A yacht that completely rewrites what a 295-foot superyacht can look and feel like. Built in 2020 by @ulsteingroup, Olivia O is one of the very few private yachts to feature the signature X-Bow design—a forward-sloping bow traditionally reserved for commercial ships navigating the harshest seas. This isn't just for looks-it's a purposeful innovation that reduces pitching, enhances fuel efficiency, and ensures greater stability in rough conditions. Her profile is unmistakable: angular, industrial, and fiercely futuristic. With a 52.5-foot (16-meter) beam, she boasts a massive volume of 4,989 GT, making space for amenities like a cinema, gym, wellness center, and an entire owner's deck. And unlike most yachts of this size, she's powered by twin Caterpillar diesel-electric engines—a rare feature that allows for smoother, quieter cruising and better energy distribution. With exterior styling by @espen.oeino and interiors by @droulersarchitecture, Olivia O is a true fusion of Scandinavian minimalism and Italian sophistication. A yacht for someone who wants to stand apart-not just in size, but in vision. @yachtworld
Thirty hours into the 74th edition of the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, the four 100-ft Maxis at the front of the fleet were separated by a mere five-nautical miles with a little under 200-nautical miles still to complete. A close contest between the race leaders has ensued ever since yesterday’s memorable Sydney Harbour start. Although the race record is unlikely to be challenged, an exciting finale down the Derwent River into Hobart is forecast. There had been four retirements and the majority of the 81-strong fleet were negotiating the Bass Strait. Rolex has been Title Sponsor of the 628-nm race, organised by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia with the collaboration of the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania, since 2002.
