Urbsey said: ↑ Ulysses and Andromeda were sold faaaaar back in the days. Andromeda in Q3 '17 and Ulysses in Q2 '19 if I can recall right. And both of them were sold to the same new owner. Quality is, in my limited experience, quite poor, compared to more reputable German and Dutch yacht builders. Oh, and BTW they have/had a problem. Don't know how big, but something is wrong with intact and damaged stability of that vessel. Even in 2020 it was a (a bit quiet) problem, but at the end of 2021 it was also noted by their Classification Society DNV. Take a look under 'Conditions'. That Princess on the bow is quite high above the waterline and might also be one part of a problem. It's 45+ ton boat after all. VanDutches aren't really making anything good for it too. In September of 2022 they had a collision at anchor with M/V Charles Island in Panama. Under 'Conditions' above you can see that they had to go for repairs in Tampa, Florida. That's why they are there at the moment. Dry dock for sure, but it might also be in a shed. Click to expand...

KiwiRob said: ↑ In the IMO register Ulysses is still owned by Felham Enterprises, a lot of people are saying she has been sold but ownership at least according to IMO hasn't changed. Scratch that she's now owned by Dawn Redwood Investments Ltd. Click to expand...

Urbsey said: ↑ Felham Enterprises was the owner company from beneficial owner Mr. GH, yes. Also note when M/Y Here Comes the Sun changed hands. Hint: it was in Q4 '19, ownership changed to Ulysses II Ltd., management to Manta Maritime (Andromeda and Ulysses are still managed by them 'till this day). M/Y Here Comes the Sun also got a support vessel named U-81 last year. U-81 is owned by Ulysses IV Ltd. and managed by Manta Maritime. Click to expand...

Dear Madam, Not all owners of larger yachts are hiding their ownership for tax avoidance or other unmoral reasons. Grounds for liability are one very important reason to have a limited enterprise set in between the owner and the yacht. The risk to have a larger yacht registered and insured directly on your name is far to dangerous for the owner, especially in Europe. The smallest accident caused by Your crew or any enviromental damage caused by Your yacht can easily clear the deepest pocket. My 210 ft full displacement yacht for example is registered on my German based property management company. But this limited enterprise is registered on my name and private adress. And for all yachts and planes oft he family, the German VAT was fully payed. You may call that stupid but I like to live with the rule " Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's ". I have always made very good experiences with that type of business. The other problem is the flag state. Germany for example does not recognize yachts above 24 meters (CE classification) in length. They are either passenger ships, cargo vessels or as the only possible trick, scientific explorer vessels. But those rules make these "ships" not look like a yacht anymore, if You want it to fly for example the German flag. So my yachts are flying the Maltese Cross (means still EU flagged), are registered on my property management company and have only EU crew. But this allows, that for privacy reasons only the authorities have access to my personal name and private adress. Why not German crews: Also I have double crew on my yacht (means one on and one off duty) it is hard to find qualified German Yacht crews with the propper licenses for a EU flagged large yacht. My last German skipper was recruited from my commercial shipping company and his wife was my chief stew. They worked for me until they both retired. Their replacement came from Your country and my chief is from GB. I am very happy with them. But hiding the ownership (and its nationality) with 6 or more intermediary limited offshore enterprises for political reasons and tax avoidance is a different story. There are lawyer offices for example at Georgetown, Cayman Islands that have more enterprises, ships and large properties in their files than some capital town in Europe. And the banks in those offshore countries help the ownerships to clean their "black" money for spending it officially all over the world. It is very hard for the honest yacht owners among us to see the yacht owner moored next to You, laughing at You for paying taxes and obeying the rules. That is one of the reasons, I left Port Hercules several years ago for Mallorca and Ibiza. I could not stand the Russian Oligarchs moored next to us anymore. But I admit also for their behaviour! The international restrictions against these people and the seizure of their yachts has cleared some harbours in the Med nicely. The big boys from Russia have gone to the far east, Turkey and Montenegro. I hope we will see a lot less wild parties in the bars and restaurants of the hotspots in the Med this summer. I will definately not miss them. Just my 2 (Euro) cents HTMO9

Video: Life on board 107m explorer yacht Ulysses

When she was delivered to her owner back in March , the 107 metre Ulysses was hailed as the ultimate explorer yacht.

With rugged exterior styling by Oscar Mike  and a serious long-range cruising capability, it’s not hard to see why, but this new on board video shows that her interiors are just as impressive:

In the two-minute clip, we are given a glimpse of what a day on board Ulysses is like, with the guests arriving by helicopter before heading straight to the bridge to plan their next expedition.

