Wanna buy a boat?

[Maxheader]

Paul Allen's 414-foot yacht, home to A-list parties, is selling for $325 million.

All it will cost to buy this gilded behemoth of the seas is $325.5 million.

Never mind that the “Octopus,” one of the world’s largest yachts, costs more than four times what the billionaire Allen once paid for the entire Portland Trail Blazers. This boat has partied with A-list celebs and explored the ocean depths. Here’s what you, lucky new owner, will be getting:

The first rule of buying a boat is that one elevator isn’t enough. There must be a second elevator only available to its owner. The Octopus passes this test, along with an entire private deck that includes a bar, hot tub and al fresco dining area. That extra personal space is key when you’re accessing one of two helipads atop the ship.

Perhaps the new owner can invite Mick Jagger back aboard for an impromptu music sesh. That’s what Allen did when Jagger used the ship’s recording studio to make some tracks in 2011.

The Octopus, which cost Allen $200 million to launch in 2003, is no stranger to the party circuit, having annually hosted soirees with actors, filmmakers and supermodels during the Cannes Film Festival. No need to worry about making the Kardashians double up on rooms: there are 13 guest cabins that can accommodate up to 26.

Other amenities include a swimming pool with adjacent bar, basketball court, movie theater, spa, library and a glass-bottomed observation lounge for spying on some fish.

As for your 63-member crew, which you’ll need to pay handsomely, there are another 30 cabins.

1. I don't want any ship that might

'explore the ocean depths' with me on it.

6. Same here. Other than big airplanes and cars, it is dry land for me. nt

2. Back in my boating & sailing days I heard this definition

"A boat is a hole in the water, surrounded by wood, metal or fibreglass, into which you pour an infinite amount of money."

4. another old saying: your 2 happiest days owning a boat are the day you buy it & the day you sell it.

8. I remember these

"Boating is being blasted with ice cold water from a firehouse while tearing up $100 bills."

"The best day in my life was the day I bought my boat, and the day I got rid of it"

3. That boat is a large business all in it's own right.

Large yachts average about 10 to 15% of cost per in year in maintenance. Ball park it at $50m a year.

It has a full time crew of 63 people! Damn thing probably employees 500 people in some capacity when you include shore support.

The number on such thing owned by a single individual are hard to fanthom.

9. Not that boat

I just want something simple for fishing. That monstrosity does not make the cut.

10. The eight-person submarine, Pagoo, could be the deal breaker
