Octopus
The original billionaire explorer. Built with a submarine, an ROV and a floodable dock so the toys could launch straight from the stern.

Our take.
Octopus walked so every expedition yacht could run. Still one of the coolest boats ever built, and she knows it.

What they say about her.
Her robot sub found a famous shipwreck relic
Her ROV was reportedly used to help recover the bell of HMS Hood from the North Atlantic floor.
Our take: Well documented and genuinely cool. Most yachts collect wine. This one collected maritime history.

Been on her? Spill it.
Worked a season, crashed a party, waved from a dinghy. True, tall or somewhere between. The community votes.
Log in to tell yoursCame into Bergen years ago and the whole harbor went quiet. That submarine on deck had every kid in town pressed against the fence.
