Multiverse yacht (ex Ulysses): 116 m Kleven explorer, 2018

In short

Multiverse is a 116.15-metre explorer yacht that Kleven, a Norwegian yard better known for offshore vessels (Boat International), built as Ulysses, reportedly for New Zealand businessman Graeme Hart (Boat International, December 2018, Boat International directory); she was delivered in June 2018 (Boat International). She replaced the 107-metre Kleven Ulysses, now Andromeda (Boat International), and was built on Kleven's existing MT 5006 MkII platform, with exterior lines by Kyle Dick of Oscar Mike and interiors by RWD (Boat International). A top-deck hangar houses a Bell 429 helicopter, and a 21-metre Princess 68 rides in a well deck forward (Boat International). Boat International ranks her as the world's third-largest explorer yacht and one of the most travelled superyachts of 2024 and 2025 (Boat International).
