With her black hull and cool beige superstructure ULYSSES is an unparalleled super-yacht imbued with something regal. Her exterior is modern and unusual, in contrast to the traditional and majestic interior.Entering the saloon, you can admire a legendary grand piano by Steinway & Sons from 1900. Since this grand piano was brought onboard ULYSSES it has been enhanced with a numerical control allowing it to play Tchaikovsky or Chopin, even without having a virtuoso onboard.

The internal decoration is classical and imperial with marble artworks, chandeliers and rare pictures. The style is a blend of Renaissance, Baroque, and also some touches of Gothic Art, emphasized by the classical and contemporary floral artworks by Margriet Smulders.

The guests are accommodated in 6 staterooms. The Master Suite located on the main deck features an office, a hairdressing salon, a bedroom, an en suite (with bath and steam room), and in the front, a private observation lounge. The VIP Stateroom is located on the upper deck, starboard, and offers a panoramic view of the sea.

The 4 remaining staterooms are located on the lower deck and devised into two twins and two doubles. Each stateroom onboard ULYSSES has an en suite facility. The guests can decide to dine around one of the 3 tables accommodating up to 12 guests (the first is in the main saloon, the second on the upper deck aft, and the third on the sun deck) and they will undoubtedly appreciate the fine cuisine of the New-Zealander Chef.

The exterior is strikingly generous with a sundeck worthy of a 65 meter yacht. Onboard ULYSSES, the guests can enjoy a glamorous aperitif on the upper deck aft followed by a formal dinner in the main saloon dining area. They can also enjoy a pizza made from the pizza-oven located on the sundeck, drinking a pint of Guinness (to match the colors of the yacht) and watching a soccer game on the external cinema. There is something for everyone, and the crew is always full of resources to amuse the guests with the various amenities offered onboard ULYSSES (water sports, toys, entertainment system, etc.).
