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.

Tatoosh motor yacht underway

Tatoosh: The secrets of Nobiskrug's 92m superyacht

When it comes to adventure, Tatoosh has done it all. Her captains and commissioning owner reveal her secrets to Sam Fortescue

If you don’t recognise Tatoosh from a distance, you probably don’t know yachting.” Captain Richard Hielckert doesn’t mince his words, although it’s a 20-year-old boat he’s talking about. From the 12-metre racing sailing boat she carries as a toy to her classically elegant silhouette and twin helicopters, 92 metre Tatoosh has always stood apart.

But to regard her as old would be a big mistake. Shell doors, a swimming pool, owner apartment, cinema, sauna – Tatoosh is bang up-to-date. “She is a timeless boat that has always been at the forefront,” he continues. “She stands out from the majority of boats that all look the same. There are lots of new boats, but they all look like wedding cakes, with maximum interior on minimum exterior. When those boats sit at anchor, you see them swinging and rolling while Tatoosh is still.”

After a recent massive refit, this iconic yacht is in better shape than she’s ever been in her life, featuring the latest audiovisual system Omniyon by YachtCloud. At the time of writing, she was also for sale, which explains why broker Burgess hooked me up with some of the key people aboard to find out more. It is a rare glimpse inside a boat that has been owned by two of the most successful figures in IT.

Tatoosh ’s story begins in the late 1990s, as her prospective owner’s fortunes rode high on the technology boom. Craig McCaw was in the vanguard of the mobile phone revolution in the US, and his companies sold for billions of dollars to some of the biggest names in telecoms – AT&T and Sprint.

His vision was for a yacht that would provide the ultimate home away from home for his family and a platform for a really ambitious cruising programme with lots of toys. “ Tatoosh should feel gracious like a home and also cosy,” says McCaw as he recounts the trials and tribulations of building her. “She should also feel more beachy than yachty. The philosophy was she should be built around tenders and helicopters.”

Renowned German designer Claus Kusch got the project off the ground. “He was the general contractor who chose how to build her,” recalls Gary Wright, build skipper and project manager for the yacht, and now head of Y.CO. “Claus really was the driving force behind the whole build.” This was in the years before he partnered with the Peters Werft yard and began building on his own account. He selected the booming German yard Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft (HDW) and work began at its smaller Rendsburg site, known as Nobiskrug.

At first Jon Bannenberg was involved, but he and Kusch did not see eye to eye. “This idea of creating curves and lines that are pretty was anathema to Kusch,” says McCaw. “We’d do everything three times until somehow it got right, but it was a continuous war with Jon.”

Helped by Bastiaan Sonneveld and Joost Beekman , Kusch drew the understated lines and exterior design of Tatoosh , as well as her naval architecture below the waterline. Kusch passed away in 2004, after the project was delivered, but he was adamant that the yacht should be built primarily around the requirements of those aboard. “The yacht’s architecture and form develop progressively and conceptually around the functional needs of the guests and crew,”  he said of his design.

What does that mean? Well, Terence Disdale was brought in after Bannenberg to develop a general arrangement that made the best use of the huge 3,229GT of internal volume. And the McCaw family was right at the centre of that plan. They had three young children and wanted their own private space. “After two weeks, the crew and the owner need a little space from each other, so I wanted a galley where I could make some dinner,” says McCaw. “We effectively sectioned it off. The kids could be below with  the parents and the next level could be the  sky lounge with the observation lounge.”

It was a two-storey apartment within the yacht. The owner’s cabin, two big en suites for the children and a galley lay downstairs, with a private lobby upstairs giving access to a huge observation lounge with its own pantry, a gym and the owner’s office. “Terry has a real gift for floor plans,” says McCaw. “While his role was not large, it was seminal.” On his watch, the space allocated to the pool grew, pushing the boat from her original 89 metres out to more than 92 metres. “We ended up stretching Tatoosh because the beach area and the pool got too short.”

