ANDROMEDA Yacht – Panoramic $250M Superyacht

ANDROMEDA yacht was launched in 2015. This 107-meter-long beauty is one of the world’s biggest yachts . The exterior of the gorgeous sea vessel was designed by Oscar Mike Limited.

Hart approached Kleven to build a yacht that enabled an active boating lifestyle, which they delivered in 2015.

ANDROMEDA yacht interior

Designed by H2 Yacht Design, an English design house, the interior of the ANDROMEDA yacht is modern and luxurious.

While the boat’s features may be rugged, the interior reflects a more relaxed atmosphere with light pastel colors.

The ANDROMEDA yacht is spacious, with accommodation for 30 guests in 15 staterooms. She is equipped to accommodate 30 crew members.

She is classed as an expedition yacht and has a wide variety of features that make her robust for exploring.

She has a swimming pool, a helicopter landing pad, a hangar, a garage full of land and water toys, and two specifically fitted cranes to stow the 21m(68.9ft) custom tender aboard.

The ANDROMEDA is highly equipped for an active lifestyle.

The ANDROMEDA yacht is built with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure with teak decks. Oscar Mike designed the exterior, and Marin Teknikk delivered the naval architecture. The build was executed by Norwegian shipbuilders Kleven in 2015.

The ANDROMEDA is the first private superyacht to be built at their shipyard.  She was refitted in 2017.

The rugged exterior was designed for long-range passages in difficult sea conditions, which sets her apart from other superyachts.  She is ice-classed to cope with extreme conditions.

Specifications

The ANDROMEDA has a volume of 5937 GT and is powered by two Caterpillar diesel engines.

She has a length of 107.4 m(352,4ft), a beam of 18.01m(59.1ft), a draft of 5.11m(16.8ft), and has long-range passage capabilities with an 8500 nautical mile cruising range.

Inside the epic superyacht, 107m Andromeda.

In 2016, Graeme Hart took possession of the 107.4-meter Andromeda, formerly known as Ulysses, a robust and versatile explorer designed to accommodate a 21-meter multihull on its foredeck. Now, eight years later and under new ownership, Hart’s vision endures, albeit with a hull color change and updated fairing. This 2016 feature from the BOAT International archives, by Stewart Campbell, provides an in-depth exploration of Andromeda.

Andromeda possesses an enchanting and wide-eyed charm. If you gathered a group of 10-year-old kids, fueled them with sugar, and tasked them with designing a boat, it might very well resemble this vessel—complete with a remarkable inventory: six motorbikes, two ATVs, a helicopter, a twin-hulled 50-knot support boat, a Sealegs amphibious RIB, and a full-on landing craft. It’s like a Tonka truck with a hull—an iceberg-dodging, wave-crunching, mile-munching, ocean-eating, horizon-conquering monster. The 107-meter explorer yacht appears strikingly out of place when first spotted, anchored off genteel Cap d’Antibes, with no snowy peak or dreamy atoll in sight. Despite being a fair distance offshore, it still dominates the horizon.

Eclipse is also present, but from a distance, it’s challenging to discern that the Blohm+Voss yacht is 55 meters longer than Andromeda, whose 6,000 gross tonnes and six decks tower above the waterline. Its toughest-kid-in-the-anchorage aesthetic was a bold statement from its commissioning owner, Kiwi billionaire Graeme Hart, and his collaborator on the exterior styling, Kyle Dick, of OscarMike Naval Architects in New Zealand. Hart emphasizes that the portrayal of strength is not misleading; Andromeda is a boat meant to be utilized to the fullest, embodying a theme of cruising without limits. Dick notes their aim was to achieve an “expedition style with real presence,” and they succeeded.

Andromeda marked Graeme Hart’s fifth superyacht (his sixth, the 116-meter Ulysses, was delivered by the Norwegian yard Kleven in 2018). Each step up the chain in yacht size, from a 49-meter Feadship to the current 6,000GT Andromeda, reflects Hart’s pursuit of the perfect balance in three key elements: seakeeping, volume, and support.

