With five zero speed gyro stabilisers, Galactica Star handles like no other yacht of her size. She is also incredibly steady at anchor. The sleek, streamlined superstructure is perfectly balanced both above and below the sea by a special bow that cuts through the water.

Even at 65 metres, it is so easy to move around this yacht. Wrap around side decks and wide steps connect every level.

Main deck and Jacuzzi By Omega Architects The upper level of the beach club is on the maindeck. Omega Architects’ dramatic exterior styling is inspiringly bold. The vast curves of the superstructure form a vital part of the monocoque structure. It is not usual on an exotic car but it’s highly unusual on a 65-metre yacht. Set out under four skylights that span almost the entire width of the deck, banquette sofas and Glyn Peter Machin signature armchairs create an incredibly relaxed atmosphere. Steps lead up to the infinity view glass bottom 3.5 square metre Jacuzzi.

The designer’s idea, the owner’s enthusiasm - the buck stops at Heesen to problem solve and create something astonishing. Wall panel ideas included an interlinking weave of wenge edged...
