Olympus


This is Olympus
What's in a name? When it comes to yachts, Feadship estimates that fully 90 per cent of names are given by women, but that is unlikely to have been the case with this 55.00-metre yacht. Delivered to Prince Jefri Bolkiah in 1996, she’s definitely the most infamously named superyacht ever delivered. Sailing from the Dutch waters for Brunei, the crew immediately became aware of the ongoing challenge this name would come to present. "On the radio, there would be this incredulous silence on the other end, after which we'd be asked to repeat and then spell out her name," noted an ex-crew member.
