Galileo G superyacht, born from the collaboration with Vitruvius Ltd, Philippe Briand and Perini Navi Group, was designed for navigation and exploration in the most remote areas of the world including the Arctic and the Antarctic.

Designed for maximum efficiency in total autonomy thanks to the lean, sleek lines of its BOS® Hull, or Briand Optimized Stretched Hull.

Motor Yacht Galileo G has been designed and created following Ice Class IB (ABS Ice Class IB) regulations that will permit it to navigate the Northwest Passage between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.

Her hull is in steel with a protective ice belt of scantlings all around the waterline- especially in the bow, amidships and in the stern- constructed to make the hull more resistant to possible collisions with ice.

Built for maximum efficiency and potential for exploration, Galileo G, on top of her structural robustness and powerful propulsion systems for navigation through ice, has the necessary running systems, design characteristics and accessories to obtain Winterization, a denomination that distinguishes vessels that can navigate safely and for long periods of time in ice and at very low temperatures.

The yacht also has a telescopic retractable ice detection system that transmits through a 3D monitor in the pilothouse. This system can detect submerged and semi-submerged obstacles along the vessel’s path at distances over 1km.

Galileo G yacht also comes equipped with various toys including three tenders – a 9.5mt Zodiac Hurricane with a reinforced aluminium hull, another 6.3mt tender and a 4.2mt dedicated rescue tender- two Lasers and four kayaks.
