This thing is incredible, it's a yacht and also a research vessel. Has a built in submarine. If I was incredibly wealthy this is what I would live on. Travel the world, explore underwater, throw lavish parties with beautiful women and Hillary. I'm not sure if I would bother owning a house, what would be the point?

I saw a documentary where some researchers used it to find the HMS Hood.

If Paul Allen had a yacht it would be called the Octodick.

Octopus


Because when I think grace and speed in the open waters of the deep blue sea, I think...octopus.

Also, are there eight hot tubs on board? Eight bed rooms? Eight speed boats? Eight casinos? Eight hookers?

Where the frick does the eight come into play?!!!

When you are that rich, shite doesn't have to make sense.

He could have called it the sea-pigeon and it would still be one of the baddest ocean going vessels in existence.

I remember watching it and them showing shots on board the ship and thinking wtf this is the nicest research vessel I've ever seen. I missed the first part where they said what it was and who it belonged to. Did some digging and saw that it was Paul Allen's yacht so it made sense.

I saw one of his other yachts "Tatoosh" last year it was ridiculous. They also destroyed a reef a few days after this photo

Any boat that has a map of an entire continent in it, you know if a beast.

I'm just not sure it has enough boats-within-a-boat for me.





And only two helicopters? Do better, Paul.
