Review: Christensen Yachts 160' "ODESSA"

 
 
Review Tools Rate Review
Three custom-embroidered helm seats stand ready on the bridge, overseeing Odessa’s completely equipped helm boasting every category of the latest communications gear, including SATcom, KVH Broadband Tracphone, Seatel 400s VSAT, Panasonic Telephone system, Furuno SSB and VHF, Erikson Cellular Quad Band, Raymarine Haler, Great Circle Network Access. Her Nav systems: Radar, Gyrocompass, Magsystems, Depth Sounders, GPS, Chart Plotters, Furuno Navtex with Printer; Night Vision Cameras by Ocean Systems, Zeus model. All systems: state-of-the-art.
Odessa’s architecturally clean, centrally located, carved wood staircase sweeps down in a semi-circular pattern from the Skylounge to the main deck and lower deck. Possibly the only curves to be found throughout the vessel.
Entering the main salon from the aft, you are met with an established crisp, lineal pattern, suggesting a strict formality, still bearing a richness of tone in fabrics and leather upholstery that invites. Squared-off lighting fixtures echo windows and seating.
This alternate view of Odessa’s Salon emphasizes its richness of design in furnishings and choice of shades, accenting its mood towards restfulness and comfort. Deep carpeting adds to the soothing aura.
A spectacular, lighted aquarium displays a myriad collection of tropical fish and ocean life, providing a room separator between the salon and dining areas.
Along Odessa’s wide aisles, both port and starboard, next leads to her elegant, separate Formal Dining room, seating twelve. Forward (to the right in this pic), a set of three sliding doors reveal Odessa's fine dinner ware, with the third door giving the option to close-off the main foyer for privacy.
Odessa’s onshore dockwise entry is centered, at starboard. Her wide foyer features perfectly matched veneers and woods, all stained in splendid brown shades, matching the hues of flooring, cabinets, and staircase. Original artworks stand at ready display. Security cameras monitor all areas, networked through Creston A/V control center; Sony Networks w/zoom; Cameras onboard via Creston system monitor every angle and view; coordinated so each camera cues to zoom in on every picture.
Conveniently located just off the main entryway, her simple Dayhead is nevertheless stylishly designed, in portoro stone, sporting a large vanity mirror and ultra-modern fixtures.
Following her rich black/white, silver and antique tawny brown granite theme, her deluxe Galley features Sub-Zero refrigeration/icemakers/wine storage. Cooking gear includes a Wolf oven, grill and cooktop with a Miele convection oven and Glo-Ray food warmer. A pair of Bosch dishwashers make double duty of clean-up. Complete professional-grade equipment all around for the happy chef.
Here also in Odessa’s Master’s office, featuring original artworks, decor is restrained, with a studied use of color, fabrics; semi-formalized seating arrangements. The plan, as elsewhere, follows the same exacting, slide-rule positioning of each element.
Comfortable, rich, but not gaudy, the Master Stateroom is dominated by a king-size berth and a giant flat-screen TV. At center on the Main Deck, forward, full beam, it boasts the size of a prominent, up-scale apartment. Shown here, a view towards the adjacent sitting room, with day sofa.
The Master from her opposite beam, viewing toward the owner’s individual private desk and its ultimate view of the horizon, for contemplating worldwide business decisions.
Glorying in its soothing lime green Esmerelda Quartzite, top to bottom, her spacious Master’s Bath features a large, raised bathtub, plus his and hers sinks and perimeter lit mirror. Cool in contrast to the earth-tones found throughout the rest of the yacht, the marble floor is kept warm with a subsurface heating element. To port, a separate shower is marbleized right down to an infinity floor drain with a built-in gas shock to aid in lifting the marble floor for drain cleaning. It's the details that make the difference in professional yacht building!
Below, on the after-hours deck, Odessa shows grand spaciousness for her guests: ten – four doubles and a twin – in separate and well-designed, nicely appointed staterooms. Seen here, Odessa’s Main VIP Stateroom, a full-beam singular cabin larger than other guest cabins.
The ensuite bath boasts a large, glass-enclosed shower as well as a white onyx bathtub and individual head. As an example of the finish found in Christensen's marble work, notice the reflection of the back lit mirror against the opposing marble wall in the background.
