Octopus is in Bermuda.
Paul Allen's mega yacht. It's here for a few months. Spends most of it's time hovering offshore. I'm sure you can find out info about it, but it has 2 helicopters, a submarine and many other things. The first pic shows the 60+ foot long runabout at the stern.

Well when you've made 40 billion dollars as the trusty sidekick of Bill Gates, eventually you run out of things to spend money on! That's really cool. When I was out in Washington my uncle flew me over Bill Gate's house. Well the general area where it is, it's pretty secluded. I think it has it's own zip code.

You know Paul Allen has a second one, right? I design megayacht marinas for boats that size.
