One of the largest and most spectacular examples of a full-fledged yachting and exploration vessel, 126-meter Octopus is equipped with highly sophisticated technology. Espen Øino International designed the striking exterior with a blue and white hull and superstructure, featuring two helipads and a hangar aft. The superyacht is capable of exploration and scientific research voyages requiring months at sea. One of her key features is an integrated dock for both the principal 20-meter guest tender and two submarines for exploring marine life, one of which is remotely controlled for reaching greater depths. Octopus also houses a professional music studio and a grandiose cinema, created by interior designer Jonathan Quinn Barnett.

OCTOPUS Lurssen | From US$ 2,200,000 /wk
Luxury explorer yacht OCTOPUS was built by Lurssen in 2003 with naval architecture from Espen Øino and interiors created by Jonathan Quinn Barnett. Originally constructed for private expeditions she was refitted, making her suitable for charter, in 2021 with further work in 2024. She is one of the most capable and stunning mega yachts in the world with a fascinating legacy, having travelled the globe hosting rock stars, scientific research teams and explorers in search of shipwrecks and maritime artefacts. With 13 staterooms and 45 crew members, there is nothing she can’t do and nowhere she can’t go.
NOTABLE FEATURES OF OCTOPUS: ~Two helidecks ~Heated 7m freshwater pool and jacuzzi ~Private owner’s deck with jacuzzi ~15-seater cinema ~Fully equipped gym and spa ~7 tenders including limousine ~Extensive collection of water toys ~Beach and diving club ~Medical centre ~Elevator ~12,500 nautical mile range ~Stabilisers at anchor and underway ~Air conditioning ~WiFi
EXTERIOR The ice-class hull and eight towering decks put OCTOPUS firmly in the mega explorer yacht category and with her deep blue hull, gleaming white superstructure and vast floodable tender and toy garage, she is simply awe inspiring. Guests will either arrive at the stern on board the 9.34m custom Vikal International Limousine tender or onto one of the helidecks – the aft deck is available for commercial use and the foredeck for touch and go. All the deck officers are certified as Helicopter Landing Officers and the deckhands as Helideck Assistants for emergency use. When the transom door is opened, a two-level 36m long floodable garage is revealed – from here the crew can store, launch and maintain the incredible fleet of tenders and toys. Two fold-out terraces create a beach club with a hot-tub on the starboard side and a fully registered and equipped dive centre on the port side.
Deck 6 – the bridge deck – is the main exterior guest terrace where a fabulous 7m freshwater swimming pool is accompanied by a large semi-circular custom jacuzzi. When it is time to party, the glass retractable floor of the pool raises flush with the deck level to transform the deck into a huge entertainment terrace. A beautiful 12-seater dining table sits overlooking the pool with two additional 6-seater tables which can be arranged flexibly to suit any group. A full sit up bar, three separate lounge areas and sunbeds complete the furnishings available on this level. The chefs can prepare al fresco meals in the industrial pizza/baker’s oven, on the huge outdoor grill or the built-in tandoori oven. The deck is equipped with state-of-the-art AV equipment which includes a sound system, flood lights and disco lights. The top deck is dedicated to the owner’s penthouse apartment which includes its own private decks forward and aft. Aft is an intimate dining terrace with 6-seater table and two corner sofas while forward is a beautifully appointed area with a jacuzzi, lounge and sit up bar.