Hart explains, “I’ve always aimed for the best seakeeping because, in a Force 9 gale, people can get pretty fragile.” Volume is the second element, allowing for comfortable gatherings of friends and family without overcrowding. The progression from a 49-meter Feadship to a 1,000 gross tonne boat and now Andromeda at 6,000GT reflects this pursuit of optimal volume.

The third element, support, revolves around tender operations and various activities. Hart, shaped by an active boating lifestyle in New Zealand, stresses the importance of having a suite of support activities on board. From biking in the landing craft to helicopter reconnaissance, Andromeda is equipped for a diverse range of adventures.

Privacy Overview

Tech billionaire who is searching for Alien life has the aptly named ‘Multiverse’ superyacht. Specifically built for exploring remote locations in utmost comfort, the $275 million behemoth has a wine bar, swimming pool, helicopter hangar, and a movie theater.

Multi-faceted Multiverse motoryacht-

The Multiverse yacht, designed for extended voyages, was initially constructed by the Norwegian shipyard for the New Zealand-based billionaire Graeme Richard Hart. It was ultimately completed and handed over to its current owner, billionaire Yuri Milner, in June 2018. This colossal pleasure craft comfortably sleeps 30 guests in 15 suites and has provisions for up to 36 crew onboard, ensuring a relaxed and luxurious yacht experience. The vessel bears a striking resemblance to its stunning sister ship, Andromeda.

Billionaire tech investor Yuri Milner owns the $275 million Multiverse Yacht-

The yacht was built for billionaire Graeme Hart ( $9.4 billion ), who sold the Multiverse boat to Yuri Milner. This early Facebook investor, worth $6.8 billion , is a former physicist who made a fortune with investments in Twitter, Spotify, and Airbnb through his venture fund, DST Global. He has invested significant amounts in Chinese tech companies like Alibaba and phone maker Xiaomi. Yuri Milner, a resident of Los Altos, was in the news for funding a startup focused on discovering a way to reverse aging along with fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos.

Wrestling billionaire Shahid Khan is all set to take delivery of his magnificent 400-foot Lurssen superyacht, Kismet, which is undergoing sea trials. One of the largest yachts ever built, the seafaring palace boasts 11 luxurious cabins, a Balinese spa, a gym, a theater, and much more.

Superyachts are in such high demand that this shipyard has already started work on a $180 million vessel scheduled for delivery in November 2024, even though no owner has been finalized

So massive it would dwarf Jeff Bezos’ Koru yacht, this wild gigayacht concept is apt for a trillionaire. Designed to look like a hammerhead shark, it has five swimming pools, a helipad to accommodate three helicopters and golf buggies to move inside.

Explorer superyacht Ulysses renamed M/Y Andromeda

New owner, new name

The well-known 107m superyacht Ulysses has a new name. The new owner of the explorer superyacht has renamed the vessel Andromeda.

A new 116m Ulysses superyacht will soon be handed to Graeme Hart, the former owner of Andromeda. The new vessel is currently undergoing sea trials.

The steel and aluminum explorer yacht was built by Norwegian yard Kleven Verft. She was delivered in 2016 to businessman Graeme Hart from New Zealand. The interiors are styled by H2 Yacht Design and can accommodate 30 guests in 15 suites. It also includes an entire deck dedicated to the owner. The crew quarters allows for a staff of 42 people.

The vessel has a helicopter landing platform and hangar plus a professional cinema with surround sound system. Two elevators are serving all decks. A heated swimming pool, a beach club, gym, spa and a large garage filled with water toys are also available on board.

Powered by a pair of Caterpillar engines, Andromeda can cruise at 15 knots.

Who Owns Superyachts In 2023 —And What Does That Mean For You As Crew?

Where once oligarchs, oil tycoons, royals and old money ruled the roost in the yachting world, tech billionaires have increasingly dominated the superyacht market. Who are these people — and more importantly — what does their different style of ‘yachting’ mean for you as crew?

The list of tech billionaires (at least, the list we know of) is long and getting longer by the year. And as their wealth grows, so does the size of the boats they own!

