Super Yacht On The San Francisco Bay

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS) - A big yacht is on the San Francisco Bay.

The Octopus is currently the world's ninth largest super yacht owned by Paul Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft to whom she was delivered in 2003. Octopus is the third largest super yacht that is not owned by a head of state measuring 414 feet (126 m), and at the time it was built, was believed to be the biggest such yacht.

Octopus sports two helicopters, a pool, and two submarines (one of them operated by remote control for studying the bottom of the ocean). Side hatches at the water line form a dock for jet skis.
