In an industry of iconic imagery, there’s only one yacht which can truly be called the icon of superyachting. Christina O, the grand dame of the superyacht world, has every right to the title. Impressive, grand and stylish, luxurious, glamorous, and even magnificent are some of the superlatives that have been used frequently over the years to describe superyachts, and all sit well with the founding lady of the genre.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147281/image/large-12ec38cc5e6d4f0fb5fc6fc2dab8c5a7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147281">Add to that her own character, the unique way her history has been woven into that of the modern world, and we have a yacht loved for what she represents as much as her physical presence. And now, the superyacht holding one of the most colorful histories in the fabric of our industry, is being offered for sale. No better moment then, to take a look into the rich pages of Christina O's fairytale story of war, glamour, decline and renaissance.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147282/image/large-8c93b1f9a491ce6f40dff8889427fc70.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147282">Originally built for the Royal Canadian Navy as a River-class anti-submarine frigate, as part of North-Atlantic convoys during the Second World War, Christina O was first launched as the HMCS Stormont in 1943. Foreshadowing her future which would see her present for many a historic meeting and event, she was deployed during the Battle of the Atlantic and present at the D-Day landings.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147283/image/large-4f832ab6693c3d624964ed436c93a809.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147283"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147284/image/large-da42db0b5a422172f15ae5ed21442fe1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147284">It wasn’t until illustrious Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis - Ari to his friends - notedly bought the vessel for her scrap value, though, that she took up the mantle of power we associate with her today. Onassis infamously spent $4,000,000 to convert her into the legendary luxury private yacht she would become, catapulting her into yachting superstardom. Nowadays, this amount of money might seem unremarkable, as far as superyachts are concerned. However convert it to its contemporary equivalent of $45,000,000 and the true impact of the investment holds more weight. The impressive amount appealed to the imagination of the masses in the grim, wounded and broken-soul era of post-World War II Europe.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147285/image/large-2aaf3a3ffbb7c03f98a143b758741ddc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147285">Onassis was setting a new standard of luxury for people to look up to; a seamark of anticipation that would be considered illustrious, lavish and magical. In short, he created something worth dreaming about.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147286/image/large-98c1d4e59dc827a6b9afe4731531da39.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147286"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147287/image/large-b3cf6f731dcc54ee6ee848b07fd743bc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147287"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147288/image/large-f43646a0822a3f25e2bcb3ac0945049d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147288">After the extensive refit, which took her from surplus vessel to opulent superyacht, she was rechristened Christina O, named after Onassis' daughter and, for years to come, served as an iconic beacon of a glamorous lifestyle. Hosting a long procession of high-profile guests, she also functioned as a catalyst for many of the savvy owner's business endeavours. The fact that John F. Kennedy was first introduced to Winston Churchill onboard Christina, perfectly illustrates her status as an environment for some of the world's most influential people to meet. With most fellow superyacht owners at the time preferring privacy over publicity and discretion over openness, Aristotle Onassis and Christina O set a new standard for private vessels, the resonance of which has echoed down the industry to today’s yachts.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147289/image/large-4279b7d478362894c1e539d2425c62a3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147289">In postbellum Europe, Christina O's extensive range of famous and infamous guests reads as a who's who of Hollywood glamour, global politics and fine arts. Among the most notable were icons such as Eva Péron, Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe and Princess Grace of Monaco, whose wedding reception with Prince Rainier took place onboard in 1956. For years, Christina O was the stage for opulent parties and the unsurpassed amounts of media attention they inspired. The passionate and widely chronicled romance between Onassis and incomparable opera diva Maria Callas was just one of many illustrious chapters, though it ended in Onassis marrying former-first lady Jacqueline Kennedy. The marriage took place just off his private island of Skorpios, naturally onboard Christina O, resulting in a new generation of high profile guests being introduced to life onboard.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147290/image/large-069bceb19a137b2f4b861b29295592d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147290"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147291/image/large-d53773576f362e350872e285065b5479.