Yacht arrangement

The 82m O’Mega built to the highest SOLAS standards. The yacht was initially built in 1985 by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Co. Ltd., and underwent a total re-construction in its hull and superstructure features in 2004 by Golden Yachts. In order to be able to guarantee the highest seaworthiness and safety, all of the machinery and auxiliaries were fully overhauled and all necessary inspections were approved by Bureau Veritas Classification Society. Moreover, the remaining technological equipment and machinery were also replaced in order to ensure that the yacht had nothing to envy from a total new building. This former passenger vessel was converted into a majestic mega yacht that has managed to set a class of its own guaranteeing guest safety without compromising comfort and elegance.

The O’Mega’s gracious interior by Giorgio Vafiadis is fitted with mahogany paneling, built-in furniture, custom made linens, carpets, and handmade fabrics; all of which are Italian made. All areas are distinctly decorated with the finest materials as well as highest quality marbles throughout. The main deck is comprised of a large exterior seating area, a spacious salon, dining area, conference room, gymnasium, and five double and five twin en-suite staterooms all equipped with LCD screens, DVD’s, and surround system entertainment. The upper deck features another outdoor dining area and bar, a salon and piano bar, a full width owner’s stateroom, and four VIP suites. The fifth VIP cabin with a panoramic view is located on the Bridge Deck. The sun deck of O’Mega, featuring two spacious sunbathing areas, a large jacuzzi, and a bar, is the place to be onboard.

Hi Trina, O’Mega – just lovely. The overhaul in 2011 has been tastefully done and many appreciated her glossy internal finish. Very well appointed and maintained. We were all very proud to be on-board her that is a definte! The Crew – what a group of professionals. They did an outstanding job. Yannis and Maria in particular were a huge help to me. Everyone spoke good English which encouraged general conversation and interaction with the crew. We all fell in love with Paulo the laundry fairy! The watersport team were very attentive and provided the appropriate instruction and guidance. So much so some guests tried some sports for the first time successfully. The guests very much enjoyed their time with the crew in all its forms. Charter on O'MEGA in Croatia, Jun

Charter Yacht O’MEGA Available In The Caribbean For The First Time Ever

• Share this on Facebook
• Share this on X
• Share via Email

By Oliver Pearson   7 September 2016

Capable of accommodating an incredible thirty guests, and comprised of six vastly voluminous decks, the 83m/271ft motor yacht O’MEGA is sure to be a hit as she makes her Caribbean debut this winter.

Boarded by an exquisite limousine tender, and defined by an effortless sophistication, the iconic O’MEGA has long since established herself as a world-leading charter yacht.

Something of a rarity, the motor yacht features a total of fourteen cabins, allowing larger parties to enjoy their time together on the water.

Even more impressively, the layout and design of the communal spaces means that charterers are able to unwind in the kind of comfort they would expect from a modern superyacht.

This is, of course, due to the extensive upgrades O’MEGA has received and the refit she enjoyed in 2011.

Mark Zuckerberg’s $300million ‘birthday present’ mega yacht arrives in US – it even has its own $30m ‘wingman’ boat

• Isabelle Hajek , Freelance News & Blogs Reporter
• Published : 5:05, 21 Mar 2024
• Updated : 5:36, 21 Mar 2024

FACEBOOK Co-founder Mark Zuckerberg has shown off his wealth at sea, bringing his multimillion-dollar yacht to the United States just weeks before his birthday.

After rumors the billionaire was looking to invest in a yacht began circulating, Zuckerberg was quick to snag a $300 million mega yacht complete with its own $30 million partner boat.

He was seen in the Netherlands touring Project 1010, a Russian-commissioned mega yacht, in early March as said rumors began.

Due to sanctions involved in importing the vessel to the United States, delivery of Zuckerberg's multimillion-dollar boat was delayed, first being spotted in home waters on March 20.

The 387-foot long vessel docked at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with its chrome finish reflecting a harsh sun.

Project 1010 made its maiden voyage from the Netherlands after receiving special permission to be imported just weeks ahead of Zuckerberg's birthday on May 14, raising questions around whether it could be a gift to mark the occasion.

The mega vessel is not far off the size of Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos' $500 million 417-foot tall mega yacht, Koru, which was spotted in the same state in November of 2023.

The Abeona, his mega yacht's support vessel, contained a 264-foot garage holding Bezos' luxury cars, private helicopter, and jet skis, was docked at a slip four miles away.

To put into perspective the additional costs Zuckerberg is looking at, Bezos reportedly bankrolled a $16,500 per week bill for the Koru to stay at the port, a part of the $25 million in annual costs ship will rack up.

