It has a $200 million price tag, and its annual costs are around $20 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While the yacht may look strange, its amenities are luxurious. They include room for up to 30 crew and 14 passengers, a helipad, dual Rolls Royce engines, and an over 30-foot-long swimming pool.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;You shouldn&#8217;t have to suffer such an ugly ship spoiling that great view,&#8221; an unimpressed commenter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/yachtporn\/comments\/1eyhp30\/comment\/ljed272\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:replied;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">replied<\/a> to the OP.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Olivia O has certainly been called out for its vibes-shattering looks before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Arguably more ugly than the boat itself is its impact on the environment. While it&#8217;s unclear exactly how Olivia O adds individually, superyachts are one of the most polluting toys the ultra-wealthy can own.
