The Omega 56 is a compelling, yet relatively rare, piece of Eastern Mediterranean maritime history. Launched in 1990 by Olympic Marine—originally known as Olympic Yachts—at their Lavrio shipyard in Greece in collaboration with Isalos S.A., this fiftyonefoot flagship was conceived during a golden era of Greek yacht building. Designed by the respected naval architect Yanni Triatafilopolous, the Omega 56 was developed to address a challenging and specific brief: to serve as a luxurious, robust private offshore cruiser while withstanding the relentless, highwear environment of the Aegean charter trade. Olympic Marine had already established a reputation for building bulletproof cruiserracers and sturdy production hulls, including the Carter series and the Olympic Adventure 47. With the Omega 56, the yard integrated highvolume charter considerations with premium cruising amenities, producing a vessel of significant structural heft, massive tankage, and timeless styling.