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147291"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147292/image/large-0ba717812eececb2db9a47c6d19bd8b2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147292">A life that seemed like a fairytale, would soon take a turn for the worse, when Onassis' firstborn and only son Alexander died in a plane crash at age 24, in 1973. Merely two years after, the life of Aristotle Onassis himself came to a close, ending an unparalleled history of glamour, passion, wealth and extravagance for Christina O. Once home to the very soul of international society, she was willed to her namesake Christina Onassis, who in turn bestowed the vessel to the Greek government to use as the presidential yacht. As such, she was rechristened Argo and was, over time, allowed to decay and deteriorate to such a level that when, in the early 1990s, she was put up for sale, no interested buyers could be found.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147293/image/large-552e78d8613e618da3b5862c41e6921a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147293">In 1998, Argo was purchased by Greek shipowner John Paul Papanicolaou, a family friend of the Onassis dynasty. As a tribute, he renamed the superyacht Christina O, and, after an extensive refit programme, finished in 2001, returned the vessel to her former glory.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147294/image/large-15b86a9a9a3c7da5514aea9afb60c8a6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147294"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147295/image/large-d6aaecf9dbde7ef83e6fa17a51c56281.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147295"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147296/image/large-7802f4d57c1a8395a6ac0d28dbedc45a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147296">Sailing confidently into the new millennium, the legendary Christina O combined her uniquely-stylish past with lavish contemporary luxury. With an LOA of just over 99 metres, she boasted spacious exteriors and interiors, highlighted by a light, classic design scheme designed for warm ambiance which blended her iconic past seamlessly with her reinvigorated personality. Today, she offers an array of accommodation, with a lavish master suite and 18 guest suites, decorated throughout with her signature light, classic form, and with a number of living areas for guests to enjoy. Her spacious exterior decks are a stand out feature. The minotaur-themed swimming pool floor, which can be raised to form the aft deck dance floor, has been returned to its former glory - one of many original features to have had the restoration treatment. From Ari's bar to the Onassis suite, and a newly constructed Callas stage to the promenade deck helicopter platform, Christina O’s classic features ensure she’s still as impressive as she is legendary.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147297/image/large-669d129ba349f58f6993275a00b0ebcc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147297">Put aside the media attention and infamous stories, and Christina O is still an extremely special yacht. A tangible slice of history, not only for the superyacht industry but for society in general, with the decks still echoing with the many legendary guests who have paced their lengths over time. And this shining piece of modern history is now for sale, an icon in the truest sense of the word, up for grabs for the limited few who are able to appreciate her uniqueness.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147298/image/large-acffdd2a932ef13bf63bf556bd1c248c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147298">“There are probably about 10 or so people in the world who would be interested in buying Christina O. She carries such heritage that any buyer would be someone who wants to protect the historical background, as well as being able to afford it. They would probably also be someone who likes their privacy – as many of the guests who partied on Christina O did,” says Nicholas Edmiston, chairman of Edmiston &amp; Company.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147299/image/large-a85216a30766573e5f27d04c280ad26f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147299">As often as Christina O has been in the spotlight over the years, the essence of her grace and the secrets of her elegance have retained their mysteries over time. One thing is certain though she will remain a hostess of luxury, style and privacy, for anyone lucky enough to purchase her.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147300/image/large-e58ea2d7b851652dd27420653d89076a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/131567"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147301/image/large-120df73c9bd9ccedc988fc64c23ed3dd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147301"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/147302/image/large-030b04226f8f8fb877283815f98a2fc8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/147302">

The yacht's main deck is open-plan with hydraulic fold-down terraces opening up the space, while her upper deck features a large semi-alfresco dining area and a lounge to the aft. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331547/image/large-1faa486ebc92372eb5f4e6a8d634e482.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331547">&nbsp;On the decision to build the yachts at the shipyard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7235" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Orion Yachts (Company)">Orion Yachts</a>, Inigo commented, "We have chosen the Turkish shipyard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7235" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Orion Yachts (Company)">Orion Yachts</a> as our construction partner, which we are also working with for the build of the 44-metre Orion One. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7235" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Orion Yachts (Company)">Orion Yachts</a> is an extremely accomplished commercial shipyard which is now leveraging its build expertise to move into the superyacht sector.

