Teleost is a 49.07 m motor yacht built by Feadship in 1998 (refitted 2023), for 10 guests in 5 cabins with 10 crew. Charter from US$195,000 per week in summer (Australia and Pacific & Oceania); in winter from US$195,000 (Australia and Pacific & Oceania), plus expenses.
A 1998 Feadship, once called Ulysses and refitted in 2023, that now charters all year in Australia and Papua New Guinea, with her own dive compressor and PADI-qualified crew.
Teleost is a Feadship from 1998 that some charter regulars will remember as Ulysses, and today she works in a corner of the world few yachts of her size cover: Australia and Papua New Guinea, in both seasons. That alone decides who should look at her. She is for people drawn to the Whitsundays, the coast around Sydney or the islands further north, not for anyone planning a summer in the Mediterranean or a winter in the Caribbean.
Diving is her natural focus. A compressor on board and crew with PADI qualifications mean dives are planned around the yacht and its anchorage instead of around a shore operator's timetable, and the larger of her two Zodiac tenders is fitted out as a dive and fishing platform. Between dives, a ten-metre custom slide drops from the bridge deck into the water, and the toy list runs from eFoils to kayaks and rods.
De Voogt drew the outside; inside, John Munford chose polished mahogany, silk panels at the windows and calm, neutral furniture. This is a classic Dutch yacht rather than a design statement, and the 2023 refit has kept it in good shape. The owner's cabin spans the beam and has its own Jacuzzi bath. In the skylounge, a bar, a table for twelve, a film library and a karaoke system give rainy evenings somewhere to go.
With a range of more than 5,000 nautical miles she is built for long legs between remote anchorages, which is exactly what this region asks of a boat.
Choose her for an adventurous family or a group of divers who would rather spend the week over coral and in rainforest than in marinas and beach clubs. If nightlife is part of the plan, both the region and the yacht are the wrong fit.
