galactica star
Galactica Star is a 65 metre Heesen – the largest yacht we have ever built. It is the world’s first aluminium yacht with a fast displacement
hull. As a result, she has achieved what was considered impossible if you think along conventional lines. Fortunately, Heesen does not.
In a world where a 5 per cent gain is considered a triumph, this hull is 30 per cent more efficient than any other yet tested.
A top speed of over 28 knots but using 20 per cent less fuel than conventional yachts. A range of 4.200 miles at 14 knots and the highest
power to weight ratio of any comparable yacht.
Leave aside the technical and enjoy the lifestyle. Deck space is staggering with over 267 square metres on her three upper decks.
The foredeck is both a helipad and sun terrace set over gull wing doors that open to reveal a full beam tender garage.
With five zero speed gyro stabilizers, 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.
With her incredible speed advantage, while other yachts are cruising to the destination, you and your guests are relaxing on the sun deck.
Beach club? It’s more like an entire private resort. The side platform measures over 10 square metres, perfect for two sunbeds and
a drinks table. The swimming platform is 22 square metres, ideal for four more guests to relax and decide the best way to take a
swim - dive in or elegantly descend the carbon-fibre stepladder. Inside is the beach club’s 77 square metre air-conditioned lounge;
comfortable sofas, a fully stocked bar, a sauna and large plasma screen.
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 metre Jacuzzi.
LOWER DECK BEACH CLUB
Deck space from stem to stern - sunbathe, relax, swim, entertain. Galactica Star is the epitome of the Heesen theme: everything you
could possibly want, everywhere you could possibly want it.
SUN DECK The foredeck has a sunbathing terrace as well as a casual dining
area. Shade is provided by awnings tethered to demountable
pillars. This is also such a great place for a party with a dance
area few clubs could rival.
There is a choice of ten locations to dine: a quick snack in the beach club to a long lazy lunch on the sun deck, a candle-lit dinner with
gorgeous panoramic views on the upper deck terrace, a finger buffet and cocktails on the foredeck, Champagne and crudités at the
main deck bar, the more formal setting of the main dining saloon.
SUN DECK
The sky lounge and upper deck dining terrace combine into a wonderful space of over 70 square metres. It can be either intimate
for two guests or large enough for entertaining a group of friends.
UPPER DECK DINING TERRACE
The main deck bar and aft terrace. A bioethanol fireplace, backlit LED ceiling, a bar with polished steel strips and an oak floor with
bleached wenge detailing, create an intimate highly sophisticated atmosphere.
MAIN DECK AFT TERRACE
The 92 square metre triple aspect main saloon with a formal dining area that leads
through to the mid section bar and out to the lounge.
Bannenberg and Rowell’s interior design is dramatic, striking, highly original and extremely demanding of several different skills quite
apart from the final construction process. Heesen Yachts Interiors and Sinnex worked together to create complex panelling, intricate
furniture pieces and inlaid surfaces that can only be described as the art of craftsmanship.
Part of the overall concept is the interaction between guests and crew – particularly with regard to food. The large main deck galley
has a chef’s table, a concept taken from the world’s top restaurants.
MAIN DECKDINE-IN GALLEY
A grand staircase connects the lower three decks. The circular walls are lined with macassar ebony with polished steel stripes, like all
the other detailing, made in-house at our metal works department.
The 72 square metre master suite is on the main deck. The full beam bedroom includes a private balcony screened off behind full height
windows. Breathtaking levels of light and spectacular views make this such an inspiring inner sanctum. A mirrored wall opposite
the walk-in wardrobe only further serves to emphasise the size of the suite.
The bathroom is almost entirely built of heavyweight stone, veneered by skilled Heesen masons to a thickness of a few millimeters.
Custom-made Lexington marble basins are set into silver travertine vanity units. Matching marble panels over such a large number
of surfaces and different directions was a task of fastidious dedication.
LOWER DECK GUEST SUITE
Twelve guests sleep in a master suite, an upper deck VIP bedroom with a separate lounge and four lower deck double suites all with
bathrooms of the same peerless quality as the master.

specificationGALACTICA STAR
heesena company built by yachts
Heesen is recognised as the world leader in aluminium construction,
so it is particularly pleasing that our steel yachts also
consistently win major awards.
In one of the most modern
construction facilities in the world,
every aspect of every yacht is geared towards
achieving our exceptional standards of engineering.
Our 4.4 hectare Oss shipyard has nine sheds and five dry docks. Each year, over
four million parts are meticulously used in the construction of up to eight yachts.
For the quality, at the price, we believe Heesen yachts are the finest value in
the world. The current range includes aluminium and steel, displacement,
semi-displacement and the new revolutionary fast displacement.
A Heesen will always stand for individuality and quality in a world where these ideals are increasingly compromised.
A Heesen will always be hand-built by craftsmen in Holland.
A Heesen will always be custom-built to combine the Owner’s ideas with our expertise.
A Heesen will always be the highest denominator of performance and luxury.
A Heesen will always look like a Heesen because it performs like a Heesen.
