OLIVIA O Yacht – Extravagant $200 Million Superyacht

OLIVIA O yacht is the 88th largest yacht in the world with a total length of 88 meters (288 ft). She is an explorer yacht built by the Ulstein shipyard in Norway in 2020.

OLIVIA O yacht interior

No official photos of the interior of OLIVIA O have been released. The design project was conducted by Droulers Architecture , a studio from Milan that is owned by the two sisters Nathalie and Virginie.

They have worked on several superyachts and she was one of their largest. The vessel includes seven guest cabins that can host up to 14 guests.

A further 30 crew members find space in 15 cabins below the deck. The yacht has a large movie theatre, a gym as well as a beauty salon.

Specifications

The super yacht OLIVIA O is 88 meters (288 ft) long with a beam of 16.3 meters (53.6 ft) and a 5.1-meter (16.9 ft) draft.

Due to her high draft, she is not suitable for shallow waters but rather designed for exploration and more remote journeys. Her twin electric Rolls Royce engines allow her to cruise at a speed of 14 knots although her top speeds of 15 knots aren’t much higher.

With a volume of 4.989 tons, she is very heavy, especially when considering her length.

Ulstein is typically known for constructing vessels meant for the oil industry and OLIVIA O was the first superyacht they built.

To this day she remains the largest yacht constructed at their shipyard in Norway.

When looking at OLIVIA O her unusual exterior design is immediately noticeable. She features a so-called inverted bow (or x-bow) which her builders at Ulstein are known for.

This means that the furthest tip of the bow is not located at the top but rather on the bottom of the water line. Her bow is just one more feature that clearly identifies OLIVIA O as an explorer ship and much more than just a superyacht.

She carries several tenders and features a large helipad and of course a 10-meter swimming pool.

Her remarkable bridge offers almost 360° views and is reminiscent of an exploration vessel.

The exterior design of OLIVIA O was conducted by Espen Oeino who has worked on many other prominent yacht projects in the past. 

The owner Offer paid a reported price of US $200 million. She generates US $15 to 20 million in annual running costs.

88.5m explorer yacht 'Olivia O' relaunched after outfitting

By Katia Damborsky   20 January 2020

Built in Norway by commercial shipyard Ulstein Verf, the 88.5m/ 290ft motor yacht 'Olivia O' has been relaunched in Malta following extensive outfitting by Italian shipyard Palumbo. 

Characterized by her distinctive reverse bow and rugged explorer-style profile, Olivia O is set to be one of the most exciting deliveries of 2020. 

She was built by Norwegian yard Ulstein Verft, a shipbuilder that is better known for its commercial ferries and workboats.

The yacht underwent sea trials in August 2018. The bare hull was delivered shortly after, and taken to the Palumbo yard in Malta for painting, fairing and outfitting. She has since been relaunched from Palumbo's dry dock.

Benefits of the X-Bow

It is believed to be the first time that Ulstein Verft's trademarked X-bow has appeared on a superyacht. The innovative design has been developed for improved seakeeping by reducing pitching during high swells and piercing smaller waves, allowing for increased on-board comfort at faster speeds. 

The 4,989 GT expedition yacht  features exterior styling from Ulstein Verft in collaboration with esteemed designer Espen Oeino. On-deck highlights include a commercially-rated helipad, a 10-metre pool and a full-beam tender garage amidships that has been designed to be operational during inclement weather conditions.

On-deck highlights include a commercially-rated helipad, a 10-metre pool and a full-beam tender garage.

Her interiors have also been helmed by Espen, working with Droulers Architecture. Her interiors follow a Japanese theme, with plenty of wood, textures and pale colours. Oriental accents are offset by metal surfaces, giving her a polished finish. 

It is not yet known whether Olivia O will become available for private yacht charters .
