TELEOST is a magnificent 49-metre displacement motor yacht custom-built by the legendary Dutch shipyard Feadship and delivered in 1998, her prestigious pedigree reflected in the clean lines and sophisticated exterior designed by De Voogt Naval Architects. Formerly known as Ulysses, she has been beautifully maintained and continually upgraded by her owner, with major refits at Pendennis in 2002, 2008 and 2013 and a significant refit in 2018 followed by further works, keeping her in truly impeccable condition. Highly sought-after for family charters, she combines the best of modern technology with traditional design and craftsmanship, and is a genuine go-anywhere yacht, built for adventure and capable of taking guests to the world’s most remote regions. Built on a full-displacement steel hull with an aluminium superstructure, she is exceptionally comfortable and sea-kindly, fitted with zero-speed stabilisers for settled nights at anchor, and offers a generous range of around 4,500 nautical miles, cruising comfortably at 11 knots with a top speed of 14 knots. Styled by the UK-based designer John Munford, her vast interior is a modern classic, with polished mahogany panelling paired with silk window panels and chic neutral furnishings to create a luxurious yet relaxed setting. The large main salon is an elegant, comfortable space with huge windows that fill the room with natural light and frame the passing scenery, and is equipped with a full entertainment system and a wonderful library of music, games and books. Forward on the main deck, the salon leads into a stunning formal dining room seating twelve, which can be enclosed by recessed doors for intimate meals prepared by her accomplished executive chef. On the upper deck, the sky lounge is the ideal spot to unwind, with a wet bar, a video-on-demand system, a karaoke system and a dining table for twelve. Life on deck is exceptional, with vast, well-planned spaces designed to take alfresco living to the next level. The sundeck is her dedicated relaxation area, centred on a fabulous spa pool and equipped with loungers, an outdoor sound system, a wet bar, built-in seating and a shaded dining area with a barbecue, while the aft deck offers outdoor dining and a bar, and the vast custom swim platform features an outdoor shower, a barbecue and a launchpad for her extensive collection of water toys, including a custom waterslide. As a certified PADI dive centre, she is superbly equipped for exploration. Accommodation is arranged for up to 12 guests in five generously sized staterooms. The full-beam master suite is located on the main deck and features a private lounge and study area and a grand bathroom with a spa pool and shower, a serene and private retreat. On the lower deck are two double and two twin cabins, each twin with a Pullman berth, all classically elegant, equipped with home entertainment systems and opening into en-suite bathrooms, making her wonderfully suited to families. A first-class crew of ten ensures relaxed, attentive and highly professional service throughout. Powered by twin Caterpillar engines, TELEOST cruises the Caribbean in winter and the western Mediterranean in summer, and is equally at home exploring far-flung waters, offering charter guests a rare combination of Feadship pedigree, timeless John Munford style, adventurous capability and outstanding crew service aboard one of the world’s finest motor yachts of her size.
