New York Launch Classic

Olympus is a one-of-a-kind heirloom vessel, embodying the best of the “Golden Age of Motoryachts.” Cruising aboard her is an experience never forgotten, as time slows down and guests feel they are living life to the fullest. This is a vessel to be cherished and an ownership opportunity that may never come again.

CONSTRUCTION

Original construction report: “Keel and timbers are of oak, keelson yellow pine, planking fir, and decks and deckhouses are of teak. Mahogany, in natural finish, is used for the interior of the big deckhouse.” reportedly the original Douglas fir planking was shipped to New York by rail from Oregon. Stem has been replaced in Ironbark. The vessel was recently re-fastened with bronze fasteners and new bronze keelbolts. Recent survey available, December 2011.

ACCOMMODATIONS

The vessel is arranged with all crew accommodations and maintenance accessed from the forward part of the boat, and all owner accommodations aft, making it possible for the crew to perform most tasks without ever having to interrupt the guests.

In the focsle are crew accommodations for four (with access from on deck or through the dining room.) Moving aft is a large space for pantry, refrigerated stores, washer/dryer, secure china and stemware stowage, with below deck wine and provisions storage. A steel bulkhead and door separates the pantry space from the engine room, with AC & DC electrical panels, 2 generators, watermaker, furnace, etc.

On the Main Deck forward is the large formal Dining Room with seating for eight. Immediately aft and a half deck up is the wheelhouse. Passing the wheelhouse on the port side leads to the fully equipped commercial galley, while passing aft to starboard leads to the main boarding area, with direct access aft to the Main Saloon. Aft of the Saloon is a wet bar area, and the fantail lounge space with partially enclosed dinette/sette and wrap-around fantail stern seating. The entire fantail area is enclosed in state-of-the art clear acrylic isinglass, with easy opening sliding panels port and starboard.

Owner/guest accommodations for eight are accessed from and directly below the Main Saloon. Stateroom No. 1, with queen size berth, is forward to port, with adjoining dressing room with head and shower. This head also has a separate entrance from the passageway for use as a day head if desired. The starboard forward stateroom also has a queen sized berth, and adjoins another head with shower, which also serves the starboard “bunk room”. The aft stateroom is a spacious double cabin with adjoining private head and shower.

The Upper Deck is accessed from a vertical ladder amidships starboard. On this deck is a variety of deck boxes, a chest freezer, life rafts and tenders – a 16’ Boston Whaler to port and the original 16’ lapstrake launch to starboard.

Olympus is a very special classic yacht with a strong, historical, provenance. She has entertained several presidents, heads of state, many movie stars and other dignitaries. She is in exceptional condition and she even smells good throughout. Olympus is for someone that appreciates and wants to experience the grand classic style of yachting and entertaining. She comes turnkey, with art work, glass wear, silverware, formal serving trays and dishes, etc., all stowed in custom, fitted, drawers and cabinets and ready to host a most elegant dinner party.  There isn’t another yacht near this price range that can entertain with ice carvings, a chef and stewards in uniform and get away with it without appearing too pretentious for the boat
