Golden Yachts Launches 78m Superyacht O'Rea

By Heather Collier

Greek Shipyard Golden Yachts has announced the launch of its 78-metre superyacht O'Rea, previously dubbed as 'the new generation of Golden Yachts.'

Created alongside long-time collaborator Stefano Vafiadis, O'Rea offers a contemporary feel that pays homage to previous models.

Boasting a total of eight guest suites, this luxurious vessel can host up to 16 guests, with a large owner's stateroom that includes an adjoined private office area.

Additional staterooms can be found across the upper and main deck, a similar arrangement to the layout of one of the shipyard's major milestones, Project X, which made her world debut at the Monaco Yacht Show in October 2022.

Her interior designer Massari Design has used over 250 finishes, materials and precious stones to decorate the stunning, cavernous interior spaces.

Key features include two inviting, glass-bottom swimming pools with underwater lighting, a grand piano, a spa consisting of a Finnish sauna, a hammam, massage room and medical room, a beauty salon, a guest elevator, satellite communications, a spacious beach club and deck Jacuzzi, WiFi and air conditioning.

O'Rea is built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, with teak decks. Powered by twin diesel Caterpillar (3516E) 16-cylinder 3,433hp engines running at 1800rpm, she can comfortably cruise at 16 knots, reaching a maximum speed of 18 knots.

With her delivery expected to take place next month, O'Rea is set to join the shipyard's charter fleet alongside their associated brokerage firm, Atalanta Golden Yachts.

O'Rea is scheduled to make her global debut at the 2023 Monaco Yacht Show this September.

By Nina Done   21 April 2022

The newest addition to the Golden Yachts fleet has just been launched from their Vouliagmeni yard in Greece . The majestic 88m (289ft) superyacht known as Project X is the second-largest yacht to be launched from the Greek yard, following the celebrated launch of 95-meter superyacht O’PARI in 2020.

The yacht's exterior design has been helmed by British design studio Ken Freivokh. Key features include a curved raked bow and cascading decks culminating in a large beach club area to the aft. A further prominent feature is her triple ‘X’ paneling amidships that conceals a 3-deck atrium connected by a grand circular glass elevator.

The yacht's interiors are the work of Massari Design, who have purportedly re-worked 150 different materials into the guest areas, including rare leathers, marble and wood. 

The yacht places heavy emphasis on alfresco living, which is evident across her 5 cascading decks and includes a 7.5-meter by 3-meter glass-sided swimming pool on her aft main deck and vast beach club featuring comfortable lounging area and bar, alongside a wellness suite with Hammam and Finnish Sauna. 

Her wellness amenities continue up on her sundeck which houses a fully-equipped air conditioned gymnasium promising guests glorious views as they work out.

Her vast 14.8-meter beam will effortlessly accommodate 12 guests across seven luxury cabins, comprising an Owner’s deck complete with private terrace and Jacuzzi and further VIP suite, both housed on her bridge deck. 

The yacht boasts an impressive 6,000 nm mile range at a decent cruising speed of 14 knots, maxing out at 17.5 knots.

She is now ready for final finishing and is expected to begin sea trials in the coming weeks before being delivered to her owner. Upon delivery, It is not yet known whether she will become available for luxury yacht charters .

First look: Inside Golden Yachts' 36m O'Neiro

Greek shipyard Golden Yachts has provided a first look inside its 36.1-metre superyacht O'Neiro. She was launched in November 2022 and will be delivered later this year.

The GRP hull started life at the Cantieri di Pisa shipyard as an Akhir 118 model before she was inherited by Golden Yachts and completed at its shipyard outside of Athens in Greece. The finished vessel has been designed by in-house architect Dimitra Agapitou who has added a "refined new vision" to the classic lines of its former shipyard's sporty Akhir line.

O'Neiro will go on to charter with Atalanta Golden Yachts .   Her name — meaning "dream" in Greek — ticks plenty of boxes for a charter vessel, with a vast beach set-up and an array of water toys, including inflatables, jet ski and Seabobs. A Williams Jet Tender is on hand is whisk guests ashore. 

Meanwhile on the interior, the large windows and her interior palette create a light-filled atmosphere. The combination of smokey taupe and mellow hues, with sage, pewter and touches of oyster are contrasted by the dark moka wooden floors, natural straw and marbles. 

The open-plan main saloon plays host to a formal dining area, an intimate bar set-up and a generous lounging area for guests to relax.

Much like the interior, modern design extends to the deck arrangements. The yacht is crowned with its spacious flybridge layout boasting varying configurations of lounging areas for outdoor living alongside alfresco dining options. The yacht benefits from further alfresco dining enjoyed aft. 

For entertainment on deck, she hosts state-the-art speakers. 

O’Neiro offers accommodations for 11 guests across six cabins. All cabins feature contemporary aesthetics with adjustable ambience controlled by the Crestron automation audiovisual system touch panels. 

On the lower deck sits the master suite accompanied by two twins and two doubles. There is an additional multi-use cabin with a sofa bed on the main deck. All cabins are en-suite, clad in marble with walk-in rain showers. 

The completion of O'Neiro comes at a busy time for Golden Yachts, with the launch of 66-metre O'Eva completed earlier this month.

Follow our news, recent searches, what we know about the 22 people aboard the yacht that sank off sicily, advertisement.

British tech tycoon Mike Lynch, his 18-year-old daughter and Jonathan Bloomer, the chairman of Morgan Stanley International, are among those missing.

