In this Big BOAT Interview, BOAT’s content director Lucy Dunn talks to Alain Gruber, CEO of Ulyssia Residences AG, about the 322-metre residential yacht Ulyssia. Designed by Espen Øino, it reimagines life at sea by combining private residences with the hyper-personalisation of a superyacht and the amenities of a world-class resort.