INTERIOR Once inside it is clear to see how Jonathan Quinn Barnett’s interior design has endured with only some minor layout alterations and décor upgrades from Monk Design in 2021. The original design included a fully-equipped recording studio – where greats such as U2 and Mick Jagger have recorded. Now the studio, in its prime position aft on the bridge deck, has been converted into modern bar and lounge. The vocal booth is now a DJ booth, a collection of guitars still adorns the walls, and the grand piano takes pride of place. Retaining the soundproofing makes the studio lounge into a perfect place for a party – plus it leads out onto the bridge deck aft to create one huge entertainment space. Deck 5 is the main interior entertainment deck where guests can enjoy a range of activities from gym sessions and beauty treatments to dinner and drinks or even a movie in the state-of-the-art 15-seater movie theatre – 5 of the seats have D Box vibration to elevate the experience further. Forward of the central staircase is a gentleman’s library and lounge with fireplace, a chess table opening to the 'Musashi' wine bar and impressive observation lounge/dining area with two circular tables able to each accommodate six guests with panoramic views forward. The ‘Musashi’ wine bar is named after the 2015 research expedition on board when the WW2 warship Musashi was discovered. The well-equipped gym leads into a dedicated juice bar, perfect for refuelling after a workout.

OCTOPUS Enquiry
"I once had a client who told me, “I will put your name on the side of my boat if it’s good, but if the boat is not good, your name will appear three times as big.” We were brought up with the sense that it is a very personal obligation for the family when we sign a contract to deliver a yacht that the client expects. I cannot go to a client and say “One of my guys made a mistake.” He would say “Is he Mr. Lürssen, or are you Mr. Lürssen?” But a successful delivery is also a great reward. I take the relationships of my clients very personally." - Peter Lürssen of Lürssen Yachts (courtesy SuperYachtTimes)

Commissioned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, M/Y Octopus was the largest private yacht ever when it launched in 2003. Today, she remains one of the largest private yachts in the world. Her size, however, is surpassed by the scale of her ambitions. Allen himself famously described her as “less a Bentley than a Range Rover,” because of the state-of-the-art equipment on board.
Now, her 2021 refit preserves her expedition bona fides. She boasts an ice class for polar exploring; two helipads and two helicopter garages. In her garage are 7 tenders including her powerful 54’ Delta ‘tender.’ Discover a fleet of boards, from wake and surfboards, to wind and kite surfers, even electric foil flight boards, for personal forays. And with a glass-bottom observation lounge, and a fully equipped dive center, including an ROV, make the undersea part of every expedition. Her beautiful interiors and superb amenities, with accommodations for up to 12 guests, dial up the quality of life aboard. A stylish new Beach Club opens to the sea. The bridge deck features a heated freshwater swimming pool with a retractable glass floor that raises to deck level for entertaining. Adjacent is a bar, spa pool and an open-air pizza oven.
The Octopus yacht has ranged widely. And now under private charter, she will explore the four corners of the world again.

The most innovative superyacht tender garages
Almost every luxury yacht carries a tender of some sort, but how they carry them separates the run-of-the-mill from the truly exceptional. Take a look at some of the finest examples from around the world, starting with Lady Fleur 's award-winning float-in tender garage and swimming pool...
The owners of Lady Fleur had big plans for their next build, challenging the design team to fit a float-in tender garage and a swimming pool for their grandchildren on a yacht that is just 35 metres in length. The task fell to Bernd Weel Design and Holterman Shipyard and came to fruition on the first X-Treme Yachts X-105 model. The engineering allows this monohull to temporarily become a catamaran, at least for the aft third of the yacht. By splitting the engine room into two watertight sections and building a compartment between them, the aft centre section of the hull then lowers to allow the tender to float out or in. With the tender launched, the bay fills with seawater and rises to become a safe and secure 11-metre swimming pool that sits flush with the deck. Demonstrations created traffic jams at the Cannes Yachting Festival and the feature earned Lady Fleur two gongs at the BOAT International Design & Innovation Awards in 2023.
Nebula is the largest support vessel delivered by Astilleros Armón and Incat Crowther to date, conceived as a carrier for toys, tenders and crew. Below the helideck is the tender garage that houses a 12.3-metre custom catamaran, which designer Kirsten Schwalgien playfully calls "shadow kitten", as well as two RIBs and four Jet Skis. Beam cranes with 11-tonne lifting capacity slide the tenders out over the water for launch, and when the boat is hoisted on Nebula ’s deck the top hydraulically lowers to reduce its height to three metres. Other toys include a full-size helicopter hangar onboard for an Airbus H145. As the largest found onboard any private vessel, it allows the twin-engine rotorcraft to slide in without folding its five blades and provides cover for the tender garage below.
