CHRISTINA O

CHRISTINA O is a 99.13-metre steel motor yacht with a hull dating to 1943, most recently refitted in 2025, and registered under the Maltese flag. Built by Canadian Vickers, she carries a documented history that connects her to significant figures in 20th-century maritime and political life, having formerly served as the private vessel of Aristotle Onassis. Designed externally by Caesar Pinnau and with interiors attributed to Apostolos Molindris & Associates, she accommodates up to 34 guests in 17 cabins and operates with a crew of 38. Twin MAN engines deliver a cruising speed of 15 knots and a maximum of 19 knots, with a range of 5,000 nautical miles and fuel capacity of 329,000 litres.

CHRISTINA O is available for yacht charter across a global range of destinations including the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Middle East, Adriatic, and Atlantic island groups. Her region list covers Greece, Turkey, Croatia, France, Italy, Malta, the Balearics, the Caribbean, Bermuda, Cuba, and beyond. This breadth suits clients seeking a vessel with genuine historical identity, large guest capacity, and the ability to cruise across ocean basins within a single season. She is not well suited to guests for whom age of hull construction is a disqualifying factor, or those who prefer a contemporary, newly built interior aesthetic.

A vessel of this age is evaluated on the standard of its most recent refit rather than its original construction. The 2025 refit represents a substantive investment in CHRISTINA O's continued commercial and operational viability. Onboard facilities include a swimming pool, spa, gymnasium, beauty room, deck jacuzzi, dance floor, children's playroom, elevator, at-anchor and underway stabilisers, satellite television, and full Wi-Fi connectivity. The combination of large capacity, historic identity, and the presence of a pool and dance floor establishes her as a vessel suited to events, corporate charters, and groups with a preference for an occasion-oriented experience.

The water sports inventory includes jet skis, flyboard, hoverboard, kayaks, paddleboards, a waterslide, towable inflatables, a banana boat for six, and snorkelling equipment. For a group of up to 34 guests, the variety and volume of equipment is functional. CHRISTINA O is best understood as a vessel that offers a layered experience — part historical artefact, part large-scale charter platform — in a size category that allows full use of her scale.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
