The owner's suite also received a new fixed balcony on either side that has drastically opened the apartment to more natural light and fresh air when needed. Andromeda today cruises with a freshly-painted hull that is finished with a smooth layer of fairing and a high-gloss layer of dark grey paint. Since these images of Andromeda were taken in 2016, the yacht received some notable cosmetic changes ahead of the yacht's change of ownership in late 2017. Photo: Thierry Ameller & Tom van Oossanen / SuperYacht Times Of course, there are many more elements that sets Ulysses apart from Andromeda such as her custom RWD interior and reimagined deck spaces, but as the yacht remains covered under a veil of secrecy, these details will, for now, remain a mystery. Ulysses’ helicopter-carrying capabilities too have been untouched and like her smaller sister is capable of accommodating a Bell 429 or ACH135 on the landing pad, or in the helicopter hangar that comes complete with its own refuelling station. Click here for more detailed images of Ulysses's tenders. The famous U-21 multihull dayboat on Andromeda’s bow has been ditched for a more refined Princess 68 on Ulysses and the two 14-metre Naiad RIBs from New Zealand on each side of the owner’s deck have been replaced by two custom Van Dutch runabouts.
The tenders themselves, however, differ greatly to those on Andromeda. The forward well deck and overall tender-storage capacity remain largely the same on the two yachts except for the touch of synthetic teak that gives Ulysses a more refined look on the foredeck.
Two extended viewing decks have also been added to Ulysses’ design just below the crow's nest and ahead of the wheelhouse.
#Ulysses yacht windows
Noticeable differences are visible in the forward section of the superstructure below the bridge, where the owner’s apartment on Ulysses now have wrap-around forward-facing windows as opposed to Andromedas’ totally enclosed and upward-angled forward bulkhead. Both yachts are built on the same MT5006 MKII platform and therefore only really differ in length more than their shared height, draft and beam. Andromeda is around nine metres shorter than her sister at 107 metres compared to Ulysses’ 116 metres total length.

The following recreated images will give you a better idea of the Ulysses evolution as captured on each of their maiden voyages shortly after delivery in 20 respectively. To answer some lingering questions and put to rest any speculation about the two vessels (in their original states), we felt that a closer look at these two Norwegian superyachts was needed.
and his friends and family on voyages that Ulysses himself would contemplate! If anyone is interested in continuing this voyaging Spirit, on a fabulous boat that has logged over 55,000 ocean miles, then look at the listing below as she is now looking for a new adventuress owner to take her even further on her passages of discovery.Ever since the unveiling of the first Ulysses explorer yacht (now Andromeda) by Kleven in 2015 and the announcement back in 2014 that a second, larger version will also be built, these two projects have been followed with great interest by our readers from all over the world. She has successfully and comfortably taken R.
No matter what conveyance we have, a spirit of adventure, like Ulysses, was in both of us and while we voyaged on different sea worthy vessels, we shared the love of a long passage, the thrill of a new landfall, and the rewards that can only come when we make these passages relying on our boats and ourselves for our safety, comfort, and fun! The lovely and magnificent SPIRIT OF ULYSSES, is a 73 foot Nordhavn trawler is the vessel that R. R., however, did his “sailing” a completely different way from our sailing a 39 foot sloop around the world. at West Marine and we had become instant friends as we came to recognize our mutual affection for taking our own boats on ocean passages. I had a wonderful time on that magical Skype with R., and we chatted face to face about family, grandchildren, boats, and passages! Sound familiar? Thanks to the magic of Skype, R. and I immediately caught up on all his marvelous adventures crossing the Pacific to Australia and then back again via Alaska, and through the Panama Canal, and eventually back to his home in Europe. This morning I was typing away at my computer, writing a Pam Says, and Skype comes up with a name I recognized from a dear friend I had not heard from in a long time.
