfect driving road. Keep up the great videos and Happy Holidays.
I’m a South-FL based S/Y Coatings Expert and I am looking forward to doing a paint survey on at least one of these beauts. 😍 Btw, great content sir, keep the vids coming.
Definitely the Octopus.Paul Allen got to live an incredible life and fulfill dreams that most of us cannot even imagine . It’s just too bad his money couldn’t find a cure for his cancer
Once again very informative video, hopefully your having a great Christmas break! Some of us are working to save enough money to pay for our phone so I can watch your UA-cam videos 🤓 there’s some sketchy billionaires there too mentioned, beautiful yachts though super high end luxury, I would be happy just to own the tender 😂😂😂👍🏻💦⚓️have a wonderful new year and keep up the great work
They are all good ships...for me, I like Luminosity. She has a hybrid power design and can cruise anywhere in the world. She has tasteful rooms and furnishing. I would make a few changes to suit my tastes and all would be super :)
Even if I bought Octopus, the crew at the wharf would take one look at me & wouldn't let me on board. Hey, I'm the owner, "F' Off, Wallmart is down the street."
@@YachtReport AUTHOR - WHAT LOGIC DID YOU USE TO DISTRIBUTE THE PLACES ? RUSSIAN BUSINESSMEN HAVE BIGGER AND MORE EXPENSIVE YACHTS THAN OCTOPUS. YACHT TIS, YACHT DILBAR, YACHT OCEAN VICTORIA, ECLIPSE AND SO ON.. 🤦 ️
Are they for sale in 2021 or did you completely miss the whole reason of the video? Suggestion, stop drinking so much Vodka, and relax, I’m sure those Russian businessmen aren’t making up for lack of size in their pants. 😂
hi eSysman. I had a question about Octopus for long. What you think about its price considering its age? I know it's your favorite yacht but even after price reduction don't you think it's overpriced? ps
It's not her age, it's her size and confirmation. She's truly an exploration yacht and a true ship. She can't dock in the harbors which generally appeal to the "yachting" community. If she docks, it's at the cruise ship berths. Even Paul Allen owned other, smaller yachts. She's a yacht for someone who already has a smaller yacht to do the chic-Med/Caribbean cruise bit with and wants to do serious ocean exploration. That market is very, very small.
i share your love of OCTOPUS But my favourite is KISMET ...... considering the cost of octopus i would buy KISMET & ACE and still have enough cash for a few cases of beer .... cheers lol
I've said it before on your channel, M/Y Amadea is still my favorite. Maybe it's that Imperial Star destroyer look, but there is something about her lines that does it for me. Then M/Y Octopus followed by M/Y Kismet on this list. Add M/Y Luna and M/Y Flying Fox. And you have my personal top 5.
Octopus would be my first choice to buy. Amadea would be a close second. If I bought Octopus I would have to bring you aboard. I'd find something for you to do. Maybe the electronic systems. Or super secret cool stuff.
Great video. Like the quick facts. Maybe you’ve been asked this but what job did you do on a boat. You sound like engineering but thought I’d ask. Great vids.
Thank u very much, for this video mega yacht experience. I think in the future we will se more Hybrid and full electrical boats and yachts. I prefer the SILENT 80 solar and full electrical yacht.
I love Ace. Her interior design in exquisite
Check out Fraser's walk-through video of her. Pay attention to her staircases.
Octopus by a mile. In addition to her history, she has timeless elegance. Too many other yachts look like floating running shoes.
Yepp, seems like the only one you could do something useful with. I'd go look for MH370 with it.
Agree and purpose build with equipment for something much more interesting and meaningful than to just impress.
I’ll give you 2 Bitcoin for her
Agree, let’s go halvies? 😂
Nah, she looks like a commercial ship.

How do you know that?

Now that’s a Christmas Wish List! Thanks for another video. Have a Merry Christmas.
Luminosity is my favorite one, also the greenest. In love already.
And, the 'running shoe' reference below was spot-on ! lol
I wouldn't be bashful at all, any one of them I'd love to own, tour, stare at !!!! BRAVO AND WELL DONE !!! They are all beautiful.
Lady Moura without a doubt. In every shot of Monte Carlo and the harbor there she is at her permanent berth. She is the good life personified!! I still love her unique design and find it aging extremely well. And the build is of such pedigree. I also adore Valerie. That private top deck pool is EVERYTHING!!
I do really appreciate the imperial battle cruisers that Lurssen makes for our overlords. But I'm a simple man. I want octopus and I want it now.

