https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_HareDancing Hare (formerly Lady Ghislaine and Lady Mona K) is a luxury motor yacht built by Amels in 1986.
Built for Emad Khashoggi, after the death of Robert Maxwell she was owned by an Arabian businessman, who sold her in 2017.[2] The new owners had her refitted at the Balk Shipyard in Urk, Netherlands over the winter, and subsequently renamed her Dancing Hare.[3]
Built in 1986 for Emad Khashoggi by Amels of Vlissingen, Netherlands, she was the first of numerous classic Jon Bannenberg designed super yachts.[4] With a well-flared bow, lozenge-shaped ports, vertical windows and mullions, and handsomely sculpted mast complex, she is a classic work of designer Bannenberg. For her time, she was a ground-breaking yacht as well.[4] Among her many trendsetting features imagined by Bannenberg, which is almost standard today, is a gymnasium on the upper deck that can be open for fresh air or closed to the elements. Dancing Hare features later classical Bannenberg signatures, including use of symmetry and asymmetry to create spaces that are inviting for their spaciousness as well as their intimacy.[4]
Robert Maxwell[edit]
Emad Khashoggi, also developer of the Château Louis XIV and the Palais Rose, sold the yacht to Robert Maxwell who renamed it Lady Ghislaine (named after his daughter Ghislaine). In 1991, she was the base for Maxwell in New York, moored on the East River as he negotiated with the unions over his purchase of the New York Daily News.[5]
Maxwell's death[edit]
On 5 November 1991, at the age of 68, Maxwell was on board Lady Ghislaine, which was cruising off the Canary Islands. Maxwell's body was subsequently found floating in the Atlantic Ocean. He was buried in Jerusalem. The official verdict was accidental drowning, though some commentators have surmised that he may have committed suicide.[5] Some conspiracy theories even suggest that Maxwell was murdered. The idea has received support from a few mainstream journalists.[6]
Back to Epstein case,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limitless_(luxury_yacht)
Limitless is one of the world's largest private superyachts. She was built in 1997 by German shipmaker Lürssen, with exterior design by the noted Jon Bannenberg and collaborator Jonathan Quinn Barnett,[1] and interior design by François Catroux.[2] The overall length is 96,25 m (315 ft 8 in), the width 12,50 m (41 ft). She is powered by two engines of 5420 kW each, reaching a speed of 25 knots (46 km/h; 29 mph), and was the first yacht to feature a combination of diesel and diesel-electric propulsion. Limitless is owned by Les Wexner, an American businessman who is currently chairman and CEO of the L Brands corporation (formerly Limited Brands, and best known for its brand Victoria's Secret).
Interesting to know if they have subs to enter unnoticed.
You could probably do a whole chapter on the jet set floating around in their private palaces and parties, all hands on deck!
http://www.seamagine.com/small-submarines-models.htmlThe AURORA-3C personal sub model is compact in size and weight, holds 1 pilot and 2 passengers, and is a 1 Atmosphere, ABS Classed, vessel with a depth rating range from 460m to 1000m. The patented configuration provides the occupants an exceptional field of view. When floating at surface the personal submersible has a high freeboard with a stable platform for people to walk on. Handrails and a gentle staircase provide a safe environment for people to board these personal luxury submarines from yachts in a variety of sea states.

