  • PAUL ALLEN’S YACHT FOR SALE – ‘TATOOSH’ COULD BE YOURS!

    13 May 2010 by Seth Rotherham in Boats, Celebrities, Luxury, Money, Very Cool

    We’ve kept a close eye on Microsoft co-founder, Paul Allen’s two main yachts over the years – both of which have spent time in Cape Town. The first one I ever saw, cruised into Cape Town late August, 2007 (see original article here). It was a good one to see first, as it was, at the time, the second largest privately owned super-yacht in the world (not owned by a head of state!).

    Those who know their yachts, know all about Octopus:

    If you check out the original article you will see some of the pics I took in Cape Town, including a quiet helicopter parked on the back, and a basketball court for the boys. In the same article, I also showcase some other images I found on the net, including pics of the other boats (tenders) that he keeps inside the super yacht. Oh, and a submarine. No spice.

    The second yacht, Tatoosh, also cruised into Cape Town’s harbour – this time towards the end of 2008 (see article here). And that, my friends, is the yacht that is currently on the market for a cool €125,000,000.

    In Rands, you’re looking at around R1.2Billion.

    This is what Luxist tells us:

    Paul Allen shows up on the World’s Largest Yachts lists two times in the top thirty, once with the Octopus at number nine, and again at 26 with the 92.42-meter (303.2-feet) Tatoosh. That latter ship has been put up for sale by Fraser Yachts in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for €125,000,000 ($160,665,483 U.S.). Designed by Kusch Yachts and with an interior by Terence Disdale, the Tatoosh was built in 2001 by HDW Nobiskrug and refitted just this year. There is enough room aboard for 20 guests and 30 crew, a motorboat and helipad, numerous tenders, and all the Microsoft products you will ever own.

    R1.2 Billion? Hmmm…look, it’s quite a bit of dosh, but it’s not bad for what you’re getting.

    Right?

    I mean, the interior was done by Terence Disdale, doll!

    Old Tezza!
