Expedition megayacht ULYSSES - this is an ice-class vessel capable of accommodating up to 36 guests on board (the yacht has a commercial passenger classification). The owner has a whole separate deck at his disposal. In addition, Ulysses has 22 cabins for 42 crew members. So that all these people can comfortably move between the decks of the yacht, there are two elevators - for 13 people for guests and for 8 people for the crew.
Combining unsurpassed sailing capabilities (8,500 nautical miles in range) with stunningly luxurious interiors, the yacht ULYSSES also has an incredible set of all kinds of tenders and toys. We should also mention the 21-meter tender catamaran U21 with a maximum speed of 50 knots, thanks to 4 jet propellers. This tender was designed by a New Zealand firmTeknicraftand built at the shipyardComposite Projects Ltd. The main wishes of the owner were the suitability of the tender for deep-sea fishing and a high level of comfort on board. The 5 cabins of the tender can accommodate 7 guests. For lifting and lowering it to the water, in the bow ULYSSES there are two cranes with increased lifting capacity.
Every aspect of this yacht has been meticulously designed and built with an eye toward maximum comfort and functionality - from the Rolls-Royce technical control platform to the fully certified helicopter platform with refueling system and a hangar to accommodate a helicopter type Bell 429 or EC145.
An expedition yacht of this magnitude and capacity has never been seen on the market before. At the moment, she can be purchased as a brand new yacht. ULYSSES was built at the Norwegian shipyard Kleven verft , which specializes in the construction of commercial ships, and transferred to the owner in March 2016.
Also worth noting is the attractive asking price. ULYSSES - for example, the cost of building a new similar yacht at any of the world-renowned Dutch shipyards will be about 400.000.000 EUR This is truly one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities!
During the period Monaco Yacht Show 2016 , yacht ULYSSES will be anchored outside the main port. We will be happy to arrange a transfer on board and inspection of this magnificent vessel for you!

2015 has barely begun, but already promises to be the year of superyachts, 100 meters or more. A number of yachts in this range are being prepared for handover over the next few months around the world. Here are just the five largest megayacht deliveries foreseen for 2015.
White pearl... This project, the development contract for which Nobiskrug signed about three years ago, was confidential and information about it was not presented publicly. The length of the yacht was initially provided for 139.6 m (458 feet), and then 147 meters (482 feet). Considering that White Pearl is a sailing yacht, its dimensions already speak of the extraordinary nature of the yacht. White Pearl will officially become the largest sailing yacht in the world after delivery (the date of which remains undisclosed). By comparison, the largest sailing yacht to date, the 88m Maltese Falcon, or the 93m Eos with an almost 10m burshpit, look just small compared to the White Pearl.
Privilege One. The Privilege shipyard, established in Civitavecchia, Italy, in 2008, builds motor megayachts over 100 meters. “If you're going to build a yacht, build a big one,” say the local shipbuilders, who are far from being new to the industry and have experience in implementing a number of megayacht projects on Trump Princess (now Kingdom 5KR). The shipyard's first yacht, Privilege One, designed by Laraki Yacht Design, is 127 meters long (416 "7") and consists of 10 decks served by 10 lifts. An impressive four-car garage, a billiards room, and a spectacular lounge at the bow of the main deck. The owner's suite includes a separate dining and spa area, as well as a spacious outdoor area. Each of the 12 suites has a folding balcony, as well as beds that are set on gyroscopic platforms that independently stabilize the roll while sailing.
Mega yacht Privilege One
"Tatiana"."Tatiana" is most likely just the name of the project for the 125-meter (410 ft) motorized mega-yacht that is being built at Lürssen. Like most of the shipyard's superyacht contracts, this one is also strictly confidential.
Ulysses. A Norwegian commercial shipyard, Kleven, is preparing to deliver the yacht in five months to New Zealand owners, Graeme and Robin Hart, who previously owned a yacht named Ulysses. Today, the Ulysses is 107 meters (351 ft) long and, as defined by the project team, the Ulysses is an expeditionary support vessel. The vessel will carry a 21-meter (69 ft) tender that will allow owners and guests to explore the coastal area and disembark. There is also a helicopter on board for communication with the shore. Interestingly, Harts has already commissioned one yacht from Kleven, which is larger than Ulysses (length 116m / 380 "6").
Ulysses - Expeditionary Support Vessel
Poseidonos. The 106-meter (347 "8") Poseidonos is a mega-yacht that began construction several years ago in a yacht yard in Athens, Greece, on the basis of a passenger ferry delivered there. The interior design was developed by the Italian company Ciarmoli Queda Studio, which specializes in residential and commercial architecture. The yacht features several dining areas located both indoors and outdoors, 23 guest and 19 crew cabins (all above the main deck), and a private cinema.
This year, in the port of Hercules, first of all, 60-70 meter yachts compete with each other. It is in this size that most of the most famous yachts in the world will be presented - both new products and last year's premieres, and even rarities. In total, 125 vessels ranging in size from 28 to 107 meters will be presented at the exhibition in Monaco this year from September 28 to October 1. Approximately 34 thousand visitors and 580 exhibiting companies and partners of the exhibition are expected.
Ulysses
One of the most luxurious yachts participating in the show will probably be the 107-meter Ulysses, which has recently joined the ranks of superyachts for sale. Built to a special order by an experienced shipowner at the Norwegian shipyard Kleven, she made a splash with her pragmatic looks and performance to sail around the world. The team of celebrity designers involved in its creation has done everything to make Ulysses a true embodiment of luxury and reliability.

