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.

Explorer yacht 'Olivia O' delivered and on her maiden voyage to the Mediterranean

• Share this on Facebook

By Katia Damborsky   29 August 2018

Featuring an innovative X-bow, the hotly-anticipated 88m/290ft megayacht ‘Olivia O’ completed sea trials in Norway earlier this month and is heading to the Mediterranean on her maiden voyage.

After successfully traversing the fjords of Norway during sea trials, the Ulstein Verft-built ‘Olivia O’ has finally been delivered, following much speculation over the unique design of the explorer yacht.

With a distinctive inverted bow, known as an X-bow, she is one of the first superyachts to sport this pioneering development in ship-building. The X-bow offers a host of advantages over traditional bow designs, the most notable being reduced motion on board and a minimised risk of damage to the 88m expedition yacht.

Ergonomically designed to slice through waves rather than slam into them, the X-bow will allow ‘Olivia O’ to sail much more smoothly, even in challenging waters. With reduced drag and fewer struggles navigating rough waters, she will consume less fuel and add increased buoyancy, leading to a much more comfortable cruising experience for her passengers. 

Inspired by ancient Viking designs, Ulstein Verft has won two consecutive awards for their ships boasting X-bow designs, suggesting that in the future X-bows will become more commonplace, particularly among luxury yachts.

Ulstein Verft announced the building of ‘Olivia O’ in 2016, marking the shipyard’s first attempt at branching out into superyachts. Renowned for their tough, durable designs, Ulstein was the ideal candidate to build a sturdy luxury expedition yacht capable of navigating unpredictable seas and exploring the far-flung corners of the ocean.

With reduced drag and fewer struggles navigating rough waters, she will consume less fuel and add increased buoyancy, leading to a much more comfortable cruising experience for her passengers.

They undertook the project in collaboration with esteemed designer Espen Oeino, giving ‘Olivia O’ a superior blend of masterful craftsmanship and the finest engineering, with a sleek and sophisticated exterior.

The interiors of the yacht are yet to be released, but they will no doubt exude taste and style. Superyacht 'Olivia O' will host a superb selection of amenities, including a helipad and a 10m pool that will benefit from sunlight thanks to cut-out sections in the deck above.

'Olivia O' docks in Monaco

The stunning reverse-bow explorer yacht Olivia O has finally arrived in Monaco for its billionaire owner, shipping magnate Eyal Ofer. The 89-metre explorer yacht was designed and built by Norwegian yard Ulstein Verft at the Palumbo Shipyard in Malta. It is reportedly the first time that Ulstein’s trademarked X-Bow has appeared on a yacht. The shipbuilder is more accustomed to creating commercial ships for the oil industry, which explains why Monaco-based billionaire Eyal Ofer, whose fortune partly derives from shipping, recruited Ulstein to design his latest toy. The Monaco Yacht Club happily welcomed the arrival of Olivia O on Monday 15th June with this tweet:

$200-million Super-yacht ‘Olivia O’ visits Greek island of Ithaca (video)

Super-yacht Olivia O has been recently seen in the bay of Skinos for days on the island of Ithaca, protothema.gr reports.

The vessel did not enter Vathi but remained in Ithaca for 3 days, before sailing off for some island hopping and then returning for another three days.

The planning and engineering work started on the boat in November 2016 and earlier in 2020 the super-yacht was finally delivered to her experienced owner.

The 88.5 m motor yacht is not typical in style, she features a trademarked reverse-bow design called the X-Bow.

She is owned by Eyal Ofer, a Monaco based billionaire, active in shipping and real estate. He is not the last man in shipping indeed since in 2014 Eyal was ranked number 7 in Lloyd’s List 100 People in Shipping. With the net worth, which is estimated at US$ 9.4 billion, he definitely can afford this US$ 200 million luxury superyacht. Eyal is Chairman of Ofer Global, Zodiac Group, and Global Holdings. His father Sammy Ofer was Israel’s wealthiest man.

Some of her impressive highlights are a big swimming pool on the main deck aft and a helicopter deck with a D-value of 16. Olivia O offers accommodation up to 20 guests in 8 cabins, including Pullman bunks while crew accommodation is for 30 people.

The incident that happened on a charter vessel will surely never be repeated on the Japanese billionaire’s under-construction yacht, Project Cosmos.

