Here’s the second of the three yachts on our list that are owned by Paul Allen (see no. 2). Just like Octopus, Tatoosh has been keeping a busy itinerary over the past year. This five-decker spent time in Victoria, British Columbia, in September 2003, before moving on to Portland, Oregon, in October for a party honoring the Portland Trail Blazers, which Allen owns. Bora Bora and Moorea were next in February, then it was the Mediterranean in May, this time to entertain celebs during the Cannes Film Festival. In July the yacht was docked at the Broadway Pier in San Diego, causing quite a stir among the locals; the San Diego Reader wrote about her, reporting that a lobster tank was among the yacht’s features. While that would indeed be an interesting feature, we think it’s more notable that the yacht is capable of toting two helicopters (one on the top deck, the other on the deck directly below), a custom Hinckley powerboat in the 40-foot range, and a sailboat of about the same size. She’s additionally equipped with a shaded swimming pool and a private cinema. The yacht gets her name from an island marking the entrance to the San Juan Straits in Washington State.