Explorer yacht Octopus is already pretty famous thanks to her notable owner – Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen – and the fact that she is the largest expedition yacht in the world. But the 126 metre Octopus added another feather to her cap, and gained kudos from the mainstream press, when her submarine discovered a long-lost WW2 shipwreck, Musashi, at 1,000 feet of water. As seen in the photo above, Octopus’ internal deck is accessible via side doors that allow submarines and tenders to easily be launched.
There you go, big tech MS with internal deck and slide doors...…Octopussy Bond, James Bond style.
Holy S, there is more:
Dr. No's flying submarine
Owned by Tom Perkins, Dr. No has a Hawkes DeepFlight Super Falcon Submarine that not only dives down to 300 metres but literally flies under the water, a unique feature amongst most sumbersibles. The two-man sub achieves this feat by remaining positively buoyant. It was the sub, in fact, that inspired Perkins to find an explorer yacht. When Maltese Falcon couldn’t accommodate the submarine, he built Dr. No – a yacht designed for underwater exploration, which Perkins has taken all over, including experiencing the wonders of New Caledonia.
Perkins, MIT, Harvard...…mad science?
As of 2014, Perkins was worth an estimated $8 billion [14] He had two children, with his first wife, the late Gerd Thune-Ellefsen. After she died in 1994, he married romance novelist Danielle Steel in March 1998; her book The Klone and I (ISBN 0-385-32392-1) was about their friendship. They separated in August 1999 and were later amicably divorced.[15]
In 1996, Perkins was convicted in France of involuntary manslaughter arising from a yacht-racing collision and was fined $10,000.[16]
Perkins was the subject of a 2007 60 Minutes special titled "Captain of Capitalism", which focused on his memoir and featured a tour of his yacht.[17] He was also featured in the documentary film Something Ventured, which premiered in 2011.
Criticism for "Kristallnacht" comment[edit]
In January 2014, the Wall Street Journal published a letter from Perkins[18] that compared the "progressive war on the American one percent" of wealthiest Americans and the Occupy movement's "demonization of the rich" to the Kristallnacht and anti-semitism in Nazi Germany:
Writing from the epicenter of progressive thought, San Francisco, I would call attention to the parallels of fascist Nazi Germany to its war on the "one percent", namely its Jews, to the progressive war on the American one percent, namely the "rich."
The letter was widely criticized and condemned in The Atlantic,[19] The Independent,[20] among bloggers, Twitter users, and "his own colleagues in Silicon Valley".[21] Perkins subsequently apologized for making the comparisons with Nazi Germany, but otherwise stood by his letter, saying, "In the Nazi era it was racial demonization, now it's class demonization."[21]
A month after publication of the letter in the Wall Street Journal, Perkins stated in a Commonwealth Club interview (which can be seen on YouTube)[22] when asked at the ending for his 60-minute "Plan to Save the World" he said that he believed elections should be set up such that the number of votes a person can cast would be proportional to the amount of taxes that the person pays. Both Perkins, the moderator and the audience were laughing. In an interview afterwards, Perkins said "I intended to be outrageous, and it was."[23]
Naia's functional submarine
RV Pegaso, renamed Naia, has a stylish exterior that hides her true heart. The RV in her original named stands for “research vessel” and the 73 metre yacht from Freire was designed for just that. She carries a serious-looking submarine that’s one of the largest around, seating up to five (see photo inset). A 2014 refit saw her glammed up, but with a range of 10,000 nautical miles and a helipad she retains her research vessel roots.
Colourful Thunderbird 2 designed to carry a submarine
The submarine-carrying motor yacht Thunderbird 2 was delivered to an owner who was such a big fan of the British children's television show Thunderbird that he had to have his very own Thunderbird boat. Hence the cartoon-bright paint job and multiple-use design of the yacht, both a nod to the craft found on the Gerry Anderson TV show. Thunderbird 2 carries a three-person sub at stern, her aft section designed around launching the submarine, but inside she offers comfortable accommodations.

Coming on to Octopussy, Jo Lynn Jody Allen is into brain science, granting almost half a billion to knowledge……
Philanthropy[edit]
Allen co-founded the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation in 1990.[3] Since then, the foundation has given more than $469 million in grants to over 1,400 nonprofit organizations.[19]
Allen is the president of the board of trustees of the EMP Museum in Seattle, a nonprofit museum dedicated to pop culture and music.[3][20] The Seattle Times credited Allen with helping her brother make EMP a reality: "Although Allen gets most of the credit...it is the brainchild of both these close siblings. Allen provided the money and inspiration; Patton, as executive director, is largely responsible for the vision that made it happen."[9]
With her brother, Allen co-founded the Allen Institute for Brain Science in 2003 and serves as chairman of the board for that Seattle non-profit organization, which provides free online public resources to scientists around the world.[21][22] She serves on the board of the Seahawks Charitable Foundation, and has served on the boards of ArtsFund, the Theatre Communications Group, the University of Washington Foundation, the Museum of Glass, the Los Angeles Film Festival and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.[3]
No hard evidence yet but this smells swampy, pop cult, music, brainchild, scientists all around, seahawks and Hollywood.
All non profit to do good, enlighten the world?
https://www.boatinternational.com/yacht ... pus--60579Octopus is the most recently built yacht of Paul Allen, one of the founders of Microsoft, who also owns the 92.38 metre Tatoosh.
Octopus features a helicopter pad and garage aft and can also accept a second helicopter on the bows. A novel facility of her design is her internal dock, which, opening from her transom, runs forward through the yacht, allowing a 20 metre submarine and a tender of similar size to float into their storage positions. Once secured, the water is pumped out, leaving them resting on chocks.
The yacht has a permanent berth in the International Yacht Club Marina in Antibes, where her owner acquired the largest dock by buying the 55.78 metre superyacht Hanse together with its berth – he kept the berth and immediately sold Hanse, which has now been renamed Insignia.
Octopus is currently the largest explorer yacht in the world.
50 crew, 22 guests, these people do not give for free, anything. Let alone 468 Million dollars.
So what is the catch?

In one bathroom sits a chair. Next to it is a fully equipped dentist's cart, complete with what appear to be drills, a lamp and other instruments
