I am just going to put it out there, I would do illegal things to vacation on this boat. Sorry, this yacht. Sorry, this mega 65m I’m-a-floating-paradise luxury vessel.
This yacht – which was sold to a private owner earlier this year – is the Galactica Star from Heesen. Despite its obvious exterior beauty and impressive magnitude, there is a few things that really stand out about it. Firstly, it’s the impeccable attention to detail when it comes to the design. It’s luxury without being flashy. Every inch of this Heesen creation has been meticulously planned out ensuring maximum utilization, appeal and allure. With a main focus on relaxation and pleasure, the Galactica Star ensures that, whoever you are where ever you are in the world (note: The Galactica Star looks particularly fantastic off the coast of Antigua or The Spanish Virgin Islands), the moment you step on all your stresses melt away.
The second feature that puts the yacht at the top of its class, is the revolutionary and technologically advanced design. The unique fast displacement aluminum hull means that the Galactica Star is capable of reducing her environmental impact by 30 per cent while still achieving a top speed of 28.8 knots. This makes it the world’s largest fast displacement yacht. In fact, the Galactica Star is so impressive that it has been presented with three prestigious awards at the XXIII Monaco Yacht Show.
So, besides the fuel efficiency, why else do we rate this luxury yacht. Well, aboard you will find 6 cabins (accommodating 12 guests) including the VIP state room, duplex beach club and the master deck. Other amenities include a helicopter pad, garage, jacuzzi, swimming pool and sauna.
Built by Heesen in Netherlands and interiorly designed by Bannenberg & Rowell, this is a European venture whose technological innovation, revolutionary design, style and beauty has propelled it on to the international stage. A class act.