We maintain a policy of continuous design development,” he adds.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329095/image/large-9a5ebe9e18ab2fbd87c4c128ae88b6fd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329095" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">“We constantly work to optimise our designs and construction methods to reduce the weight of our boats,” details Schutte. “This not only improves handling in and out of the garage but also reduces fuel consumption over the vessel's lifetime.”Highlighting in-house innovations that make the Impetus series unique, Schutte further notes: “In addition to the variable geometry mould technology, we have adopted male moulding for some non-cosmetic parts. Notably, the structural grid has reduced production time slightly and cut energy consumption by a quarter, while reducing waste volume by up to three-quarters.”In line with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3619" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yachtwerft Meyer Gmbh (Company)">Yachtwerft Meyer</a>’s commitment to sustainability, hybrid or fully electric drive options are available for this series.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329094/image/large-4ef8011cd8df6715b475fcb7478453a1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329094" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"> Exploring hybrid and fully electric drive optionsMichael Schutte reveals the latest advancements in drive technology for superyacht tenders. In collaboration with Torqeedo, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3619" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yachtwerft Meyer Gmbh (Company)">Yachtwerft Meyer</a> has developed a fully electric version of its Silverline open tender, showcased at the Monaco Yacht Show this year. Schutte notes that while electric drives offer a zero-emission alternative, they come with a weight penalty and limited autonomy, similar to current electric cars. Nonetheless, they meet many mission needs and represent a significant step toward sustainability.Looking ahead, Schutte and his team are focusing on a fuel cell system to overcome the limitations of fully electric drives. “Small fuel cells are now being used in vehicles with specific mission profiles,” he explains. “We are working on a zero-emission hybrid system that could address the current range limitations of electric drives.” The anticipated fuel cell technology could revolutionise the practicality of electric tenders, potentially making them a viable option for more large yacht owners in the near future.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/250090/image/large-f485eacb75c6691ffa5255347b2349e7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/250090">When discussing the benefits of hybrid versus fully electric drives, Schutte highlights the trade-offs. “The primary challenge with fully electric propulsion is weight and limited range due to battery storage capacity,” he says. In contrast, hybrid systems mitigate some of these issues by combining electric and internal combustion engines, reducing range anxiety. However, hybrids also introduce additional weight and complexity, including these associated with onboard charging systems. “While hybrid systems offer zero-emission operation in sensitive areas, the balance of risk and reward still leans towards the risk side due to these factors,” Schutte concludes.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329290/image/large-e76ab14c9380d7c998fa69f16ba6469c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329290">Integrating natural and innovative materialsMichael Schutte discusses the company's approach to integrating natural and innovative materials into their tender designs. While the team experimented with flax fibre cloths and bio-resins for laminating parts, they found that the additional weight required to match traditional strength led them to reconsider this practice. “Though we studied laminating with these materials, the weight penalty for equivalent strength has dissuaded us from making it standard,” Schutte explains.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327714/image/large-ccb57d627e75c82bd62a71fb97ef1cc4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327714">Despite these challenges, the company has successfully adopted alternative decking materials to replace scarce genuine teak. Schutte notes, “We have tested various alternative decking materials with positive customer feedback.” They are now exploring a super-light insulating foam from the aerospace industry, which Schutte believes could significantly reduce thermal gain and weight in engine spaces.Bio fabrics and resins are currently sourced from smaller manufacturers, but Schutte is optimistic that growing industry interest will improve their reliability and consistency. He notes that while small batch production can lead to variability in mechanical properties and might require more layers to match traditional materials' strength, the commitment to experimenting with these materials has already led to significant improvements. Schutte remains positive about the potential for bio materials, despite ongoing challenges.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327722/image/large-b420e3ca617fade23ad0cd7b05b01420.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327722">Towards a more sustainable future<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3619" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yachtwerft Meyer Gmbh (Company)">Yachtwerft Meyer</a> is deeply committed to environmental stewardship and sustainability.
