O'Mega before her refit, with blue hull

O`Mega is a luxury charter yacht. She was built in 1985 as a small passenger vessel from the shipyard of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. In 2002 she was sold and converted into a superyacht.[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]

Crew

O'Mega's permanent crew consists of the captain and 29 crew members.[1]

O`Mega has an overall length is 82.60 m (271.0 ft) and beam of 11.58 m (38.0 ft). She can accommodate 32 passengers and 26 crew members.[3]
