This week witnessed a rare occurrence as the luxurious yacht owned by billionaire Dennis Washington graced the San Diego harbor. This magnificent vessel, known as the Atessa V, comes with a staggering price tag of $200 million. Interestingly, it was previously owned by the wealthy Russian, Mikhail Prokhorov.

Washington amassed the majority of his wealth during the 1980s and 1990s when he acquired a copper mine, which proved to be a highly profitable venture. Now at the age of 88, he appears to have developed an affinity for the splendid San Diego coastline, which is particularly breathtaking at this time of year.

The image was originally uploaded on Reddit where a surprised San Diego resident announced their sight at seeing the vessel in all of its glory.

Adding to the aura of opulence, the yacht boasts a mini helicopter, a practical choice for avoiding San Diego’s notorious traffic congestion. Furthermore, it features a spacious deck, multiple stories, and can comfortably accommodate a large number of guests, making it an ideal venue for extravagant gatherings. To top it off, Washington also owns the Atessa IV, which occasionally graces the same region.

Over time, San Diego has earned a reputation as a haven for yacht enthusiasts, attracting numerous high-net-worth individuals like Dennis Washington and others. In part, this is due to the famous San Diego yacht club which is as illustrious as it sounds.
