Quick Enquiry

"I once had a client who told me, “I will put your name on the side of my boat if it’s good, but if the boat is not good, your name will appear three times as big.” We were brought up with the sense that it is a very personal obligation for the family when we sign a contract to deliver a yacht that the client expects. I cannot go to a client and say “One of my guys made a mistake.” He would say “Is he Mr. Lürssen, or are you Mr. Lürssen?” But a successful delivery is also a great reward. I take the relationships of my clients very personally." - Peter Lürssen of Lürssen Yachts (courtesy SuperYachtTimes)

Motor Yacht

Octopus is a 126.20m (414.04ft) motor yacht, custom built in 2003 and last refitted in 2008.

One of the largest and most spectacular examples of a full-fledged yachting and exploration vessel, 126-meter Octopus is equipped with highly sophisticated technology.

Espen Øino International designed the striking exterior with a blue and white hull and superstructure, featuring two helipads and a hangar aft.

The superyacht is capable of exploration and scientific research voyages requiring months at sea. One of her key features is an integrated dock for both the principal 20-meter guest tender and two submarines for exploring marine life, one of which is remotely controlled for reaching greater depths.

Octopus also houses a professional music studio and a grandiose cinema, created by interior designer Jonathan Quinn Barnett.

With a permanent berth in the International Yacht Club Marina in Antibes, this giant is owned by Microsoft Co-Founder Paul Allen. With a full-time crew of 60 including former Navy Seals, maintenance and salaries on the ship cost a rumoured $200 million. Octopus is well-known for hosting famous faces onboard its well-equipped decks, serviced only by world leaders in their fields.

Alan started his sea-going career in 1999; gaining experience and training on a number of cruise ships including the QE2, Victoria and Aurora. During his decade with P&O Princess and Cunard Alan was fortunate to experience many world cruises, as well as travels up the Amazon, Svalbard, Alaska and many other destinations. After 10 years of commercial experience, Alan had the opportunity to join M/Y Octopus in the Autumn of 2009. Since then, Alan worked his way up the ranks onboard, being promoted to Captain in early 2020. Throughout his time onboard, Octopus has completed many unique voyages taking in some of the most spectacular parts of the globe. Experiences which will last long in his memory are expeditions to Antarctica, transiting the Northwest Passage on multiple occasions, as well as the Kimberley’s in North-Western Australia, to name but a few. Being part of this unique vessel and working with the onboard team has by far been the highlight of Alan’s career. In his downtime on leave Alan enjoys spending time in the countryside of Northern England with his wife, children and his German Shepard, Heidi.

The yachting industry has no global listing service to which all charter yachts must subscribe to, making it impossible to ascertain a truly up-to-date view of the market. Charter Index is a news and information service and not always informed when yachts leave the charter market, or when they are recently sold and renamed, it is not always clear if they are still for charter. Whilst we endeavour to maintain accurate information, the existence of a listing on Charter Index should in no way supersede official documentation supplied by the representatives of a yacht.
