The yacht Andromeda is a 107 meter luxury expedition yacht formerly owned by New Zealand billionaire Graeme Hart, under the name "Ulysses". She was sold to an unnamed buyer in October 2017[3][4] by Fraser Yachts[5]. In March 2018, her name was changed to Andromeda. The name of the new owner has yet to be disclosed and they are not listing Andromeda for charter. She spent the winter months of 2017-2018 completing sea trials, then set sail across the Pacific, arriving in Singapore on 6 March.[6][7]

The 107 meter Andromeda arrived in Bremerhaven in August 2015, where she was finished at Stahlbau Nord, under supervision of Dörries Maritime Services.[8][9] Andromeda's builder, Kleven, has built a second expedition yacht for Hart, 116m in length, she will also be named "Ulysses" and was delivered in late 2017. The yachts 2nd Officer is Sam. [10].