But cost is no object to the 39-year-old, as was the youngest billionaire to make the top 10 wealthiest people in the world list.

In 2021, Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly worth $108 billion, which rose to $138.4 billion by January of 2024.

Zuckerberg is hardly known for conserving his money when faced with large purchases.

In December 2021, it was reported that Zuckerberg was breaking ground on an estimated $270 million 57,000-square-foot  Doomsday  bunker.

The plans for the structure included filling the football field-sized space with 30 bedrooms, elevators, a swimming pool, a sauna, a tennis court, and a full-sized gym.

EARNING $48,328 - MINUTE BY MINUTE

While a $330 million purchase might sound outlandish to most, especially when coupled with a $270 million bunker, Zuckerberg can make that money back in about two months.

The Meta, formerly Facebook, founder makes between $6 million and $12 million each day, equating to an estimated yearly earning of more than $3 billion.

In 2018, Zuckerberg earned roughly $1.7 million an hour, according to previous Business Insider calculations.

By 2020, he was reportedly ranked the fourth richest person on the planet.

For scale: It takes Zuckerberg less than an hour-and-a half to earn what the Social Security Administration reports and average American man with a bachelor's degree will earn in his lifetime — $2.2 million.

In less than two minutes, Zuckerberg makes what it takes the full-time median US worker a year to earn — $48,328, writes  Business Insider.

State coat of arms

United under one coat of arms

Baden-Württemberg’s unity and diversity are expressed in the State coat of arms, which revisits the historic origins of Baden-Württemberg and symbolically unites them in one cohesive emblem.

Lion, stag and griffon – the symbols and traditions of the regions which make up our state are united in the Baden-Württemberg coat of arms. The three lions embody Schwaben, the stag is the symbol of Württemberg, and the griffon stands for Baden. The six badges lining the crown at the top of the shield represent the six most important historical territories of the Southwest State.

The constitution of the State of Baden-Württemberg only stipulates the State colours as black and gold. The coat of arms of the newly founded State in the Southwest was not added until 1954. The State Parliament decided to adopt a coat of arms which symbolized the union of the young State of Baden-Württemberg, but also honoured the tradition of the former states and regions from which it was formed.

The greater and lesser coat of arms may only be carried on principle by certain authorized authorities and institutions.

Baden-Württemberg is a federal state ( Bundesland ) in Germany . Its world famous Black Forest and the celebrated, romantic city of Heidelberg are top tourist destinations within Germany and Central Europe , but there is much more to see.

Baden-Württemberg is part of the southern German-speaking world where dialect and tradition remain strong. It shares many traditions with its neighbours in Alsace , France to the west and in Switzerland and Vorarlberg , ( Austria ) to the south. It's also much more rural and bucolic than central and northern Germany; this makes it a popular destination for visiting natural spas with supposed curative properties or going on long hikes in its many old-growth forests.

Alternative spellings of the Land's name are Baden-Wuerttemberg and Baden-Wurttemberg.

Understand [ edit ]

Among the West-German states, Baden-Württemberg is one of the youngest, having been founded in 1952 through a unification of administrative areas that, until the end of WWI in 1919, had been mostly covered by the kingdom of Württemberg , the grand-duchy of Baden and the Hohenzollern lands that belonged to Prussia . The consequence of this—and that's the important bit a traveller should know—is that there are now two tribes living together in the state: Badener in the west and Schwaben in the east. Both speak different dialects (see below) and share a love-hate relationship towards each other that's nurtured with a lot of humour. For what unites both tribes and the rest of the people living here is a pride for "their" Baden-Württemberg and what they have made of it since its creation, that's surprising for Germans from up north. Since 1999, the state has been advertising itself all over Germany with the slogan "We can do everything—except speak Standard German." ( Wir können alles, außer Hochdeutsch ), a tongue-in-cheek play on the infamous dialects (see below).

And indeed, Baden-Württemberg is doing quite well in terms of economics compared to other places in Germany. It boasts the lowest unemployment rate among all states, some of the best universities in Germany, a GDP per capita that rivals Switzerland and is the only German state that still has a higher birth than death rate. The European Statistics Office (Eurostat) has called Baden-Württemberg the "high-tech central of Europe". And, famously, the percentage of people owning their own home is by far the highest in Germany—which aligns well with the cliché of the Eigenheim obsessed people from Swabia. The Swabiand stereotypical creed is Schaffe, schaffe, Häusle baue —"Work, work, and build a little house".