The London-based designer is typically modest when it comes to describing his role in the project. “Walls, floors, ceilings, lighting, sockets,” he says, as if he were a glorified handyman. “I did a certain amount of detailing in the bathroom.” In reality, he set the tone for the look and feel of the interior, with its panelled white ceilings, expressive parquet floors and almost architectural use of dado rails and mitred wooden profiles.

“ Tatoosh is rich and refined – yet has an inviting, kick-your-shoes-off casualness that feels absolutely right on a yacht,” he adds. “Every single element of the structure and interior decoration must be considered: absolutely nothing was designed on a whim. The positioning of windows, for instance, is determined by what goes on within; the dining room windows are lined up with the centre of  the dining table.”

Many of the interior fittings were actually selected by American designer Thomas Achille , who had also worked on several of McCaw’s properties. Furnishing is an eclectic mix of vintage, curio and antique – in line with  McCaw’s fondness for buying at auction. You see  vivid, glossy rattan work and Chippendale armchairs; a real stone hearth (complete with poker and tongs) and elegant Georgian occasional tables; campaign-style chairs and lattice-fronted wardrobes.

“At the beginning, we started looking at catalogues to buy antique pieces,” Achille says. “But most of the furniture you see is reproduction. Craig is not one to gravitate towards super luxury glitzy stuff – he’s a very unassuming gentleman. But he is American and loves America. We decided we were going to give him an American home on the ship, and that’s what we did.”

Colours are mostly conservative, neutral – drawn from the natural materials used. Achille really liked to play with texture, though, so there were grass cloth hangings and chenille fabric, leathers and grained wood. There is also a lot of art, curated by McCaw.

On the walls, there are huge flags behind glass – keepsakes from previous adventures – Japanese prints and a host of eye-watering art. “The owners made several visits to auctions and art houses – they were big collectors,” says Wright. “We were all very lucky to find ourselves surrounded by very good reproductions of original pieces of art they had in their homes.  I had a wonderful van Gogh in my captain’s cabin. Luckily I knew it wasn’t real!”

There are other features that mark Tatoosh out, such as her dedicated wine storage and the five-metre by four-metre heated pool with contra-jets and rising floor on the main deck. Nobody had ever thought of putting a big swimming pool on the aft deck before, but Tatoosh built on Kusch’s earlier work, such as on Leander G .

Toys were another major focus for the design team. A whole deck has been christened “the boat deck” and with good reason. Davits that are elegantly worked into the exterior lines of the boat hold a Germán Frers-designed daysailer called Julia and Chase , a gorgeous custom Hinckley Talaria tender. The Frers racer is 13 metres of composite wizardry with a lifting bulb keel, aimed at getting out for a satisfying burn around the anchorage. Speed is also the essence of the Hinckley, which can manage over 30 knots with its twin 420hp diesels powering Hamilton jet drives. More importantly, it makes a handy overnighter for the owner.

“We used Chase for picnics and the like,” remembers McCaw. “It’s very healthy for both the owner and the guests to be able to have space, even if you are in relatively remote areas. Julia  is pretty complex and she’s quick. There’s something beautiful about getting away from all the machinery in sailing – the sweetness of how you can get in and join the coast.”

McCaw was also a keen pilot. The main helipad is high up aft on the bridge deck, and it includes a bunkering station drawing on tanks of 7,000 litres – enough to keep the aircraft flying for days. It features a so-called harpoon grid to make it easier to touch down in heavy weather. And there’s another touch-and-go helipad on the deck above, slightly forward.

“The double helideck was really about having friends to come and visit so you could move yours out of the way,” says McCaw. “It was much more of the Wild West back then with helicopters – you could use them much more widely. The helideck could also be used for tenders.”

It was all part of a philosophy of yachting that meant everything aboard got used. “The order of  the day was to have at least two helicopters  aboard,” remembers Wright. “A Twin Otter would follow us around, so I’d normally be setting out a mooring for the seaplane.”

A well-equipped dive centre rounds out the yacht’s capabilities. There’s an industrial model Bauer compressor and a fill station that can refill four tanks simultaneously; there’s even a nitrox refilling station for deeper dives. It’s all located around the beach club, where a shell door on the starboard quarter creates a dedicated dive lobby. There’s also a hot tub, sauna and an expansive  bar down here.

