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.

Greeks third in super-yacht ownership

Greek shipowners represent the world’s biggest merchant marine fleet, but also the third largest fleet of super-yachts (40 meters and over). Greece’s seas are also the fourth most popular destination for these luxury vessels, with more than 100 super-yachts with an average length of 50 meters sailing or at anchor within two miles of the country’s shores every week of the summer months.

The findings from two recent reports by Knight Frank and Bloomberg have come as something of a surprise, even to experts in the field of luxury yachting, and show the sector growing at rapid pace in recent years, alongside tourism. This also boosts docking and repair services – as dozens of these vessels will also be spending the winter in Greece – along with the super-yacht construction sector in this country.

Lists of the world’s biggest yachts already include several built in Greece, such as the Atlantis I and Atlantis II, constructed in the early 1970s at the Skaramangas Shipyard when it was owned by Stavros Niarchos, but also the 85-meter O’Ptasia, which was built in Perama earlier this year for Greek-owned Golden Yachts.

At the same time, an entire industry of builders, suppliers, crews, brokers and managers has taken root, promising high-quality services to some of the most demanding individuals in the world, while supporting the Greek economy with a high value-added activity.

Knight Frank, one of the world’s biggest private wealth investment managers, has dedicated a part of its Wealth Report 2018 to super-yacht ownership by nationality and size. Setting the category threshold at 40 meters and above and using data from SuperYacht iQ, the report notes there are currently 4,795 leisure craft that can be described as super-yachts in the world right now. When it comes to such vessels, Greece, with 107, ranks behind Russia (168) and the US (407) in terms of absolute ownership numbers. The average Greek-owned super-yacht is 50 meters in length, Russia’s is 59 meters and the US’s 52.

Fourth place is occupied by the UK with 96 super-yachts and Saudi Arabia with 54, while the average length in the latter’s fleet is 68 meters.

Many of these super-yachts, particularly those owned by Greeks and Saudis, sail in Greek waters, which data show are the fourth busiest in terms of super-yacht traffic, behind the US, French and Italian seas. This interesting fact was reported by Bloomberg, which used the AIS ship tracking system, which most super-yachts are equipped with, and found that over a random period during the summer season there were at least 100 super-yachts of an average length of 51.7 meters at a distance of two miles from the country’s coast, compared with 200 in Italy, 147 in France and 143 in the United States. Spain comes a close fifth, with Croatia and Monaco lagging in sixth and seventh place.

It is worth noting that the presence of these luxury vessels also helps boost the popularity of smaller yachts – as is more than evident in Greece’s seas in the summer – but also the development of the country’s marinas and investor interest in them, foremost among which is Alimos Marina on Athens’s southern coast, which is set for privatization.

Over in the Piraeus suburb of Perama, workers at the Golden Yachts shipyard are building the biggest mega-yacht ever to have been constructed there. Started just a few months ago, it is a 95-meter behemoth and the company’s most ambitious project to date, known in-house as the GY95.

Golden Yachts, which is entirely Greek-owned, has already built or completely converted 14 yachts. Among these, the O’Ptasia was launched in April and completed a series of successful tests runs in the early summer. At 85 meters in length, with a maximum width of 13.8 meters and a cruising speed of 16 knots thanks to its twin 3,386hp Caterpillar 3516C engines, it is the biggest ship in the Golden Yachts fleet – at least until the GY95 is rolled out. The company, meanwhile, is also making plans to start building 100-meter-plus mega-yachts.

Golden Yachts opened in 1996 as a consultancy firm and entered construction in 1998, with the O’Rea. It started by specializing in the construction of leisure boats of 28 to 85 meters, but has now put its focus on cutting-edge, super-luxurious yachts of 60 to 110 meters. It owns many of the vessels it has built, as the aim from the outset was chartering. The firm is also active in manning and managing mega-yachts through a separate company.

Power boats also a growing market

Not a lot of Greek businesses can claim that their products are coveted around the world from Sydney to Miami and from the Maldives to Helsinki, but Technohull can. The designer and builder of cutting-edge rigid inflatable boats (RIBs) is based in the coastal Athens suburb of Alimos and has production facilities at the eastern Attica port of Lavrio.

The export-oriented company is active in the high-end part of the international market for luxury power boats, selling its products at surprisingly competitive prices – as much as 40 percent below the competition. How does it do this?

“With a lot of hard work but also with restraint in regards to our profit margin,” says Gerassimos Petratos, chairman and CEO of Technohull.

In 2005, the company was able to put together two or three boats a year. Last year it delivered 50 vessels and this year it is aiming for 70. At the same time, sales have soared from a few hundred thousand euros in the second half of the 2000s to just shy of 10 million euros last year. And from a staff of three in 2005, Technohull now employees 50 people part-time and works with 20 associates and contractors.

Around 70 percent of the company's clients are located abroad, with Technohull exporting all over Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, parts of the Middle East, Australia and the US, among others.

“The amounts we invest in research and development are among the highest in the world in this field, comparative to our size,” says Petratos.

Now, the Greek company has set its sights on being able to deliver 100 boats a year by 2020. To this end, it is also looking to expand its production facilities and investing further in product development and design.

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 .

Golden Yachts has a gleaming new fleet member on the high seas.

The European firm, which was founded in the late ‘90s, just launched a new superyacht from its shipyard in Greece. The 289-footer, which has been dubbed Project X, aims to blend British architecture with Italian elegance and European savoir-faire. The sleek exterior was penned by Ken Freivokh Design in the UK, while the interior was conceived by Massari Design of Italy. Construction, meanwhile, was carried out at the Golden Yachts facility in Athens.

Project X has left the Golden Yachts shipyard in Greece.  Golden Yachts

The combination of cultures appears to have worked in Project X’s favor, too. The nearly 3,000 GT interior is centered around an exquisite atrium that connects three of the five decks. The luxe living space, which can be navigated via a number of glass elevators, has been outfitted with some 150 different materials, including leather, marble and timber.

Project X can sleep up to 14 guests across seven staterooms, a VIP and an owner’s suite. Elsewhere, seafarers will have the run of a spacious gym on the sundeck, a beach club to the aft, a large glass-enclosed swimming pool and a spa with a Turkish Hammam and Finnish Sauna. There’s also a giant 18-seat marble dining table on the upper deck for alfresco entertaining.

The new superyacht spans 289 feet from tip to tail.  Golden Yachts

As for grunt, twin Caterpillar engines give Project X a top speed of 17.5 knots and a range of 6,000 nautical miles when traveling at a cruising speed of 14 knots. The superyacht also sports a helipad forward to accommodate a chopper and a garage for all the other toys.

Golden Yachts has launched a number of luxury yachts in recent years. Most notably, the 312-foot O’Pari in 2020 and the 270-foot O’Ptasia in 2018. The yard has also carried out a number of meticulous refits. Perhaps you could say Golden Yachts has the Midas touch.