Jeff Bezos, Larry Ellison (Musashi), Charles Simonyi (SKAT), Sergey Brin (Dragonfly), and Larry Page (Senses) are just some of the tech billionaires known to own a superyacht. Mark Zuckerberg, meanwhile, is rumoured to own Andromeda.

While we can only speculate on how these exact individuals use their yachts or what they are like onboard, some general traits might set the tech billionaire yacht owner out as using their yachts differently than generations of yacht owners before them.

Overall, tech billionaires are often younger, more adventurous and less hidebound regarding old rules and service styles. Here are a few general trends we can assume.

They want to eat well, but less fussily, and with a greater premium on health.

Where silver service, ultra-decadent meals, and mountains of wasted food were — and often still are— preferred by old-money yacht owners and charterers, the modern tech billionaire is more likely to be health-conscious and eat food that is plated rather than buffet style or silver service. Yacht chefs now need to be more skilled in special diets, such as plant-based or keto, and offer a broader range of cuisines.

They want to WORK.

Superyachts used to be for holidays only. This was partly by necessity —the lack of connectivity meant that work went on the back burner for summer months as guests swanned around the Mediterranean. Now, the extraordinary technological strides on board allow yacht owners to have offices where they can work anywhere in the world.

They want to go far beyond the milk run.

While anchoring off St Tropez or Cap Ferrat for weeks in August will always be in style, there has been an explosion in remote cruising, often fuelled by this younger, more adventurous set of yacht owners who can work from anywhere- Antarctica to Alaska and beyond.

This has fed into the next point…

A desire for adventure and exploration has changed yacht design.

As younger, more adventurous owners like tech billionaires have joined the superyacht market, the design of yachts and the toys they carry have changed markedly. New types of vessels have been created to meet this desire for off-the-beaten-track cruising, from support yachts to water toys to the massive growth in explorer yachts. Gone are the days when one yacht layout was almost identical to another. Now, we have winter gardens, submarines, ice rooms, ski rooms, large onboard offices, and helicopter hangars.

Not all of these changes have been driven by tech billionaires, granted. Still, their vision of what is possible has dramatically changed what yachts look like and how they operate as machines, with new types of propulsion, greater ranges, and a considerable amount more tech onboard.

Some things never change.

One thing hasn’t changed, though—a wealthy person’s desire for privacy. Discretion remains perhaps the most essential trait in any crew member, which you must keep in mind when working on yachts —even in the day of constant social media and shows like Below Deck.

A wealthy person’s desire for privacy and discretion is a constant that crew forget at their peril. Are you ensuring that you are a trusted asset? You may have signed that NDA, but do you let stories slip now and then at the bar? Are you careful about not taking photos onboard that give away anything about the boat or the owners? Do you make sure you don’t share the yacht’s cruising plans?

In a world where stories about tech billionaires will fly around the globe at light speed, you must be the gatekeeper. Stories cannot leave the passerelle.

Navigating Success: Superyacht Industry Unveils Career Roadmaps with ’Raising the Bar’

Raising the Bar, a distinguished think tank comprised of experts from across the superyacht industry, is thrilled to announce the official launch of Superyacht Industry Careers. This groundbreaking initiative, developed through voluntary collaboration and graciously hosted by the Superyacht Alliance for Professional Standards, aims to provide comprehensive career maps tailored for superyacht crew across all departments.

Stripes on Yachts: What Do They Mean?

Whether you are new to the yachting industry or an experienced professional, we’ve all asked ourselves the same question at least once in our career, “what do those stripes mean?” This article breaks down the meanings behind these cryptic stripes.

Billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg spend six figures a year maintaining their superyachts. Here's how.

• Superyachts  are one of the most expensive assets money can buy.
• The true cost of ownership is even more, adding up to millions a year.
• Here's how much it costs to own a superyacht — and what that money is going toward.

Financial advisors are quick to warn prospective owners that a boat is nothing more than a hole in the water in which to throw money. When it comes to superyachts , you'd better have bags and bags of cash.