Aviva was built in Germany by Abeking & Rasmussen and delivered in 2017. At 98.4 metres, her interior was styled by British designer design house RWD and was the winner of the Best Lifestyle Feature at the Boat International Design & Innovation Awards in 2018 for her impressive Padel Tennis court (which the vessel was built around). Not the only impressive feature onboard, Aviva also houses a customised 14-metre Hunton XRS43 tender which is launched from a cradle in the garage via tracks over the bathing platform. Perfect for challenging seas, as the tender can follow behind and be lifted up as the yacht moves along.
Built to explore, Octopus has an incredible fleet that revolves around the cavernous two-storey 36-metre internal wet dock where the two main tenders are stored and launched through a giant transom door. Functioning as its own marina, the floodable dock is flanked by rows of smaller garages to store the entire toy inventory, which includes a 9.3-metre custom Vikal limousine and two 8.7-metre custom Zodiacs, one for diving, the other for guests. Two 5.8-metre Zodiac Milpro MK-V are also available for watersports, as is an array of WaveRunners, jet skis, kayaks, surfboards, wakeboards, kitesurfers, windsurfers and electric foil Fliteboards. An 18-metre Delta 54, 13-metre Hinckley, and a new Triton 3300/6 submersible complete the fleet.
Panam can accommodate a 5.5-metre tender in a garage transversally fitted aft of the engine room. Partially floodable, the lower edge of the garage’s side shell door lies below the waterline allowing for ease when launching and retrieving the tender. Baglietto designed the garage so that it can fill with seawater before the shell door opens and immediately drains when the retrieving operation is complete and the door is closed. The tender is towed inside by a winch and balancing cradle and essentially enters the garage floating, allowing for a simple, safe and fast embark.
The first Wider 165, launched as Cecilia , took what Wider had achieved with the Wider 150 and amped it up. The new flagship of the fleet has a float-in tender garage big enough to house an eight-metre tender and a three-person U-Boat Worx submarine (complete with a Jules Verne-esque manipulator hand, which clutched a bottle of Bollinger as she made her debut at the Monaco Yacht Show). The submersible slides out on a sophisticated crane installed overhead. On Cecilia , with the space flooded, both vehicles out and the aft end closed up, the tender bay becomes a saltwater pool, while broad swathes of superstructure fold down either side to open up the space and supplement the sunbathing area on the long stern platform.
Delivered as J'ade , the 58.2-metre CRN superyacht features a transverse float-in tender dock designed specifically for an 8.24-metre Riva Iseo and is accessed from the water through a shell door to the port. The dock takes up almost the entire cross-section of the hull and contains around 5,000 gallons of water that can be pumped out in less than three minutes. To achieve this, the engineers at CRN modified the existing naval platform used for the shipyard's 60-metre vessels and a study of the compartment’s effect on the ship’s trim had to be made to meet the classification requirements. The classic powerboat fits perfectly into the floodable garage and includes a tub to protect from damage and underwater lights for visibility and dramatic effect.
Sanlorenzo 's first 52 Steel, Seven Sins , packs a number of premium features to match her impressive size. Chief among these is a float-in tender garage that transforms into a beach club. Water is pumped into the tender bay and once full, the transom is opened and the tender slips out. Terraces open to port and starboard, while a teak-soled section lowers from overhead, creating a large beach club with light filtering down from the glass bottom of the pool above. “It’s a lot of technical aspects in a reduced area,” says project manager Luca Ghirlanda, reeling off the challenges that had architects poring over plans and gangs of engineers crawling over the space. “The docking tender garage, the opening platform, the opening transom door, the swimming pool with 12 tonnes of water on top of glass... and the up and down floor level.”
