Tatoosh was hired for £400,000 by Teodorín Nguema Obiang, the son of Equatorial Guinean president Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, for a Christmas cruise when he entertained rap singer Eve.
In May 2010, Tatoosh was listed for sale with Fraser Yachts, listed at €125 million. The listing was withdrawn in 2014 after failing to attract a buyer.
