The Christina O Yacht oozes with the splendidness of Aristotle Onassis’ lifestyle, one of the only mega yachts in the world that can accomodate 36 guests in 19 staterooms - in full compliance with SOLAS, US Coast Guard and Public Health regulations.

The yacht was bought in 1954 and was extensvely renovated to suit the fine taste of Ari Onassis, spending a total of $4 million of his fortune on this project. Until his death in 1975, Christina O became his headquarters and held many glamorous parties on board with some of the world’s most famous people - from English royalty, presidents, and prime ministers to politicians and celebrity stars.

In 1978, the yacht was donated to the Greek government by daughter Christina Onassis and for some time, it became unused until a friend of the family repurchased the yacht and brought it back to glory. At present, it is available for charter and is the ultimate reception for any grand occasion. The Christina O has the following unparalleled, world-class amenities:
