«Tatoosh could not be sold, that is why we do not offer her any more», - says Stuart Larsen of Fraser Yachts.

The megayacht is adapted to accommodate 30 crew and 20 guests and features a cinema, basketball court, swimming pool, recording studio, gym and two helipads.

In addition to Tatoosh, Allen also owns Octopus, which is 414-feet in length. «Many rock musicians, including Mick Jagger and Damian Marley, have recorded their compositions aboard» Octopus. This made the ship famous.
