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.

When it's docked in Portland, it still can't get Blazer games on LeaguePass, though.

Funny line.

A crew of 30 for 20 passengers?? I wonder how many of the crew are of the female pursuasion.

A yacht that big, and you have to have something like a 3-section rotation for piloting and the engine room. Maybe it's only 2 in the pilot house and 2 for the engineroom, but now you're at 12 before getting to a single person that actually serves any of the passengers (cooks, valets, etc.)

And yes, I bet many of the servers are of the female persuasion.

One word,

"Bailout!"

It's just not fair PA has to sell his smallest yacht. None of the wall street bankers have had to sell their yachts.

 

[BrianFromWA]

to be fair, PA's been burning through money for 20 years. Wall Street just got into this game.

Agreed.

He's to big to fail.

Then how about a "Cash for Clunkers" program for yachts?

We could have the 1st Annual HCP "Meat & Greet" on that bitch!

Sweet. That should be enough to lock up Oden and Batum . . . and pay the luxury tax.

Good call Allen . . . sell that boat.
