Who this yacht suits

CHRISTINA O is not a generic inventory pick. It is a better match when the client wants full-scale superyacht presence with formal service and serious deck space, a larger group day where deck flow matters, and a route shaped around Caribbean and Bahamas winter cruising.

Local route logic

The local decision is less about distance and more about timing. Around Caribbean and Mediterranean, CHRISTINA O should be planned with boarding point, lunch stop, swim time, and return window in one brief. In practice, match the yacht to the charter area before treating global availability as realistic.

Planning window

peak season dates, when cruising area, berth access, and crew availability should be checked early. For this yacht, confirm preferred dates, guest count, cabin needs, and cruising area together so the quote reflects the real plan. the final choice should account for weather, berth pressure, and how the group wants to spend time on board.

Guest experience

For guests, the difference is felt in pace: where people sit, how lunch is handled, where swimming fits, and how the return feels. CHRISTINA O should be evaluated against that rhythm, not only against specs.

Shortlist logic

CHRISTINA O should be compared against at least one alternative if the brief is flexible. The useful difference may be cabin layout, crew style, speed, toys, berth access, or how naturally the yacht fits Caribbean and Mediterranean.

Broker caveat

Ask the broker to state the limitation as plainly as the advantage. For CHRISTINA O, the check should cover availability, owner approval where relevant, cruising area, APA, fuel, and whether the planned route still works in real weather.

Overview

The 99.15m/325'4" 'Christina O' classic yacht built by the Canadian shipyard Canadian Vickers is available for charter for up to 34 guests in 17 cabins. This yacht features interior styling by Apostolos Molindris & Associates. Onassis epitomised the life of the superyacht elite, garnering a reputation as the original jetsetter, but following his death in 1975, Christina O fell into disrepair. Luckily, a meticulous restoration project led by a family friend of Onassis was completed in 2001 and, today, charterers can enjoy the resonance of her unique past with the ultimate in luxurious accommodation and on-board service. For refined luxury and elegance, look no further than classic yacht Christina O. Offering an array of sumptuous living areas coupled with superb amenities, you'll feel like Hollywood royalty aboard this spectacular vessel. Her features include a dancefloor, beauty salon, spa, elevator and gym.

Exterior Design

Styled in the early fifties by Caesar Pinnau, the exterior of Christina O easily stands out among other superyachts on today’s charter market thanks to her distinctive clipper bow, long sheer line, rounded superstructure and dazzling white topsides, and this is not forgetting her trademark, vibrant yellow funnel. A variety of vast open-air spaces across Christina O offer a multitude of options for lounging and socialising. The top level of the yacht, known as the compass deck, is well-primed for sunning, with a line of chaise loungers and a bar, while the spacious promenade deck below features an aft spa pool, and alfresco dining and bar setup. Most impressive is the main deck, where Onassis’ swimming pool has been faithfully restored with its renowned Minoan bull and vaulter mosaic. What’s more, the bottom of the pool can be raised to form a dance floor.

Interior Design

Christina O’s expansive interior was completely gutted during her most recent refit, with notable artefacts salvaged and sensitively restored. Aftermost on the main deck is the Lapis Lounge, named after its original lapis fireplace, which remains in place, and decorated in the style of an English country manor house. The main deck is also home to a dining salon with a 24-seater table, and the Aris Bar, which boasts its original rope-covered bar, whale fang bar handles and whale-skin bar stools. A majestic atrium with a striking mosaic of the Onassis omega logo then allows guests to access the two further salons on the promenade deck above via a spiral staircase.

Performance Range

Christina O is built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure. Powered by twin MAN engines, she comfortably cruises at 15 knots, reaches a maximum speed of 19 knots with a range of up to 5,000 nautical miles from her 329,000 litre fuel tanks at 10 knots. An on board stabilization system ensures comfort when underway.

Guest Accommodation

Known as the Onassis Suite, the yacht’s master stateroom stretches across the forward section of the bridge deck and comprises three rooms: large sleeping quarters, a white Penteli marble bathroom and a book-lined study. The latter is oak-panelled and boasts the original onyx fireplace, while the bedroom is illuminated by authentic Baccarat crystal wall lights, adding to its elegance. The other accommodation on board comprises 10 double staterooms on the main deck forward and eight convertible cabins on the lower deck.