The main reason for all those superlatives lies deeply in the history of the land: Although nowadays there are about as many Catholics as Protestants and believers of other denominations living in Baden-Württemberg (and a third group of comparable size without religious faith), during the reformation South-West Germany was strongly influenced by the schools of Martin Luther, John Calvin and Huldrych Zwingli, which left behind a society with moral values circling around hard work, self-control and the general motto "God helps those who help themselves".

Hence the country that was once dirt poor, having to struggle with hard winters and frequent famines, today is plastered with high technology companies. The most important sectors are mechanical engineering (most famously Robert Bosch), Chemistry, Biotechnology and, above all, motor vehicles. The state is also where the car was invented, at least according to the locals. And while there may be other claimants, this state has the Bertha Benz Memorial Route and a pharmacy on the route where she stopped to get gas can legitimately be called "the first gas station". Daimler and Porsche were founded and still have their headquarters around Stuttgart; Audi, Volkswagen and others have large plants in the state. If you count the small and medium-sized suppliers, every other employee in Baden-Württemberg is working for the car industry, directly or indirectly. As Max Weber, a philosopher at Heidelberg University said, around here, it's "Capitalism as it was meant to be".

With that said, Baden-Württemberg has become one of Europe's most politically "Green" regions, as Green politicians perform exceptionally well there. In fact, Stuttgart was one of the first German cities to have a Green mayor.

Talk [ edit ]

While every region in Germany has its own Germanic "dialect" in addition to Standard German ( Hochdeutsch ) Baden-Württemberg (together with parts of Bavaria and Saxony), is among those regions where the "dialect" is actually the native language of the near-majority of the population (except in the north).

The traditional "dialect" in most of the state is Alemannic ( Alemannisch ) which is by far the main language in German-speaking Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Vorarlberg in Austria, as well as being spoken natively by many in western Bavaria and as a minority language in Alsace in eastern France. As it is divided into numerous local dialects and has its own written language, it is very disputed as to whether it is a dialect or in fact a separate language. More and more people understandably state the latter. Ultimately, the old Yiddish adage applies - a language is a dialect with an army and a navy.

The exact proportion between native speakers of Standard German and Alemannic is unclear; however in general more Alemannic speakers are found in rural areas than in say, Stuttgart, where Standard German nowadays seems to be the more common mother tongue.

Kurpfälzisch is the traditional language in the north of the state (i.e. the region surrounding Mannheim and Heidelberg) but standard German is what dominates in most places. That said, it is still spoken by many people in the rural areas.

As good as all Alemannic-speakers are fluent in Standard German and many also in English, even in rural areas, but also tend to be surprisingly proud of their "dialect" and learning a few words or phrases in it might in fact not be the most foolish thing to do. Although native Standard German-speakers are a majority in many cities, you still will encounter plenty of native Alemannic-speakers as well, some of whom might in fact be uneasy about speaking Standard German (mostly rural elders).

All in all though, language is not a major barrier, and even a monolingual English-speaker should have no difficulty truly enjoying this sunny part of Germany.

As the state borders France, it may be possible to come across people who speak basic French, especially along the border.

Get in [ edit ]

By plane [ edit ]

Frankfurt airport ( FRA  IATA ), the busiest airport in mainland Europe, although not in Baden-Württemberg, is well within reach by train (90 min. from FRA to Stuttgart main station via the high-speed ICE connection). For most "traditional" airlines and many German charter airlines, a train ticket from FRA can be booked together with the flight for a reduced price or even for free. See rail air alliances for details. Low-fare airlines offer services to the local airports of Karlsruhe - Baden Baden ( FKB  IATA ) and Friedrichshafen ( FDH  IATA ).

Travellers beware: "Frankfurt Hahn " ( HHN  IATA ), the big hub for low-fare airlines, should not be confused with FRA. In stark contrast, it has no train station and is in a rather remote location. It is possible to get from Hahn into Baden-Württemberg rather conveniently, but it definitely takes a lot longer and is much more hassle than from FRA.

For the southern part of Baden-Württemberg, the airports in Zurich , Switzerland , and the EuroAirport Basel - Mulhouse on French territory are convenient, too. Another option is Memmingen ( FMM  IATA ) which is deceptively marketed as being close to Munich, while in actuality it is much closer to southern Baden Württemberg than to Munich.

By train [ edit ]

All major cities are well connected through the Deutsche Bahn (DB) rail system. Ulm, Karlsruhe, Mannheim, Heidelberg, Stuttgart and Freiburg even have ICE connections (slick, comfortable, white high speed trains travelling at up to 250km/h). Tickets can be booked via the Deutsche Bahn website [dead link] .