As one luxury agent told Business Insider at the Palm Beach International Boat Show: "Buying a boat, it's a huge purchase — and nobody needs a yacht."

A superyacht, generally over 30 meters long, is one of the most expensive assets money can buy, with the largest costing more than a lot of real estate or a private jet. Billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Steve Jobs each spent nine figures on their megayachts.

That doesn't include operating costs. Owners should expect to pay about 10% of a yacht's new-build price each year, experts told Business Insider. That's tens of millions of dollars annually for the most luxurious boats.

"It's a small-to-medium-sized business in its own right," said Jeffrey Beneville, a senior vice president at insurance company NFP, where he specializes in consulting clients about yachts.

Unlike many smaller boats, superyachts need staff, not just a captain. Some superyachts have space for dozens of crewmembers , including a chef, engineer, and masseuse for the guests onboard. Each gets an annual salary — the highest-ranking members earn six figures — and benefits. Eric Schmidt's yacht fits a crew of 28 for a ratio of about two crewmembers per guest.

Then there's fuel, dockage fees, routine maintenance, and insurance. The latter hinges on everything from the reputation of a yacht's shipyard to where an owner wants to take it (if a vessel is taking frequent trips to the South China Sea, for example, expect to pay a higher premium). If a superyacht has a support yacht — or a support superyacht, in Bezos ' case — expect to pay another 10% of that boat's price annually.

"The cost to maintain a yacht is so high that they just think that money's getting lit on fire," Matthew Fleissig, the CEO of wealth management firm Pathstone, told BI of his clients who choose to charter rather than own.

One of his firm's clients who does own has a 23-meter yacht valued at $5.2 million. The annual cost to staff, maintain, dock, and insure the boat is $346,297, according to documentation provided to BI. The lion's share is spent on marina fees ($95,970) and maintenance work ($88,408.) While not exactly a Sunfish, that boat is too small to count as a superyacht.

At 106 meters, the Amadea, owned by a sanctioned Russian oligarch , definitely does. The $300 million yacht, which was seized in 2022 and is docked in San Diego, cost $922,000 a month to maintain, a court filing showed: $360,000 for crew salaries, $75,000 for fuel, $144,000 for insurance, $178,000 in dry-docking fees, and $165,000 for maintenance, waste removal, food for the crew, and miscellaneous expenses.

"And that's an inactive yacht that's in the water," NFP's Beneville said.

If it were operational and carrying guests, the costs would be about twice that, or between $20 million and $30 million a year, he added.

Of course, it makes more financial sense for the non-obsessives to charter, and many of Fleissig's clients do. And some owners choose to offer their yachts for charter — the most luxurious cost as much as $1 million a week — to offset the costs.

"If you charter the boat for 50 days a year, it's going to help a lot," Anders Kurtén, the CEO of brokerage firm Fraser Yachts, told BI.

Then again, the running costs don't matter as much at a certain point. "If you're worth $30 billion, it's nothing. And if you're worth $117 billion — and these are the guys we're talking about — they're in it as long as it's still enjoyable for them," Beneville said. "It's not a money thing."

“The Patrone 45 was born on the wave of the success of the Patrone 100 and the requests of many owners who wanted the same charm and elegance of that 10-meter boat on a larger scale,” Spadolini said in a statement. “For the Patrone 45 (as for its predecessor), our goal was to create an open cruiser designed for people who want to live the whole day outdoors without sacrificing absolute comfort in the interiors.”

Spanning 46 feet, the new flagship is a contemporary twist on the classic Ligurian gozzo with a sleek silhouette and a sporty hull. Driven by a V-Drive transmission and a pair of Yanmar 440 hp turbodiesel engines, the newcomer promises speed and seaworthiness, though no range or top speed has yet been disclosed. The yacht also showcases a range of sustainable materials, with the deck top made of eco-tech and the hull crafted from resins with low environmental impact.

