Tatoosh is a 303-foot (92 m) private yacht owned by the estate of Paul Allen.

She is currently[when?] the world's 60th largest superyacht.[1]

## History

Originally built for mobile phone magnate Craig McCaw, Tatoosh was built at Rendsburg in Germany by Nobiskrug and completed in June 2000.[2] Design and Construction by Kusch Yachts.[3] It was purchased by Paul Allen in 2001 at a reported cost of $100 million.[4]

Docked at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town

Tatoosh was hired for £400,000 by Teodorín Nguema Obiang, the son of Equatorial Guinean president Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, for a Christmas cruise when he entertained rap singer Eve.[5]

In May 2010, Tatoosh was listed for sale with Fraser Yachts,[6] listed at €125 million.[7] The listing was withdrawn in 2014 after failing to attract a buyer.[citation needed] In June 2021, she was again on the market, this time listed at €90 million.[8]

In January 2016, Tatoosh destroyed 14,000 square feet of coral reef in the West Bay replenishment zone in the Cayman Islands according to officials.[9] The owners of the Tatoosh released a statement that the mooring location was explicitly directed by the local port authority.[10]
