Emir is a yacht built in 1985 as a small passenger vessel by the shipyard of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. In 2002 she was sold and converted into a superyacht and renamed O'Mega.[1] One year later the steel motor yacht was completed and handed over to the owner. She was number 29 in the Power & Motor Yacht magazine's list of the World's 100 Largest Yachts 2008.[2] In 2011 she underwent a refit and her hull colour was changed from black to white.[1]

Design

Georgia Ntota & Associates and the award-winning Studio Vafiadis have designed the yacht. All of her indoor and outdoor furniture was made to order at Italy’s most exclusive luxury yacht designer houses, using materials of the highest quality. The interior and exterior layouts were originally designed by Studio Vafiadis, where vertical lines in the interior are balanced by the organic shapes of the furniture layout, while the exterior curvy hull lines create a perfect balance with the round-shaped outdoor furniture. The interior décor includes a variety of backlit onyx wall panels with attractive shapes and consistent lighting throughout the yacht. The oval-shaped exterior pillars create a floating environment, while her stainless-steel mirror finish and LED strip lighting all around emphasize the symmetry.[3] The vessel has an overall length is 82.60 m (271.0 ft) and beam of 11.58 m (38.0 ft). She can accommodate 28 passengers and 28 crew members.[4]

Her main engines are two Yanmar diesel engines which can each generate 2,000 bhp while consuming 800 litres (180 imp gal; 210 US gal) of fuel per hour at 650 rpm giving her a maximum speed of 17 knots (31 km/h; 20 mph) and a cruising speed of 15 knots (28 km/h; 17 mph).[4]
