Emir is a yacht built in 1985 as a passenger vessel by the shipyard of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. In 2002 she was sold and converted into a superyacht and renamed O'Mega.[1] One year later the steel motor yacht was completed and handed over to the owner. She was number 29 in the Power & Motor Yacht magazine's list of the World's 100 Largest Yachts 2008.[2] In 2011 she underwent a refit and her hull colour was changed from black to white.[1]
