Olivia O: Ulstein Verft's 88 Metre Espen Øino-Designed Explorer Yacht

Designed and built by a Norwegian yard that is better known for commercial vessels, ferries and workboats, Olivia O is characterised by her striking reverse bow and explorer profile.

It is believed to be the first time that Ulstein’s trademarked X-Bow has appeared on a yacht. The design reduces pitching in heavy seas, while piercing smaller waves, and allowing comfort at faster speeds.

Her reported gross tonnage just shy of 5000 makes her one of the roomiest yachts for her 88 metre length, with accommodation over five decks and a bridge perched high and forward.

Designer  Espen Øino  says that the owner, who is in commercial shipping, initially planned to convert an existing workboat, with diesel-electric propulsion and a single-level engine room. “He came to my office and we started sketching out ideas based on a big empty deck at the back, where they carry gear.

“We had an offer to buy a ready-built 83 metre brand new, but in the end, we decided not to do that because there was a lot of gear on board that strictly speaking you don’t need and would cost a lot to take out.

“So we thought that we’d better design a new platform with  Ulstein , built on their existing one – the propulsion and engine room are identical.”

To make the boat more practical for private use, Øino extended the draught at the transom to avoid the sort of slamming that can make tender operations a nightmare.

“It is less optimised for hydrodynamic performance, but takes into account tender manoeuvres. We also raked the bow much more, to make it look quite racy – it is different to the first sketches.”

The bare hull was delivered in 2018 and taken to the Palumbo yard in Malta for painting, fairing and fitting out. “In Norway, bringing in subcontractors to work on the fairing and painting is very expensive,” explains Oeino.

The interior fit out took place in the dry dock at Palumbo by Droulers of Milan. They are better known as interior architects, but have recently worked on yachts including 73 metre  Yalla  and the owner’s existing 70 metre  Olivia .

Nathalie Droulers describes how she produced an orientally themed and primitive interior for the owner’s wife. “The client had a really clear idea that she wanted to start with a Japanese mood.

“We used four different types of wood and tried to combine it in a really Japanese way with borders. Each deck is identified by wood - light and dark on each of the two guest decks, then combined together in the living and dining rooms.

“We have used a lot of metal, because we like the idea of this industrial look of the owner’s ships. Windows have steel borders; corridors have painted metal ceilings.

“There’s no marble in the bathrooms – nothing! We have used something like Italian terrazzo, which is quite a rough material made of cement with a little bit of stone mixed in. Of course, we couldn’t use cement on a boat, but we used a special resin to get the same effect.”

Droulers describes the overarching style as ‘rationalist’, with lots of textures and simple, pale colours. “We wanted to be very sharp. We kept long corridors, because it gives the ship length and dimension. We didn’t want to destroy the essential elements, but we tried to soften parts for easier living.”

Olivia O can sleep up to 20 in eight cabins, including Pullman bunks. “The height of the cabins is 2.70m; they are like hotel rooms,” says Droulers. “They are finished to a very high standard and each one has its own space.” Crew accommodation amounts to 30 people.

There is a small spa that caters for guests rather than the owner. “The clients are very sporty and they live the outside more than the inside. It is kind of a service to the guests, but not big; same with the gym,” says Droulers.

However, there is a bigger cinema room because the family likes to watch movies together, and there is a host of superyacht paraphernalia, including a large swimming pool and a helipad.

There is a sprinkling of Italian designer furniture, but much has been custom built by Merritt in Ohio. “We knew them for a job together in New York. They produce extraordinary quality,” says Droulers.

Nonetheless, she says that the logistics of working with companies in the US and in Germany for installation by local contractors in Malta has been punishing. “It has been a challenge. When they first rang me up, I said, “no thanks” because the scale of the yacht was very large.”

Olivia O draws 4.4m and has fastest recorded speed of 16.6 knots according to AIS data from _BOAT International’_s BOATPro.

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.

Quick Enquiry

"People who charter a yacht tend to want as many experiences as they can in a short space of time. It’s essentially a vacation in compressed format, so the yacht needs to collaborate with you in that. You need lots of different places to eat on board, so every day offers something different. The yacht also needs to make getting ashore easy, for meals on the beach and excursions, so it feels like you never do the same thing twice." - Espen Øino