With great plans to circumnavigate at leisure, Tatoosh was fitted with some unusual security features. McCaw mentions bulletproof glass and Kevlar armour padding behind walls throughout the superstructure. “We didn’t embed rockets in the hull because we were afraid one might go  off, but we had full British armoury in case the worst should happen in the Straits of Malacca,” McCaw says with a wry smile.

There was also an eight-strong contingent of Gurkhas among the crew – a real novelty at the time in the mainly Anglo-Saxon world of yachting. “Every one of them was fabulous,” says McCaw. They could also strip down an M50 automatic weapon in seconds and put together a mean curry for the weekly Nepalese food night.

Tatoosh was finally delivered in summer 2000 as the world’s 12th-largest private yacht. She wasted no time getting on with the job of cruising. First it was Finland, Sweden, Denmark, then back out of the Baltic and down to the Mediterranean. In the autumn, she cruised out to the West Indies and on to Panama.

McCaw has a particularly fond memory of reaching St Petersburg. Foreign-flagged vessels weren’t allowed onto the city’s waterways, but they bribed a local official to allow the 11-metre tender through. “We managed to talk our way into taking the boat into the canals at  60 to 70 knots with a giant Russian flag up. Blasting through the canals – I will never forget it. It is the closest to James Bond I will ever be.”

But in the dying days of 2001, the tech bubble burst and the McCaws made the heart-wrenching decision to give up the yacht they had invested so much energy in building. They reached a deal with fellow technology billionaire Paul Allen of Microsoft, which saw the boat pass into his ownership, but gave them time aboard for four more years. “Paul saw no need to change anything – just one room,” says McCaw.  “The crew loved having someone on board who knew more about the boat than they did. There was no diminished magic for us.”

Just one of Paul Allen’s yachts, Tatoosh has nevertheless been exceptionally well looked after, with regular refits culminating last winter in her detailed 20-year survey at Kusch Yachts on the River Elbe in Germany. All her engineering has been overhauled and serviced, and the boat has been repainted above and below the waterline.

In her life to date, the boat has toured Africa, the Middle East, the Indian Ocean, the Far East and South East Asia. “Looking at the cruise folder, she’s been all over the world,” says Captain Hielckert. “We were preparing a trip up the Amazon, but unfortunately that never happened. We did visit Fernando de Noronha, a really special island off the Brazilian coast – not many people have been there.”

With robust German construction, Tatoosh is the match of anything the oceans can throw at her. She’s ridden quietly at anchor through 70-knot gusts and traversed big seas. “The hull is not ice-classed, but she can go more or less everywhere,” Hielckert says proudly. And, he adds, "she’s ready to go!”

First published in the September 2022 issue of BOAT International. Tatoosh is now under new ownership.

Paul Allen megayacht destroyed most of Caribbean coral reef

MV Tatoosh, Paul Allen’s 303-foot yacht, has destroyed about 80 percent of a protected coral reef — 14,000 square feet — in the Cayman Islands, according to officials there.

Share story

One of Paul Allen’s big yachts has destroyed a high percentage of a protected coral reef in the Caribbean, according to officials in the Cayman Islands.

Yacht & Boating World reported that the Caymans’ Department of Environment has accused Allen, the Microsoft co-founder and owner of the Seattle Seahawks and Portland Trail Blazers, of having caused serious damage to the protected coral reef in the West Bay replenishing zone.

After an inspection by local divers to assess the damage, officials have found that Allen’s 303-foot yacht MV Tatoosh wrecked a high percentage of the coral, which is essential for marine life.

It is thought that the accident was caused by a yacht’s chain when it was anchored near the Doc Poulson shipwreck and The Knife dive site.

The Tatoosh is the 49th largest yacht in the world, according to BoatInternational.com . Described as “a model of understated luxury” in those big-yacht rankings, it is manned by a crew of 30 and has two helipads.