The light and airy living quarters feature large windows that connect guests with the sea. Patrone offers myriad customization options, with five interior layouts available. Owners can enjoy up to three cabins, two bathrooms, and a galley, for example. “The only element that we wanted to be immovable is the owner’s cabin with its bathroom in the bow; everything else can be developed on the requests of the future owner, who can also decide whether to have a second covered galley or only the one in the cockpit,” Spadolini adds.

The Patrone 45 is scheduled to debut at the fall boat shows.

The yacht-spotter's guide to the F1 Monaco Grand Prix

Every year, Monaco’s Grand Prix pulls in some of the fleet’s finest superyachts for a weekend of adrenaline-fuelled F1 action and A-lister events in the heart of the principality. Yachts moored stern to the circuit have a premium vantage point over the cars tearing around the track, while superyachts at anchor can enjoy all the Formula One buzz with the added benefit of privacy and seclusion. 

BOAT takes a closer look at the superyachts spotted near the event...

Renaissance

Length : 111.9m Builder : Freire

Renaissance is the largest private yacht built in Spain and one of the world's most expensive charter yachts . Which is quite the feat for Freire, a commercial shipyard that has built only one private yacht in the past. With 7,200GT to play with, her list of amenities include a sushi bar, a dedicated hair and beauty salon, a ballet bar with a mirror for stretching and two cinemas – one indoor, one outdoor. The owner's deck is described as "palatial" and comes with its own a media room, a lounge with bar and dining and a private terrace with a Jacuzzi for six.

Length : 52.1m Builder : Sanlorenzo

Spotted pulling into port with a Bugatti on the aft, Seven Sins is the perfect yacht for soaking up the Formula One action. She is part of Sanlorenzo's hugely successful 52Steel series, with features including a glass-bottomed pool on the aft that floods the beach club below with light. Her palatial interior design offers plenty of space for kicking back and watching the races in a more relaxed setting and her sharp Officina Italiana Design exterior is sure to attract attention in Monaco harbour. 

Length : 90m Builder : Benetti

Lionheart was launched in 2016 as the shipyard's largest build to date, though she was surpassed by the 107-metre Mar (ex Lana ) four years later. She was the third yacht to be ordered from Benetti by the same owner, Sir Philip Green. While her curvy exterior and private balconies will be visible to those visiting Port Hercule this weekend, interiors have always been shrouded in secrecy. It is known that  Stefano Natucci  collaborated with Benetti on the exterior design and Green & Mingarelli Design  is responsible for the interior design.

Fountainhead

Length : 87.8m   Builder : Feadship

Created with family use in mind, Fountainhead features a recreation room and library that can be converted into cabins to supplement the six existing guest cabins and owner's suite. She was designed by De Voogt Naval Architects and Sinot Yacht Design , though "a signature blend of art, antiques and aesthetics" by Belgian artist Axel Vervoordt are also displayed throughout.  Leisure highlights include a fully-equipped gym with health club, a contra-flow swimming pool and a tender garage that houses wave runners, kayaks, surfboard and diving equipment, among others. The superyacht is named after the famous novel by Ayn Rand.

Coral Ocean

Length : 72.6m Builder : Lürssen

A World Superyacht Award winner, Coral Ocean earned the judges' commendation following a sensitive, multi-million refit that converted the heritage vessel into a successful charter platform. All deck spaces were upgraded, including a reimagined sundeck that now houses a glass-sided spa pool, sunbathing and observation deck and a central deckhouse with a television lounge, dining area and bar. Coral Ocean was one of the largest launches of 1994 and her secrecy for the first two decades of her life solidified her as an icon for the German shipyard. She is owned by Australian garbage waste disposal giant Ian Malouf.

Delivered in 2006, Titania  (ex Apoise ) was put up for auction by her owner in 2010 and was snapped up for €33.75 million – roughly half the estimated value – by Phones4U tycoon John Caudwell. He then went on to refit, lengthen and rename the superyacht, which he discusses in an exclusive interview with BOAT International . Designed by Espen Øino and Francois Zuretti , the Lürssen was the star yacht in season six of The Crown and is a popular charter yacht. No wonder, as she sports a beach club that can be converted into a nightclub, an onboard masseuse and beautician and an impressive array of watersports – including a waterpark and a 12.7-metre slide.

