Inside Paul Allen’s Former Yacht on Sale for $90 Million

The estate of the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen is offering the sale of his 303-foot-long superyacht , Tatoosh , for a cool $90 million, according to Dirt . If you’re thinking those stats aren’t impressive enough for the billionaire and tech magnate , well, you’d be right. Tatoosh , which is currently the 60th largest yacht worldwide, was just Allen’s secondary vessel. His main yacht, Octopus , sold last year for $325 million and stretches 414 feet long, making it the 20th largest yacht in the world.

As for Tatoosh , the recently-listed vessel was custom-built by German shipyard Nobiskrug in 2000 for fellow American tech mogul Craig McCaw before being bought by Allen the following year for an estimated $100 million. The craft was put up for sale shortly after Allen’s death in 2018, but was taken off the market for an extensive refitting that was completed last year.

Inside the vessel, 11 staterooms can accommodate up to 19 guests with access to a lengthy list of lavish amenities that includes a heated swimming pool with a hydraulic-powered mosaic floor that can raise and lower, a parquet floor salon complete with a limestone fireplace and a bar, a movie theater adorned in red velvet, a beauty salon, a gym, two helicopter pads, a sunbathing and diving area decked out with a blue-tiled spa, bulletproof windows, a fleet of jet skis, multiple 43-foot tenders, and a crew of 31 to oversee it all. The owner’s quarters include a private deck, two dressing rooms, and an observation lounge with a private galley, all spanning across two of the ship’s five decks, which are all accessible via elevator.

To maintain and staff the superyacht, which will be one of the largest yachts on display during the Monaco Yacht Show later this month, potential new owners will have to be prepared to pay $9 to $10 million per year in addition to the hefty price tag. Tatoosh is being represented by the Monaco-based yachting company Fraser.

Built by the German shipyard Nobiskrug, the yacht comes equipped with 11 staterooms that can hold 19 guests, with room enough for 31 crew members. Along with five decks, two helipads and a jetted, heated pool, you’ll also find a host of more lavish amenities. (Yes, it can get even more lavish than that.) The pool can transform into a dance floor; you can watch movies in the on-board cinema; and there’s a beach club, a dive center and a beauty salon. Honestly, you’ll have little reason to ever disembark.

Allen, who was the world’s 27th-richest man at the time of his death in 2018, named the yacht after a wilderness area near his hometown of Seattle. The ship was just one of the assets contributing to his $26 billion fortune. His estate is now working to offload some of those assets, and it’s so far sold more than $350 million worth of property, according to Bloomberg. To add to that, in November, Christie’s New York will sell Allen’s 150-plus piece art collection, estimated to be worth about $1 billion.

As for the show-stopping yacht, Tatoosh , which has a range of 6,855 nautical miles and can hit 16 knots at maximum speed, is being co-listed by Fraser Yachts and Burgess. If you’ve got an extra $90 mil lying around, now’s your chance to sail the high seas in jaw-dropping luxury.

TATOOSH Yacht – The Impressive $110M Superyacht

Built with state-of-the-art technology, the TATOOSH yacht.

A model of understated luxury, its length is 92 meters and boasts a total of 26 cabins including an owner’s full-beam stateroom and adjoining apartment complex.

TATOOSH yacht interior

The interior of TATOOSH was designed by Terence Disdale , responsible for designing more than 100 yachts in his extraordinary 40-year career.

Known for his originality and flamboyant personality, he designed the yacht to accommodate 20 guests including the owner’s suite that features a comfortable observation lounge with a private gallery and a large secluded deck. 

His “beach house not penthouse” style is exhibited in the superyacht’s design which is complete with a heated swimming pool on the main deck, beach club, dive center, cinema, and elevator covering all decks. 

Specifications

TATOOSH has a total of 92 meters (303 ft) with a beam of 14.95 meters, a draft measuring 5.16 meters, and a volume of 3,229 GT.

She has two Deutz engines that can power her at 19 knots top speed, an 18-knot cruising speed, and more than six thousand nautical miles range before needing to refuel again.

The TATOOSH yacht features an exterior design by Kusch Yachts and has a steel hull and aluminum superstructure.

With an overall length of 303 feet, it is listed as the 88th largest yacht in the world and equipped with stabilizers for a smoother cruise and two helicopter pads – one for the ship’s own helicopter and another for guests’ aircraft.

Being a superyacht, she carries a helicopter, a sailboat, several other boats, large tenders, and toys.

The TATOOSH yacht was built for the mobile phone magnate Craig McCaw but was purchased it in 2001 for a reported US $110 million.

However, the ship’s crew claim that the boat’s mooring position was “explicitly directed” by the local port authority and they were only following the instructions.

Inside Paul Allen's $162 Million Yacht Tatoosh, Now Available For Purchase

Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen is selling his 303-foot long yacht, Tatoosh.

Fraser Yachts says the yacht's price is $162 million. (The price varies, though. Gizmodo says it's $158 million, the Seattle Times says it's $172 million.)

What do you get for spending all that money?

You get the world's 26th largest yacht, which can accommodate 24 guests and a crew of 35 according to Fraser Yachts site .

On Wikipedia, we learn the Tatoosh has:

• a master Greg suite, a saloon and other rooms on the top deck
• a saloon with a French limestone fireplace, a dining area, staterooms and a ladies' powder room on the main deck
• a shaded six-foot (max. 1.6 m) deep swimming pool with adjustable floor in depth, located aft on the main deck beneath a full overhang
• a movie theater
• facilities to transport two helicopters on the top two decks
• a custom Hinckley powerboat (about a 40 footer (12 m))
• a Hinckley sailboat of about 40 feet (12 m)
• 5 Sea doo's

Oh yeah, and you get a big weekly bill for upkeep. Paul's other yacht , the 404-foot Octopus, costs him $38,000 each week.

Obviously, making a purchase like this is a big decision, so before you rush in...