Cayman News Service reported that the yacht’s anchor chain destroyed close to 14,000 square feet — three-tenths of an acre — of the coral reef in question, or about 80 percent of it. Coral reefs are considered vital for marine life to flourish, and they help protect coastlines from big waves and tropical storms.

Vulcan spokeswoman Alexa Rudin said Allen was not in the Cayman Islands at the time of the incident. She also questioned the 80 percent figure and said the proportion of the reef damaged has yet to be determined.

Allen’s  camp is blaming the Port Authority, “claiming that they followed instructions when mooring the superyacht,” Y&BW’s Stef Bottinelli reports. “Shifting winds reportedly changed the position, pushing the ship toward the reserve but it was relocated to avoid damage,” the Cayman News Service says.

Paul Allen’s Vulcan Inc. issued a statement to GeekWire saying that the yacht’s crew was directed to anchor in the designated area and moved the ship when it found out something could be amiss:

“On January 14, 2016, M/V Tatoosh was moored in a position explicitly directed by the local Port Authority. When its crew was alerted by a diver that her anchor chain may have impacted coral in the area, the crew promptly, and on their own accord, relocated their position to ensure the reef was protected. Vulcan and the ship’s crew are actively and cooperatively working with local authorities to determine the details of what happened. An investigation by local authorities is ongoing.”

The Cayman Islands Department of Environment is expected to issue its findings next week, and Allen could incur a big fine if he’s found to be responsible (though the Cayman News Service says the government there has failed to collect on similar sanctions levied on cruise-ship lines and other megayacht owners).

Four Seasons Just Unveiled the First Itineraries for Its Luxury Cruise Ship

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.

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

Late Microsoft Co-Founder Paul Allen’s Yacht, Tatoosh, Lists for €90 Million

The vessel boasts two helicopter pads, a swimming pool, a beach club and a cinema, one of the late microsoft co-founder paul allen’s superyachts has hit the market for 90 million., newsletter sign-up, week in review.

Shares the stories you may have missed from the world of luxury real estate

One of the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s superyachts has hit the market for €90 million (US$90.5 million). 

The more than 300-foot vessel, known as Tatoosh, was custom-built by the German shipyard Nobiskrug, according to the listing with Fraser Yachts, which is handling the sale. 

“Having just completed an extensive refit, Tatoosh offers an exceptional layout in a Terence Disdale interior,” the listing said, referring to the U.K.-based luxury yacht and aircraft designer.

Replete with over-the-top amenities, the boat features a swimming pool, a beach club, an elevator and a screening room, the listing said. Accommodations include an owner’s full-beam stateroom—meaning it is as wide as the boat—and an adjoining apartment complex, plus 10 additional staterooms. It can accommodate up to 19 guests. 

Transportation to and from the yacht is possible via large tenders, or smaller boats made to take to shore. In addition, there are two helicopter pads.

The more than 300-foot yacht has two helicopter pads.

Tatoosh will be available for viewings during the Monaco Yacht Show, beginning Sept. 28. Fraser Yachts is marketing the yacht; a broker from the company declined to comment for this article. 

Allen, who died in 2018 at age 65, purchased the yacht in 2001 for $100 million from telecommunications entrepreneur Craig McCaw, according to an article at the time in The New York Times. 

The tech titan had a net worth of $20.8 billion when he died, according to Forbes. Allen’s sizable estate also included a 414-foot yacht, a research and recreation vessel dubbed Octopus , which sold last August. It was most recently listed for US$278 million.

His sister, Jody Allen, is the executor and trustee of his estate, and has been selling his assets off in recent years. Christie’s announced it would auction his art collection —worth an estimated $1 billion and including works by Paul Cezanne and Jasper Johns—in November. 

In addition to his art collection, several of Allen’s luxury residences have also been sold. That includes the $101 million sale of two apartments on Manhattan’s Upper East Side in July; a collection of eight properties on Mercer Island in Washington state that sold for $67.1 million, also in July; and a Los Angeles compound that sold for $55.5 million in July 2021.

Billionaire Conservationist's Yacht Damages Coral Reef

Paul Allen's vessel Tatoosh has allegedly damaged coral in the Cayman Islands, although that's not the biggest threat to the reef.