Length : 70m Builder : Royal Denship

Force Blue first hit the water in 2002 as the 63.3-metre Big Roi , a trawler-style expedition yacht that has since been refitted to varying degrees. The most recent work was done at Lusben in 2022 and involved a seven-metre stern extension to allow for a large, wrap-around swim platform. The main deck was extended in the process as well. Design highlights include a black-tiled spa (with heated massage table), a cinema, a barbecue and dining area that turns into a disco and a dining room that doubles as a conference space. An elevator serves all decks.

Length : 67.5m Builder : Icon Yachts

The flagship of the Dutch shipyard, Loon (ex Icon ) is now anchored in Port Hercule where she is likely to cause another social media sensation . She was delivered in 2010 to a design by RWD , with clean, contemporary interiors by Studio Linse . A raised main deck pool is one of her many highlights with two panels of glass that filter natural light into the beach club below. A bar, gym, massage room and sauna are also found at this level. Loon was sold to a new owner in April 2023, after which she joined the charter fleet with IYC .

Length : 66m   Builder : Oceanco

AHS has undergone numerous name changes (she was sold and renamed mostly recently in January ) but started life as Dilbar in 2005. A successful charter yacht, she can be easily distinguished in port by her classic canoe stern. An interior by the late Alberto Pinto provides accommodation across eight cabins, including a full-beam owner's suite with its own lounge and adjoining private office. Other highlights include an outdoor cinema, a beamy sundeck with 19,000-litre pool and a helipad that transforms into a sun lounge.

Length : 49.9m Builder : Zepter

The Croatian yard's first superyacht offering, JoyMe is usually berthed in Cap d’Ail but has been sighted in Monaco for the past two Grands Prix. She’s one of the most recognisable yachts at the event, with her custom red and white exterior and unusual eye motif – said to be the eyes of the commissioning owner’s daughter. Leisure highlights include a Pop Art-inspired interior by  Marijana Radovic , a sundeck with a 3.5-metre Jacuzzi and a lower deck arranged with a gym, Finnish sauna and Hammam spa with sea views. Accommodation is across five cabins, including the "VIP deck" owner's cabin which has a walk-in bathroom, lounge and private sunbathing platform on the bow.

Length : 45.2m Builder : Royal Hakvoort

The most recent delivery on the list, Milele is one of this year's World Superyacht Award winners . According to the judges, she stood out thanks to her "incredible build quality” and surprising spaces on board. Most notable of these is the innovative foredeck garage, which stores a submarine and crane, and has a full entertainment suite with a large television screen built into its hatch. She was designed inside and out by Omega Architects with an efficient hull design by Van Oossanen Naval Architects .

2 rescued from sinking 80-foot yacht off St. Augustine Beach, Florida

Two people were rescued Saturday after the luxury yacht they were on started sinking three miles off St. Augustine Beach, the U.S. Coast Guard reported.

The boat's operator reportedly told the Coast Guard the 80-foot Atlantis motor yacht took on water after striking an object. St. John's County Fire Rescue said in a Facebook post the yacht struck a dredge pipe piling .

According to the Coast Guard, the yacht's operator activated an emergency position indicating radio beacon which helped validate the vessel’s position.

St. John's County Fire Rescue and St. Augustine Police Department marine units assisted the Coast Guard by responding to the scene and rescuing both occupants from the yacht.

One of the boat's occupants was taken to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries, St. John's County Fire Rescue said.

“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our partner agencies for their invaluable assistance during this case," U.S. Coast Guard Senior Chief Petty Officer Ricardo Santacana said.

“With the weather improving and mariners heading out onto the water, it's imperative for everyone to verify the presence of all necessary safety equipment aboard their vessel. This ensures that responders, as demonstrated in this case, can swiftly locate you and render assistance when an emergency arises.”

The boat's owner will arrange salvage, the Coast Guard said.

The incident is under investigation.
