ULYSSIA is an ambitious Swiss-led ultra-luxury residential project envisioned by billionaire Frank Binder, redefining what it means to live, travel, and experience the ocean. More than a yacht, it is conceived as a floating private world—a moving sanctuary that combines the exclusivity of a super-prime residence with the freedom of global exploration.
Designed for a select community of ultra-high-net-worth individuals, ULYSSIA represents a new category in luxury real estate: permanent residences at sea, continuously travelling to the world’s most remote and desirable destinations.
A Floating City of Exceptional Scale
At approximately 320 meters in length, ULYSSIA stands among the most extraordinary residential vessels ever conceived.
The project brings together world-class expertise:
- Naval architecture by renowned designer Espen Øino
- Construction by the legendary German shipyard Meyer Werft
The concept includes:
- 122 private residences
- 22 guest suites
- Residences ranging from ~1,200 to 10,000 sq ft
- Fully customizable ultra-luxury interiors
Each home is designed not as a cabin, but as a fully functional oceanfront apartment, combining privacy, space, and panoramic sea views.
Lifestyle Beyond Anything on Land
ULYSSIA is designed as a complete lifestyle ecosystem at sea, integrating hospitality, wellness, culture, and exploration.
Wellness & Health
- 20,000 sq ft ultra-luxury spa and wellness center (Chenot Spa concept)
- Advanced onboard medical facility with MRI, CT scan, and ultrasound capabilities
- Holistic health and longevity programs
Sport & Recreation
- Indoor pickleball and padel courts
- Golf simulator
- Multi-sport deck
- Fitness and training facilities
Cultural Life
- Curated cultural events
- Educational programs
- Private exhibitions and performances
- Guest speaker and thought-leadership sessions
Exploration Without Limits
One of ULYSSIA’s defining concepts is access to exploration at any time:
- Private helicopter operations
- Onboard submarine for deep-sea exploration
- Luxury tenders and yacht marina
- Dedicated dive center
Residents can move seamlessly from their private residence to the ocean depths or remote island landscapes within minutes.
A Floating Beach Club & Marina
The lower deck is envisioned as a true ocean lifestyle hub, featuring:
- Private beach club atmosphere
- Marina with luxury tenders
- Water sports and diving access
- Direct connection to the sea
This transforms the vessel into a hybrid between a superyacht, private island, and luxury resort.
A New Definition of Ultra-Prime Real Estate
ULYSSIA is not simply a maritime project—it is a new asset class:
- Permanent private residences
- Global mobility without relocation
- Exclusive community of global leaders and entrepreneurs
- Continuous access to curated experiences and destinations
It merges:
- Real estate
- Superyacht lifestyle
- Luxury hospitality
- Expedition travel
Vision: A Life Without Borders
ULYSSIA proposes a radical shift in luxury living—where home is no longer fixed on land, but moves with the world itself.
It is designed for individuals who see luxury not as possession, but as freedom, discovery, and access to the extraordinary.
