Though ULYSSIA won’t embark on its maiden voyage until 2029, development on this groundbreaking superyacht is already full steam ahead. At 320 meters, ULYSSIA promises to redefine ocean living by combining five-star residences, world-class amenities, and the most exclusive onboard ‘yacht community’ ever conceived. This is not merely a luxury yacht—it is a revolutionary lifestyle at sea.
Conceived by Swiss billionaire and lifelong yachting enthusiast Frank Binder, ULYSSIA brings unparalleled luxury to the high seas. The yacht is designed by renowned naval architect Espen Øino and is under construction by the historic MEYER YACHTS shipyard. Alongside CEO Alain Gruber and COO Renato W. Chizzola, Binder has transformed his visionary concept into an extraordinary reality.
ULYSSIA invites residents to wake up to endless blue horizons and drift off under spectacular sunsets. There’s no need to dream of exploring remote wildlife-rich destinations or sun-soaked getaways—this yacht delivers direct access to iconic and uncharted locales through its partnership with EYOS Expeditions.
For those craving adventure, cultural immersion, and leisurely global travel, ULYSSIA offers 133 ultra-luxurious residences to call home. These apartment-style living spaces rival the elegance of London’s Mayfair, Kensington, or Chelsea neighborhoods, featuring spacious reception rooms, open-plan kitchens, private terraces, and breathtaking sea views.
Residences range from approximately 110 to 1,000 square meters, with configurations from one to six bedrooms, including family duplexes and ten exclusive penthouses. Prices start at €10 million. Additionally, 22 guest suites are available for rent, perfect for accommodating friends and family.
Internationally acclaimed designer Francesca Muzio of FM Architettura—known for work with Mandarin Oriental and The Shard—leads ULYSSIA’s interior design. Muzio emphasizes that the yacht’s amenities and public spaces are crafted to “feel like home,” creating an extension of each resident’s private living space.
The onboard offerings are unmatched, including seven restaurants featuring locally sourced cuisine, a cigar bar, wine cellar, lounges, and even a nightclub. Wellness is prioritized with a Chenot Spa delivering holistic treatments, a full fitness studio, and a medical center. Residents will also enjoy indoor and outdoor pools, a 600-meter running track, courts for padel tennis and pickleball, a hair and beauty salon, library, art studio, theater, and dedicated youth programs for children’s education and entertainment.
ULYSSIA also fosters a strong sense of community and philanthropy. Residents can connect deeply with the cultures and histories of the destinations visited, enhanced by expert speakers who provide rich educational experiences onboard. Alain Gruber highlights the community’s unique role: “Our residents witness firsthand the challenges faced by remote locations and have the collective resources to support local causes—whether disaster relief, marine conservation, or other initiatives. Philanthropy lies at the heart of our values.”
Sustainability is central to ULYSSIA’s design, aiming to be the most eco-friendly yacht ever delivered. The vessel will utilize flex-fuel systems prioritizing methanol, supplemented by marine gas oil and biofuels when available. Renewable energy will come from a blend of solar power and emission-free batteries, while advanced waste treatment systems will maximize recycling and minimize environmental impact.
ULYSSIA offers not just a yacht, but a pioneering lifestyle—luxury living, adventure, community, philanthropy, and sustainability all combined in a revolutionary seaborne home.
