The 65m FDHF motor yacht Galactica Star was first presented in 2010 at the Yacht Club de Monaco and was sold to a Heesen repeat client right after. Researched by the world’s leading maritime engineers, the Galactica Star yacht features a revolutionary fast displacement and extremely efficient hull. This yacht has the highest power to weight ratio of any comparable yacht.
The Heesen 65m Galactica Star Yacht offers a number of unique features, such as a duplex beach club found aft on the main and lower decks with a 10 square metre side balcony on the port side and 22 square metre swimming pool platform.
On the lower deck guests will find a sauna, hammam, shower room, day head and a fully equipped bar. Another interesting feature is the glass bottom swimming-pool on the main deck, allowing the natural light to glimmer through the water to the bar area beneath. On the fore deck there is a large sunbathing area, which can be transformed into a touch-and-go heli-deck. The tender garages with gull-wing doors are also located beneath the foredeck.
Galactica Star yacht is run by twin MTU 20V4000M93L engines and is expected to reach a maximum speed of 27knots and a 4,200-nautical-mile range at 14 knots of speed. She is due to be delivered in June 2013.
