For locals and visitors to Cowes, Isle of Wight, the presence of the legendary 126m superyacht, Octopus, is impossible to ignore.
Launched in 2003, this world-renowned superyacht is available to charter if you happen to have a spare €2,200,000 per week. Yes, that is €2,200,000 per week!
Octopus was built by Lurssen Yachts for Microsoft co-founder, Paul Allen, but is now owned by Swedish billionaire, Roger Samuelsson.
Unparalleled luxury, limitless exploration
The Octopus is not merely a floating palace; she is an ode to the audacious spirit. She has an ice-class hull, two helipads and a plethora of exploration toys, including seven tenders and a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) for underwater exploration.
The yacht is so large that she even has her own marina!
Boundless amenities aboard
As you might expect for €2,200,000 per week, the superyacht is dripping in luxury and every corner speaks to the myriad of tastes and preferences of its guests.
Be it the bridge deck’s expansive swimming pool or the cinema and library, the yacht ensures that leisure is always within arm’s reach.
For those whose interest lies beneath the waves, a fully-equipped dive centre and hyperbaric chamber stand ready.
Why is she here?
Quite what the superyacht is doing moored off the Isle of Wight is anyone’s guess, but with the Southampton Boat Show on this week, perhaps that is the answer.
