Inside The $325 Million Octopus Yacht

Inside The $325 Million Octopus Yacht
Today, we will be taking a look at the top-of-the-line luxury octopus yacht. The octopus yacht is a blend of luxury and power. This 414-foot yacht has a complete luxury villa vibe. Jonathan Quinn Barnett, an American designer, designed the interior. While Espen Naval Architects designed the exterior. The owner of the Octopus yacht has a dedicated deck to enjoy all kinds of luxury, which is super-efficient if someone wants to spend some time alone. A deck consists of a large study room, a walk-in closet and an outside bar with a dedicated whirlpool to enjoy the view.
This is just the owner's part; the exciting part is yet to come. The Octopus yacht has a lot more than you can imagine. A yacht this big cannot just contain the owner. It can handle 26 guests and a 60 member crew onboard to manage the yacht and keep it running. It means there are exactly two-member crews for a single guest on board.
The Octopus yacht even has a cinema room and a basketball court. We were not wrong when we said it has a luxury villa vibe. Other features include a gym, hair salon and an observation lounge.
Last but not least, the octopus yacht contains a glass-bottom lounge that is transparent. You can see all the ocean wonders down from there.
Octopus yacht is packed with a music recording studio in which Allen, the owner of Octopus Superyacht, played the guitar and his friend Jimi Hendrix played at Woodstock. Allen also rented out the entire recording studio to Mick Jagger while recording an album with SuperHeavy in 2011.
A superyacht is called "super" for a reason. It has eight outdoor decks, including the owner's deck, and each of them serves a different purpose. Most of the decks are used for scientific research and exploration during the trip. It brings out the best in the trip for those people who are explorers.
On the upper deck of the yacht, there is a huge beachside pool. It is best suited for parties. Not only this but there are Jacuzzis built on different decks of the yacht to give off a proper luxury feel to the guests.
There is plenty of room for outdoor entertainment on the bridge below on the deck. The pool is located along with al fresco dining, a bar and a pizza oven. Below the bridge deck is a deck especially made for entertainment, where guests can enjoy a range of facilities, including a spa, library, cinema, gym and a basketball court.
What makes the octopus yacht a spectacle apart from the massive size is a large hangar, two helipads, and a twin pad. The large helicopter hangar is built on the main deck, giving shelter to two helicopters. The yacht also has a floatable boat in the hatch used to bring people to the deck. The submarine and the main tender known as the man of war are the two luxuries of its own.
If you are bored on the deck, you can explore more by going deep 1000 feet into the sea to have a Me time. The submarine known as Pagoo is remotely operated and can dive for up to 8 hours.
Octopus yacht was a luxury of its own built for a good time. Paul Allen hosted a party at his yacht after the Cannes international film festival in France, which actors, filmmakers and supermodels attended. Many notable actors such as John C. Reilly, Kelly Rutherford were present at this party.
Now that we have talked about the interior of the superyacht, what good is there if it is not packed with a powerful engine? A superyacht contains a super powerful engine to power it.
Two-hybrid ABB industry AG E-Motors power the octopus yacht. It can reach a top speed of 19 knots when on the go. It has a transoceanic range of 12,500 nautical miles when cruising at 12 knots. Octopus yacht goes through periodic maintenance, with her last refit completed in 2019. Paul Allen was an oceanic explorer himself, and this yacht was the perfect fit for him, considering it can go beyond the continents in one go thanks to the powerful engine, which allow the octopus yacht to travel 12500 nautical miles.
The octopus yacht was not built in a flash of time. It took a whopping three years. It was built in steel by the german builders Yard Lurssen and delivered in 2003. With the interior and exteriors designed by the world's renowned designers, the octopus yacht is one of the most expensive explorer yachts in the world.
Measuring a massive size of 414-foot, the superyacht weighs about 9000 tons with eight diesel engines installed. As we all know, Paul Allen had a craze for exploration, and little do we know that if he were not into ocean exploration, this yacht would not have existed.