Baden-Württemberg (as well as some other regions in Germany) offers a special regional train ticket (in this case, the Baden-Württemberg-Ticket ). It's valid from 9AM-3AM on weekdays and midnight until 3AM on weekends. A second class ticket for one person was priced at €24 (with each extra additional passenger just €6). First class tickets cost €32 with each extra additional passenger €14. These prices are valid if you buy the ticket at a machine or in the Internet. An additional charge of €2 is added if you buy the ticket at a service centre. The ticket can be used on all regional trains within Baden-Württemberg except InterCity (IC), InterCityExpress (ICE), EuroCity (EC) and some special trains as well as on almost all public buses and for all vehicles of the transport associations within Baden-Württemberg. The same ticket also entitles for travel to selected cities outside the state such as Basel and Kreuzlingen in Switzerland, Würzburg and Lindau in the neighboring state of Bavaria.

By bus [ edit ]

The long-distance bus market is exploding in Germany, since a new law was passed in 2013. There are dozens of daily services from most major cities, which are often significantly cheaper than trains. Most buses offer amenities like Wi-Fi and power outlets and some can even transport bicycles.

Get around [ edit ]

By train and bus [ edit ]

Baden-Württemberg has an excellent rail network, serving even quite remote areas. Especially rural villages are served by buses which generally leave from main train stations in larger towns and cities. Buses are quite frequent near big cities, but especially on weekend in rural areas there are only 2–4 bus connections a day. All connections can be checked at this website .

If you're travelling within Baden-Württemberg, you can purchase the Baden-Württemberg-Ticket , which will give you all-day travel in regional trains (categories S, RB, RE and IRE) within Baden-Württemberg and also to some cities closely beyond the state's boundaries, like Basel , Lindau and Würzburg . You can use it for trains of all operators, and most of local buses and city transport. On working days the ticket is valid 09:00-03:00 the following day. On weekends it is valid the entire day. It is sold on most ticket vending machines within the region. These are the variants of Baden-Württemberg-Ticket:

• Baden-Württemberg-Ticket (€23 for single traveller, + €5 for each additional traveller, up to five total travellers)
• Baden-Württemberg-Ticket Nacht ( "Night" , €20 + €4 for each additional traveller) -- for groups of up to five people, valid from 6PM to 6AM the following day (7AM if the following day is weekend or public holiday)
• There also is a first-class variant, starting at €31 .

For general information about Länder-Tickets see Rail travel in Germany#Länder-Tickets .

Regional offers [ edit ]

For the Stuttgart Metropolitan Region ("Metropolregion Stuttgart"), which covers nearly half of Baden-Württemberg's territory and much of what can be practically be reached on a day trip from Stuttgart, the Metropolticket is a slightly cheaper day ticket than the Baden-Württemberg-Ticket: €20 for the first traveller, €5 extra for additional travellers, up to five total travellers. The allowed times of day are the same as for the Baden-Württemberg-Ticket. They also are sold at most ticket vending machines within the region.

Not to be confused with the Stuttgart Metropolitan Region, the Stuttgart Region ("Region Stuttgart") covers a smaller area of roughly 40 km (25 mi) around the centre of Stuttgart and offers tickets at still lower prices valid within their region. See Stuttgart Region#Get around .

There are about 20 distinct local transport authorities ("Verkehrsverbünde", Map ) all over the state, offering tickets valid for both their respective regional trains and buses.

By car [ edit ]

Of course you can always use your car. If you are travelling in the Black Forest or the Swabian Alb during winter, bring snow chains as some smaller roads may not see snow ploughs frequently enough. When travelling on the Autobahn , the same precautions as everywhere on German high speed roads apply: If you're not willing (and prepared) to drive consistently at or above the official reference speed of 130 km/h (81 mph), stay on the right. Move to the right if that lane is vacant for a stretch long enough to safely use it, use your common sense, don't drive faster than you can think.

See [ edit ]

High culture [ edit ]

• Stuttgart . The green capital with its world-class opera house the Staatstheater , city castle and famous gallery of modern art.  

• Ulm . In the southeast, the Calvinist, protestant citizens of built the world's tallest church.  

Nature [ edit ]

• Black Forest . The world famous Black Forest to the east of the Rhine Valley has been declared national heritage and will gradually return into a wild state over the next century.  
• Swabian Mountains . The Schwäbische Alb in the south is a rough landscape with limestone geology, featuring huge caves, deep blue lakes (e.g. the Blautopf) and long walking trails.  
• Lake Constance . The Lake Constance ( Bodensee ) at the border to Switzerland and Austria is Germany's largest lake, source of drinking water for millions and a haven for hikers, cyclists and sailors. Around its banks, you can discover Stone Age settlements, the "Flower Island" Mainau and the medieval peninsula of Lindau where the living Nobel Laureates of the world meet once a year.  