Do you have any idea how many of these 'Olympic editions' were manufactured?

The story of the Moscow gold: How the Spanish war was lost

Francisco Olaya 'El Oro de Negrin'

(Ediciones Madre Tierra, Mostoles 1990)

This book is the product of almost thirty years investigation, involving examination of thousands of books and pamphlets, around a million documents, and the combing of 32 archives in Spain and beyond. Olaya's work is an attempt to come up with a satisfactory explanation of the denouement of the Spanish civil war. He is highly critical of the leadership of the PSOE (Socialist Workers Party of Spain, now in power) during the civil war.

In great and documented detail Olaya examines the whole topic of what has hitherto been known as the 'Moscow gold' and which he re-christens 'Negrin's gold', gold to the tune of 5,500 million pesetas (1937). About half of this sum wound up in the Soviet Union. A small portion went to France. The remainder passed to the republican government's purchasing commissions, set up by Indalecio Prieto of the PSOE to obtain war material.

In 1954 Jose Peirats was commissioned by the CNT -in-exile to write his monumental five volume 'La CNT en la revolucion espanola'. In the course of his researches he was accorded access to documentation belonging to the CNT and in London in the keeping of Polgare. When Polgare died in 1957, access to the documents was offered to Olaya by CNT colleagues aware of his researches. Among the documents, he discovered copies of 52 letters written to Negrin by his special agent, identified only as 'C'.

One of the reports from 'C' is an account of an exchange between Salvador do Madariaga (the philosopher and original wartime Ambassador to Britain) and the British Foreign Minister, in which British preoccupation with helping the Francoist side was evident. Olaya, using textual clues, attempted to Identify 'C'.

At first Olaya suspected one Calvino, who had figured in all the Purchasing Commissions ('C' had complained of corruptions by these commissions). Calvino however denied this and further investigations led Olaya to conclude 'C' had been PSOE luminary Celestino Alvarez. This was confirmed to him by two agents who had been operating on behalf of the CNT - FAI in Paris at the time. Further inquiries led Olaya to records from Turkish customs and cargo checks (by a French secret agent) of shipping that passed through the Dardanelles en route to Spain with foodstuffs and war materials. Olaya lists this information in an appendix to his book.

A record of the accidental discovery (at the bottom of a crate of goods being returned to the USSR as defective or unusable) of gold led Olaya to query the conventional account of the shipment of Spain's gold reserves to the USSR 'for safe keeping'. Other seemingly unrelated evidence led to the conclusion that, aside from the usual shipments, gold was removed from Spain via the diplomatic pouch to Prague and, also, unrecorded, aboard other vessels.

Olaya holds that the war was lost by the republic due to corruption in the Purchasing Commissions plus the failure of Negrin and Prieto (when so informed by 'C') to take remedial action.

Olaya argues that half of the gold reserves were was sent to the USSR and half to France, partly for their use of the Purchasing Commissions and partly to open accounts in the name of specific individuals… an account in Negrin's name held 390 million francs, one in the name of Julio Lopez Masegase held 198 millions. Olaya's book details all these. He says that so far no account has been taken of the assets seized from Franco's supporters, reckoned at almost three times the value of the gold held in Spain's treasury.

Franco was later able to recover a part of what had been described as Negrin's personal treasure. Negrin's ability to realise the value of his gold in France makes nonsense of the claim that gold had to be removed to the USSR for safekeeping. Olaya states: 'I wanted to check out everything sold by C who was Negrin's informant on activities taking place abroad but I wanted confirmation from other sources. To my surprise, I was to amass a wealth of documents that confirmed and expanded upon the whole business'.

In 1988 Olaya's book in manuscript was a finalist for the 'Espejo de Espana' prize awarded by Planeta publishers. However, Planeta refused to publish it, as did all of the other major publishers in Spain. As a result, the book has been issued by Ediciones Madre Tierra (Mother Earth) of Mostoles. Its author claims: 'The book is based on documents and we are not championing any interests or making partisan propaganda, merely telling the whole truth'.

The book's appearance has coincided with a PSOE desire to sell itself to the electorate under the slogan of '100 years of Integrity with the Socialist Party'. Olaya himself has explained 'it may appear that the book has emerged at an opportune time, but no, that is mere coincidence'. ~ Paul S.
