The Aurora Monster Yacht in Northport Harbor

08.11.07 - If you saw this huge yacht in Northport Harbor, NY in August, here's some info on it: Originally built in 1993 for Orin Edison, founder of Bayliner yachts. He & wife were both yacht captains as well as licensed helicopter pilots. Later it was sold to Andy McKelvery, founder & owner of TMP Monster Worldwide Inc (Monster.com) who is the current owner. It is currently named "AURORA A" though has not been changed on the boat itself. It's 161 ft long! and travels all over the world. Wonder what the heck it was doing in NORTHPORT HARBOR!

My whole family rented Aurora in 2005. for a month. It was such an awesome experience. Never managed to ride the helicopter. Hope to do it again someday later in the future.

OMG! It has a helicopter on board.....you think they need a Med Flight RN, that is what I do for a living and I would love to land a "posh" job like this one!! I could fly out to the crew who are off on the dingy fishing, swimming, skiing and wake boarding if the stubbed their toe and needed a band aid! Man,, what a dream yacht! It sure beats the hell out of my 24 foot Chris Craft! Hell, I'd even cook their dinner every night and clean the entire yacht daily including making the Captain's bed!!

HAHAHA! YOU ARE FUNNY! That boat is rented out during the year. I don't know how often. It comes as it is. Actually, we noticed later that the hilicopter was GONE but had not seen it take off. By the time we were coming back into the harbor, it had returned. Guess they had to go grocery shopping.....? LOL Yep - guess that would be a great job!!

Chardy 17,

I was on Aurora in 2005. Did we meet. I don't remember renting it out.

This yacht belongs to Charles Wang. Current majority owner of the new York islanders.

I watched the helicopter land on this baby back around 1986. I stopped dead center of the curve around the point, not a soul to be seen. I wondered if Billy Joel owned it back then though he lived out on Shelter Island. Does anyone know who owns this? I know that a very prominent newscaster lives nearby as well.