Castles [ edit ]

• Hohenzollern Castle . Like much of Germany, Baden-Württemberg is sprinkled with beautiful castles. From the ancient home of the Hohenzollerns (the house Kaiser Wilhelm II was a member of) to the homes of the Württemberg Dukes and Kings.  

Ancient history [ edit ]

• Stilt house museum ( Pfahlbau Museum Unteruhldingen ). Open air museum with reconstruction of stone age and bronze age stilt settlement in Uhldingen-Mühlhofen .  
• Celtic museum ( Keltenmuseum ), Hochdorf ( near Vaihingen an der Enz ). Reconstruction of burial mound and farmstead. This museum was opened where a Celtic burial mound was found in 1950s.  

Tourist routes [ edit ]

• Bertha Benz Memorial Route . The route follows the tracks of the world's first long-distance journey by automobile in the year 1888, performed by Bertha Benz, the wife of Dr Karl Benz, the inventor of the automobile. It starts and ends in Mannheim .  
• Bergstraße . The route follows the western edge of the Odenwald mountain range. Along the route are vineyards and several attractive towns.  

Do [ edit ]

• With the abundance of hills, low mountains, picturesque valleys and forests, as well as quite evenly dispersed hospitable settlements, Baden-Württemberg is among the best places in Europe to go hiking
• If you prefer travelling by car, you may want to follow the Bertha Benz Memorial Route , and visit the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche museums in Stuttgart
• Enjoy the beautiful Lake Constance by getting on a boat or ship in the Bodensee Region
• ...or fly a Zeppelin in Friedrichshafen !
• Go skiing on Feldberg surrounded by the gorgeous Black Forest.

Eat [ edit ]

• Spätzle . The "national dish" of Württemberg is Spätzle , a freshly prepared pasta made from eggs, flour, salt and water (and nothing else). It is typically served topped with cheese ( Kässpätzle ) or lentils and sausage ( Spätzle mit Linsen und Saitenwürschdle ).  
• Maultaschen . Similar to ravioli, Maultaschen consists of an outer-layer of pasta dough, which encloses a filling traditionally consisting of minced meat, smoked meat, spinach, bread crumbs and onions and flavoured with various herbs and spices. Mostly served in a soup ( in der Brühe ) or as cut slices and fried in a pan with onions and scrambled eggs ( geröstet ).  
• Zwiebelrostbraten ( onion-topped roast beef with gravy ). It is the traditional Sunday dinner dish of the Swabian cuisine and served in every better restaurant. The meat used for Zwiebelrostbraten is traditionally a standing rib roast cut, which is called "Rostbraten" in German. The fried roast beef is topped with roasted onions (German: Zwiebeln) and served with spaetzle and mostly a mixed salad.  
• Swabian potato salad ( Kartoffelsalat ). Mostly eaten as a side-dish, the Swabian potato salad ( Kartoffelsalat ) which, in contrast to the northern German variety is prepared with broth instead of mayonnaise, creating in effect a completely different dish.  

Drink [ edit ]

• Beer . With 185 different breweries Baden-Württemberg is on the second rank after Baveria. There are some breweries of note in the region, of which the state-owned Rothaus or Welde are two beers which enjoys cult status.  
• Wine . Baden-Württemberg contains some of Germany's most significant wine-growing regions. Much of the wine economy is in the hands of local co-operatives and the locals enjoy the wine in old-fashioned wine cellars. The best wine grows in an area called the Kaiserstuhl in Baden.  
• Spirits . Fruit brandies, e.g. Obstler (distilled from apples and pears) and Zwetschgenwasser (plums) are just two of the most common spirits. The queen of Schnapps is without any doubt the Kirschwasser (also sometimes referred to as Kirschwaesserle ) made out of Morello cherries from the black forest area. These are commonly drunk after a meal in a restaurant.  

Stay safe [ edit ]

Baden-Württemberg is one of the safest regions in Germany. In large cities like Mannheim and especially Stuttgart, be aware of theft. Other regions are safe and you can travel alone without any problems. Even walking alone late at night is no problem. When out hiking and trekking have a map and take proper clothing. The forests are thick and dark and surprisingly rural considering the population density of Central Europe. Whilst walking in forests, you should be aware of ticks as they carry Lyme disease. Take extra care and if you see a tick you should brush it off immediately and seek medical advice if a noticeable bite occurs.