Hope you all enjoy Christmas and Happy New Year : )
i was blown away by the fact that octopus has a hanger for 2 helicopter and still have room for a submarin and large tender
Yes but it has to cut some corners to make space. For example there is no on-board Poundland.
@@darthkek1953 gutted. ☹️😭
@@ashotofmercury I was literally sick with heartbreak.
ACE would be my choice after watching a walk through video earlier
Yeah, I think I watched the same video as you did. The one from TheYachtGuy Official, maybe??
@@ADE1000SON Probably the official one from Fraiser who is the sale agent. They had a walkthrough with the captain
Love your content! Sophisticated with a hint of humor. It’s perfect.
Thanks
Hi there I'm Caesar I'm from Canada and you
Tranquility and Ace stand out for me! Octopus is a legend but personally for me a bit too big. Great compilation. Keep up the great work!
They are all impressive, but I would purchase the Octopus. I like her research capabilities. Well done. Thank you! 💕
Nicely produced video. No fat, all concise info and good video. Good job!
Octopus, by far, is the best of the list
I adore the teal hull of Luminosity so that is the one I would get.
A minor correction that could mean a lot to someone from the region, given geo-political animosities: Shahid Khan -- who arrived in the US with literally nothing and became a driving force in auto-body replacement parts (and other industries) -- was born in Lahore, Pakistan, not India.
I'm one of your early subscribers. Your work keeps improving. Great channel(s). I look forward to every video. Thank you!
My first choice is Tranquility. Ice class, commercially built. Stunning looks. Great video thanks and Merry Christmas 🎅
The price for Octopus has just been dropped to €235 million. Not that it makes much difference to most of us.
60 million euros off. Just shows what complete bs the asking prices are.
@@williamdrijver4141 Considering you can build commercial ships of that size for 20-30mill, the yacht prices are truly a rip-off.

Love the intro(your name on the yacht)Happy Holidays!
Hi there I'm Caesar I'm from Canada and
I had the pleasure of seeing and walking up to the Lady Moura in Monaco 2012. Quite a sight to see.
What about a video of the top 10 yachts under 50 million !
If I had billions, I would buy both Octopus and Luminosity. Octopus for arctic adventures since it has an ice rating and Luminosity for sunny beach locations like the med, Bahamas, Maldives and Thailand. Can you imagine sitting on the deck of Octopus sipping Irish coffee while watching the aurora borealis.
Top three in order: Octopus, Octopus & Octopus.
You're just so right, right, right.
Yes yes yes
Yesh! Yesh! Yesh!
Ugh ugh ugh
Nah, looks like a commercial ship.
Just a look around or quick ride on one of these would make my day😂👍👍👍quality beasts.
octopus is like the white elephant in the room. i would go with luminosity; attention to detail, artistic design value is crazy.
Would have loved to see more of the interiors. That is more important than exterior on a yacht.
To me, the "seven sins" is still my favorite yacht, though it is much snakker and cheaper than these.
Love the look of Luminosity. It's so pretty at night. I do love Octopus too. 🐙 It does have that wow factor to it.
Octopus for sure!! So many toys! And 2nd would be Luminosity
Great Christmas present, thank you . Luminosity and Octopus, either would be perfect. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. 🎄🎉🍾🎊
Thoroughly enjoyable
Wrll researched. Well done.
Octopus yacht is my favorite yacht but i all so really love the way Amadea looks
Octopus and then Lady Moura . In that order. great video as always.

😂 love it!
I’m head of acquisitions for my buyer so watch these being sold starting w Octopus and 3 more.
Thank you for posting. Our sovereign trust is ready to buy!
Like most viewers, it's got to be Octopus. It's size, history, pedigree and capabilities make it the most attractive and interesting of yachts.
It’s videos like this that remind me that I’m closer to being a millionaire than Jeff Bezos :/
lol so true!
I saw octopus in Greece a few years back it is the biggest boat I have ever seen in my life except a cruise liner.
Looking forward for the amazingly up coming VARD REV
In my dreams octopus nice video's cheers thank's for your information 👍
For the type of lifestyle I would have if I were a billionaire, I would choose Luminosity without any hesitation.
Valerie has my flag on it!!!! woot woot!
Would love to choose just one super mega number 1 yacht to be combination of Luminosity, Amadea, and Octopus. That would be perfect.
A great video, Octopus would be my choice, I have always loved her.
Happy New Year to you. Thanks for wonderful content and videos.
I'm ready to buy the Octopus. Everything is ready, apart from a quarter of a billion Euros short.
I can’t even afford to look at it.
Luminosity is top for me.
BTW awesome video!

I really like Sunrays' colour but Luminosity and its glass facade is just brilliant.
Definitely the Octopus.Paul Allen got to live an incredible life and fulfill dreams that most of us cannot even imagine . It’s just too bad his money couldn’t find a cure for his cancer
I saw Sunrays in person when the f1 came to Jeddah for the first time, such a beauty of a yacht
Great informative Video Thank you
Thanks for aching my heart, they are all wonderful like a dream!
BEAUTIFUL!!! Number 4
I don't even have 32 friends.
Buy a yacht a just watch as 31 people just claim to be your bestest bffs ever
Having 32 'friends' is the easiest part of being a billionaire.
Why do you need 32 friends 🤣
@EuroGuy85 true reminds me of the story of a guy in his 30s and single for most his life won the lottery and now has found love.
The Amedea pool is next level sheeit!
the amadea is just perfect
