Who owns "Jamaica Bay"?

I went past it on my way down the Potomac a couple of days ago.

Just curious. It's big.

Yes, that one.

It's a foreign registry, probably to a corporate entity. Typically
the builders, brokers and crew of a boat like that will be sworn to
secrecy with non-disclosure agreements regarding the true identity of
the owner. Sometimes if you google around you can pick up snippets
of gossip.

I googled around extensively but couldn't turn up anything concrete.
Looks like anyone who's had anything to do with it is sworn to secrecy.

I had my interest piqued because I was wandering around Old Alexandria
Sunday a week back and this thing was at the pier there. Bit hard to
miss being that big. The I saw it again when I was heading back down
river. I wondered who'd bothered to take it all the way to Washington
(not an easy drive) and thought it just might have been the guy who owns
the Redskins. Apparently these things are the latest must have for the
owners - the Ravens' owners' boat, "Final Drive" from memory, sits
alongside Ego Alley in Annapolis. Not in it, but next slip other side
sort of. But then I figured if they are "must haves" they have to tell
everyone, right? I abhor a vacuum so I want to know.

The ones we get over here are almost always on charter or going to be
chartered, or fixing it up to go on charter, or, or, or. The actual
owners might come out for a couple of weeks a year but the majority of
the "passengers" have chartered it. We had one come in twice with a
helicopter on the roof:-) That one I did ask about as the helicopter
had some strange licence number. Nobody knew where the helicopter was
registered but I was told that it couldn't fly in the country without
a lot of paper work to get permissions, etc.

That chappy from Microsoft who owns the Sea Eagles has one with a helo
on it. He was in West Oz a couple of years ago. The boat goes to
places and his Dive Master scopes out diving for him then he flies
in to wherever and the helo comes and picks him up and takes him to the
boat. Paul something like Allan or Allen or? I'm on a limited
connection at the moment or I'd look it up. That boat's not a big
secret, though.

Paul Allen, I think it is. Was co-founder of Microsoft in 1975 and now
57th richest man in the world (31 Billion estimated in 2011).

But I don't think that the ownership of most mega-yachts is so much a
secret as such. More a matter that, for tax purposes, they are very
likely owned by a company that is in incorporated in Liberia or
Panama, or somewhere and that company may very well be a matter of
corporate shares held by someone and the Manager being a local lawyer.