Next up is a quick dip in Ulysses ’ aft deck swimming pool, which measures 11 metres long, before heading out onto the open water to try out wakeboarding, waterskiing and flyboarding.

As night falls, the guests move up to the upper deck for a formal meal, followed by after-dinner entertainment in the games room, complete with pool table and on board cinema.

The video also shows off Ulysses '  superyacht gym and her impressive storage capacity, which means you can explore on land with motorcycles, ATVs and dirt bikes.

One of the world’s largest explorer yachts , Ulysses can accommodate up to 30 guests and is manned by a crew of 30 people. Her globetrotting range of 8,500 nautical miles at 12 knots is made possible by a total fuel capacity of 470,000 litres.

The first superyacht launched by Norwegian commercial yard Kleven , Ulysses is currently offered for sale . Other projects currently under development at Kleven include the 116 metre K370 , which is due to launch next year.

Behind is the largest salon on board, offering two massive seating areas where guests can gather for a busy day or continue an evening or revelry. For recovery from a night of drinking, there is a steam room, sauna and plunge pool aft of the main salon, with a beauty room, massage room and gym located on the starboard side while on the port side a corridor leads out onto the main deck aft. The pool deck contains the majority of the guest accommodation, with two VIP staterooms and six double cabins. To the aft, there is a pool house that hosts a large dining table able to seat ten guests beside a bar, with an adjacent sitting room with three large sofas and two armchairs next to a fireplace.

On the boat deck, there are two forward VIP cabins, and guests have the choice of another spacious lounge in which to socialize and celebrate a special occasion. Both the lounge and formal dining area are easily serviced by the forward bar, which can also serve refreshments to guests watching a film in the cinema.

The owner's deck is equipped with his and hers en-suite bathrooms complete with walk-in wardrobes to complement the spacious accommodation, and the forward section is home to a large lounge fitted with plush sofas.

The main deck aft acts as both waiting area and recreational space, offering three large sofas in the shade of the pool deck overhang as well as a beautifully made alfresco dining table which seats up to 12 guests. Two staircases on the port and starboard sides connect to the deck below, where the generous swim platform and a beach club offer the perfect place to lounge beside the water.

The aft deck is dedicated to the 11m x 5m pool, where guests can cool off on a hot day or unwind in the spacious aft Jacuzzi before drying off with a nap on the sun pads or the sun loungers. Guests are offered the opportunity to dine alfresco with drinks from the bar, before stretching out on the sofas around the stern-end of the pool.

The boat deck lives up to its name, storing the tenders on the bow while leaving the aft exterior completely free for guests to use. Two sofas create two separate lounging areas that offer sweeping views in the direction of the stern. There is also the option to dine alfresco, and guests can quickly move to the deck above or below via the staircases. The spacious aft section of the owner's deck contains plenty of sun loungers and outdoor chairs for lounging in the shade and taking in uninterrupted views with the option to dine alfresco.

Ulysses ship has 5 vehicle decks, of which 2 are "swing decks" (aka Plates) - purposely lowered to accommodate more low-height vehicles (with height up to 2 m / 7 ft high). Both swing decks are used mainly during holiday breaks allowing the ferry to handle a greater number of cars. Deck 3 (largest) is the main trailer deck. All car decks are connected with external ramps (located aft and forward portside).

All ferried vehicles must have documentation and valid insurance. Having the car's technical data sheet makes boarding checks easier. Upon booking, the vehicle's model, length and height must be specified. Car ferry passengers must arrive at the departure port 90 min prior departure.

Ulysses ferry Wiki

The vessel is 12 decks high, with the keel to max-height 51 m (167 ft). As specifically designed to operate from homeport Dublin, the ship has a relatively small draft (6,3 m / 21 ft) and smaller propellers for its gross tonnage. Port Dublin's max depths are 12,2 m (Anchorage) and 9,1 m (cargo/ferry pier).

When launched in 2001, Ulysses became the world's largest passenger ferry in terms of car capacity - succeeding the fleet mate Isle of Inishmore (1997). Its sister ships Color Magic and Color Fantasy are both owned and operated by COLOR LINE.

Ulysses ship's builder is Rauma Shipyard Finland .

The ship is powered by four Caterpillar marine diesel engines (9-cylinder, model MAK 9M43 C8550HP) with total power output 31,2 MW. Electric power is provided by 3 generator sets (MaK 8M20 diesel engines, total power output 4,5 MW). The ship is named after, and its interior design is themed on the novel "Ulysses" (published 1922) by James Joyce.