Billionaire Paul Allen has given millions of dollars to conservation causes over the years, including ones that support ocean exploration and preservation . But earlier this month, his 300-foot yacht Tatoosh allegedly caused significant damage to a protected coral reef in the Cayman Islands.

The anchor and chain of the vessel allegedly damaged 14,000 square feet of   reef on January 14, according to Cayman Islands' Department of Environment . The incident occurred   in a protected area of Grand Cayman called the West Bay replenishment zone, which is near   popular scuba diving sites.

The M/V Tatoosh was "moored in a position explicitly directed by the local Port Authority," Paul Allen's Seattle-based company, Vulcan, says in a statement on its website . However, the winds reportedly shifted, moving the boat toward the reef.

"When its crew was alerted by a diver that her anchor chain may have impacted coral in the area, the crew promptly, and on their own accord, relocated their position to ensure the reef was protected," Vulcan says (company spokespeople have declined to speak with us beyond the statement).

Allen was not on board the 300-foot yacht ( his second biggest ), which has five decks and is staffed by a crew of 30. (It is reportedly the 49th largest yacht in the world .)   Vulcan says the company is working with local authorities to determine what happened and to help restore the damage.

The incident was relatively unusual, since Grand Cayman is a popular boating destination and clear guidelines usually keep people from damaging the reef, says Carrie Manfrino, a coral ecologist who founded the Central Caribbean Marine Institute , which operates a field station in the Cayman Islands.

"We've come a long way from the day when anchors could just be thrown in the water anywhere," says Manfrino.

Michael P. Lesser , a marine scientist at the University of New Hampshire who has worked in the Caymans, agrees, although he says ship anchors and groundings "continue to be a source of damage to coral reefs around the world." Guidelines on best practices have come a long way, but more work needs to be done, says Lesser, who is a National Geographic explorer.

"I know Paul Allen funds great projects on coral reefs and regeneration, so this is really ironic and a terrible thing," says Manfrino.

The Health of the Reef

Although boat impacts are hardly   the most important threats to corals, it's still important to   prevent them, since corals are already stressed out around the world, Manfrino adds. The most   severe threats include pollution, overfishing, acidification , and global warming, all of which can contribute to coral death, and   bleaching .

"Bleaching is a much bigger threat than Paul Allen's boat," says Manfrino.

Cayman reefs have actually been faring better than many others around the world over the past couple of years. They are among the most   biodiverse of all reefs in the Caribbean and they have shown some resistance to bleaching.

As far as the Tatoosh incident, "early findings already indicate extensive damage," a spokesman from the Cayman Islands' Department of Environment   told the Cayman News Service .

Restoration?

It's not yet clear how restoration might proceed, but Manfrino says it's possible to transplant baby corals to jumpstart the process. Corals are already being replanted on a large scale in Florida.

More research is needed on how corals are responding to a changing world, says Manfrino, who adds that she is "very worried for their future."

paul allen yacht tatoosh

The Tatoosh was anchored by the Doc Poulson shipwreck and The Knife dive site, says Yachting and Boating World.

It's no small thing to manage a 300-foot yacht. Tatoosh — which Allen attempted to sell in 2010 for around $165 million, but ultimately held onto — is a true luxury vessel, complete with multiple helicopter pads, a basketball court, a swimming pool, and a movie theater. It's staffed by 35 crew members. (Allen also owns a second, larger yacht, the 414-foot "Octopus", which has a permanent staff of 60.)

Any ship that damages a reef can be subject to fines. But, as the Cayman News Service points out, multiple reef damage incidents in recent years have not been followed up with any government action or fines, including infractions by Carnival Cruise Lines.

Yet the health of the Caribbean's coral reefs is in jeopardy. Studies show that coral has declined as much as 80% since the 1980s, and the World Resources Institute calls the area around the Cayman Islands "highly threatened".

"The ability of Caribbean coral reefs to cope with future local and global environmental change may be irretrievably compromised," one study published in Science Magazine noted.
