This owner experiencing 20,000 of those miles in 3 ½ years of travel. Spirit of Ulysses remains fully prepared to continue these journeys, properly maintained and ready to cross more oceans. The twin MTU Series 60 400HP engines are ideal for this yacht, providing adequate power with easy maneuverability and great fuel efficiency. Proper maintenance is the foundation of her engineering status. The list of her mechanical maintenance is extensive, ensuring she arrives at every destination. Updates and services are detailed in the listing below. Her twin engine arrangement gives her full redundancy, arrow-straight tracking underway, and an engine room that puts super yachts to shame! Even as a twin, she still records frugal fuel burn and is easily capable of 3,700 nautical miles at 8 knots. She is built to full CE Category A. She has an extensive inventory, as you would expect from such a vessel. Spirit of Ulysses is a massive 3-stateroom, 3-head configuration with an additional watch berth and day head in the pilothouse.
