Watched on Wednesday as the Octopus departed Port Vauban in Antibes, very impressive.
plicker Jean and Jerry (2 years ago)

On board Queen Victoria in Malaga the Octopus was berthed close by. Very impressive,particularly when helicopter passed from yacht passed close by.
Quite a talking point at dinner that night.
plicker Anita & Joanne (2 years ago)
We have seen it today docked in Malaga Port, it has been there for a couple of days. Fantastic! Guests onboard left via helecopter and he returned to the boat by tender. There was no security and we were able to stand next to the yacht to watch, fantastic!!

Notes:
 
Slide 1: The Worlds Largest Privately Owned Yacht “Octopus” In 2003, the launch of Paul Allen's 127m (416ft) "Octopus" secured its number one position as the world's largest yacht. Microsoft's "accidental billionaire" Paul Allen - worth US$20 billion according to Forbes, the third richest man in America and 7th in the world - owns two other monsters yachts such as Tatoosh ranked 3rd in the World in 2003. Octopus cost Allen over US$200 million and has 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. On average, owners must spend a minimum of 10 percent of the purchase price every year to keep these yachts in good working condition and cover crew salaries. Therefore “Octopus” which cost Allen US$200 million requires a US$20 million annual budget.