Ulysses will be anchored outside the port of Monaco. Not everyone will be able to watch it, and only by appointment.
Athena
The 90-meter vessel, called Athena, is the longest yacht to be presented directly in Monaco. One of the largest sailing yachts in the world, the Athena was custom built by the Royal Huisman shipyard in 2004 to the design of the now late Peter Buildsnyder.
Athena will be listed for sale for $ 69 million.
Coral ocean
The 72.54m Coral Ocean is one of the late designer's most outstanding creations. Built at the shipyard, Coral Ocean has recently undergone a modernization to appear at the Monaco Yacht Show this year.
It is worth noting that in 1994 this superyacht became a real breakthrough in the yachting industry. This yacht was the first to have a gym and SPA area on board.
Sybaris
The 70-meter beauty called Sybaris was built especially for yacht enthusiast Bill Ducker. Sybaris is one of the biggest new sailing yachts presented at the Monaco Yacht Show 2016. The two-masted yacht with 3,000 square meters of sail was built by the Italian shipyard Perini Navi. The masts of the ship are made of carbon fiber. Their heights are 72 and 62 meters, respectively. The interior design was carried out by PH Design. Duker himself said the following about the interior: "No frills, but not minimalism."
Galactica supernova
The 70-meter Galactica Supernova will surely attract the enthusiastic glances of the exhibition visitors. This is the largest yacht ever launched from a Dutch shipyard. One of its most interesting features is the presence on the rear deck of a swimming pool with swimming lanes, filled with water from an artificial waterfall. Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design was responsible for the colorful interior design. The ship has 6 cabins, which can comfortably accommodate 12 people.
Suerte
Launched just prior to the 2015 Monaco yacht Show, the 69-meter was built in an Italian boutique shipyard, embodying the shipbuilding principles articulated by design bureau Ruggiero. The famous took part in the development of the exterior design. The Suerte has a capacity of 1,400 Gross Tons, and the bow of the ship is made of high-strength steel. This year, the owner decided to sell his brainchild.
Icon
Superyacht Icon was built in 2010 by Icon Yachts. Redman Whiteley Dixon was responsible for the exterior design of the vessel and Studio Linse for the interior. Icon yacht is a combination of luxury and superior performance. There are 6 cabins on board that can accommodate up to 12 guests.
In 2014, the yacht was refitted: its length increased by 5 meters and is now 68 meters. The alteration, which, incidentally, took six months, made it possible to increase the area of the main rear deck, expand the space of the club area, free up space for a 5-meter pool, which combines glass elements in the front and rear parts above the transom, as well as significantly expand recreation areas on both sides of it.
The yacht is offered for sale at € 56.5 million.
Vanish
The 66m superyacht Vanish is another fairly roomy vessel that will be on display at the upcoming Monaco show. It was created in collaboration with the design bureau Eidsgaard Design. The result of the joint work was a ship with two helipads and an open-air cinema. Speaking of its creation, the shipyard stated that Vanish is "a bridge to the world of adventure."
Okto
The stylish 66-meter superyacht, designed by renowned naval architect Andrea Vallicelli on the exterior and recently retired interior, can accommodate 12 guests and 17 crew members.

Dilbar
Length: 156 m (511 ft)Peculiarity: pool180 sq. m
Owner: shareholder of USM Holdings Alisher Usmanov
Built by the Lurssen shipyard in less than 52 months, Dilbar became the largest yacht in terms of tonnage (15,917GT). The yacht boasts two helipads and a diesel electric power of 30,000 kW.
But the main distinguishing feature of the 156-meter yacht can be considered the indoor pool, which is considered the largest ever built on a yacht, its volume is 180 cubic meters. Previous 110m Dilbar was renamed Ona and put up for sale.
Rising Sun
Length: 138 m (452 ft)
Peculiarity: basketball and helipad

Ulysses
Length: 107 m (351 ft)
Peculiarity: 21 meter tender
Owner: Reynolds Group Holdings owner Graham Hart (New Zealand's wealthiest businessman)
In 2016, the Norwegian shipyard Kleven delivered their first yacht, named Ulysses. Among the many outstanding features of this yacht are a large swimming pool on the upper deck, a garage for storing various types of toys, and a garage for a helicopter.
But the most outstanding feature of Ulysses can be considered the 21-meter tender (a boat that often travels from yacht to shore) U-21, which was built by Composite Projects. The tender has five cabins to accommodate seven guests. Graham Hart has put the Ulysses up for sale for $ 195 million in anticipation of his new 116m exploration yacht, also built by Kleven.
Symphony
Length: 101.5 m (333 ft)
Peculiarity: green
Owner: President of the Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH) group of companies Bernard Arnault
In 2015, Symphony became the longest yacht ever built by Dutch shipyard Feadship for LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault, seven years after the luxury conglomerate acquired Feadship Royal Van Lent.
Among the many features of the yacht are a spa-pool, an open-air cinema, a lounge with DJ sets, but the most unusual, perhaps, is the golf course located on the upper deck.
Aviva
Length: 98 m (321 ft)
Peculiarity: paddle tennis court

Despite its impressive length, the Maltese Falcon is also known for its three revolving masts with sails covering 2,400 sq. Due to its innovative design, the crew can rotate the 58-meter masts and therefore sail against the wind without restriction.
Sailing yacht A
Length: 142.8 m (468 ft)
Peculiarity: Submarine
With masts taller than Big Ben sailboat A cannot leave anyone indifferent to its unusual design. She is now in the final stages of construction at the Nobiskrug shipyard in Kiel.

Some non-standard features of the yacht can be seen with the naked eye, such as the large swimming pool with a retractable roof. New yacht A will also carry a submarine, a trend that is only growing in popularity among yacht owners.