LONDON:  The British-flagged luxury yacht The Bayesian capsized early on Monday (Aug 19) off the coast of southern Sicily with 22 people aboard.

Here's what is known about the 12 passengers and 10 crew members, believed to have hailed from Canada, France, Ireland, Myanmar, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, the United Kingdom and the United States.

THE MISSING

British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah Lynch are among those unaccounted for, according to Italy's Civil Protection Agency.

Lynch, once dubbed the British "Bill Gates", founded software firm Autonomy in the 1990s but its US$11 billion sale to Hewlett-Packard in 2011 saw him face fraud charges in the US.

A jury in San Francisco acquitted the 59-year-old and a co-defendant of all charges in June.

It is understood he organised the yacht trip as a post-trial celebration for family, as well as some of his lawyers and employees.

His missing daughter was set to study English at Oxford University after finishing school this year, The Times reported.

Jonathan Bloomer, the 70-year-old British chairman of Morgan Stanley International, and his wife Judy, a charity trustee, are also among those missing , UK insurer Hiscox said on Tuesday.

American lawyer Chris Morvillo - a partner at the high-profile Clifford Chance law firm, who worked on Lynch's recent US fraud trial - is also missing along with his wife Neda.

Confirming the pair were not accounted for in a statement on Tuesday, a Clifford Chance spokesperson said: "We are in shock and deeply saddened by this tragic incident."

ONE BODY FOUND

The body of one man was found in the sea a few hours after the disaster unfolded off Porticello, east of Palermo.

Officials have said he was the yacht's chef, with different media outlets naming him as either Ricardo or Recaldo Thomas.

He is reportedly Canadian-born and had been living in Antigua.

THE SURVIVORS

Lynch's 57-year-old wife, Angela Bacares, who is also Hannah's mother, was among the survivors, officials have confirmed.

She was seen in a wheelchair after suffering abrasions on her feet, according to the Italian newspaper La Repubblica.

The paper reported she had been taken to a regional hospital, where she told doctors the boat began to tilt at around 4am local time, waking Bacares and her husband.

She had then climbed up to the deck to assess the situation when the vessel suddenly started to capsize, the paper said.

Briton Charlotte Golunski, 35 - a partner at Lynch's investment firm Invoke Capital who previously worked at Autonomy - her partner James Emslie and her one-year-old daughter also survived.

Golunski told La Repubblica they made it out alive because they were on deck when the yacht sank, describing in dramatic detail holding her baby above the surface of the sea to save her.

She said a lifeboat then inflated and 11 people eventually climbed in, with all three family members unharmed.

Ayla Ronald, 36, a London-based lawyer for Clifford Chance originally from New Zealand who also worked on Lynch's fraud case, "thankfully survived the incident", the law firm confirmed.

It noted her partner, believed to be named Matthew Fletcher, also made it out alive.

Her father Lin Ronald told various media outlets that she had texted him that they were "very shocked at the moment".

Other media reports have said another New Zealander, James Caulfield, 51, survived.

Meanwhile, Irish citizen Sasha Murray, 29, injured her right foot in the tragedy, according to the Irish Times.

Frenchman Matthew Griffith, 22, is also said to have survived.

The boat's crew are believed to include Sri Lankans as well as a citizen of Myanmar named as 39-year-old Myin Htun Kyaw, according to reports.

Whether your ideas are just starting to form or fully developed, whether your preferences lean traditional or avant-garde, we’re here to bring your vision to life.

Using advanced 3D rendering, we create lifelike scale images of your custom-built yacht, allowing you to see and understand its proportions in detail. With this clarity, you can confidently move forward with your project, having seen your vision firsthand.

Golden Yachts brings a fresh new approach to the yachting industry. Here you can use various materials and decors to create spaces that match the activities and atmospheres you envision.

Once your design is complete and you are fully satisfied with all plans, the actual construction can commence. Details may be added along the way; however the process continues smoothly to delivery. A vessel like no other, as unique as you are.

We understand that it is imperative for the industry in its entirety to implement sustainable solutions and we do our part by integrating technologies on board that limit the yacht’s environmental carbon footprint. We install high-tech wastewater treatment systems on our yachts to safely dispose waste water at sea in the most environmentally friendly way.

M/Y O’Pari is equipped with DPF systems, contributing to the reduction of pollutants.

M/Y O’Rea is an adopter of the International Maritime Organization’s Tier III emissions regulations that were introduced to limit emissions and water pollution. Additionally, the yacht’s dynamic positioning minimizes the impact of the anchor when dropped.

On board Project X we installed sustainable fish leather that are caught by hand. The tanning process uses natural ingredients, such as palm oil and tree bark rather than heavy metals

Eco transfer mode and emission reduction

We use ELIN’s new innovative fuels (Diesel Crystal Next and new Marine Gasoil Crystal Next) ensuring:

• Maximum protection and optimal performance of our yachts’ engines.
• Maximum economy in consumption and maintenance.
• Maximum environmental protection by minimizing harmful pollutants from exhaust gases.

As a result, fuel consumption can be reduced by up to 10% and emissions and smoke by up to 38% compared with traditional propulsion systems.

Special studies and close collaboration with lift specialists were key to successfully installing the largest round glass elevator ever to be installed on a superyacht. The lift has a diameter of 2,5 m and a capacity of 15 people.

The lift connects 5 decks ensuring actual and visual connection between them. The lift was specially designed to limit all mechanical and technical parts into two lateral columns, with minimum dimensions, allowing for unobstructed views all around.
