Is Paul Allen buying the Zein as a shadow boat

Filed under: Yachts & Sailing, Celebrity Shopping

A little while back we wrote about Shadow Boats, boats that cart around the helicopters, speedboats, cars and other toys a megayacht owner needs so the main yacht doesn't get to cluttered. Now the Sunday Times reports that Paul Allen is running out of space on the Octopus. He is looking at the Zein, a the yacht which was where Prince Rainier and Princess Grace spent their honeymoon. It would be a sad end for such a lovely old yacht but the 535,000 euro purchase price makes the Zein a deal.

Shadow Boats

You know you are doing okay when your boat has a boat. You know you are doing really well when your boat's boat has a boat of its own. A Shadow Boat basically a boat that follows your yacht around and holds all the toys (helicopters, cars, boats, etc.) that might otherwise take up valuable lounging space on your megayacht. The boats can be ordered in a variety of sizes and have guest cabins, crew space and can be configured with a spa, gym, salon, hospital or whatever the client desires. The Paladin Shadow is the first shadow boat which debuted at the Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show. Their next boat, the Mystere Shadow, is currently being completed, and has a game room and an observation deck.
