It is Paul Allen's (Microsoft billionaire) 127m "Octopus", the world's largest yacht. Octopus cost Allen over US$200 million and has a permanent crew of 60, including several former Navy Seals. It has two helicopters, seven boats, a 10 man submarine and a remote controlled vehicle for crawling on the ocean floor. The submarine has the capacity to sleep eight for up to two weeks underwater. It is registered here in Cayman - no doubt for tax reasons.
