What if the greatest yacht ever built wasn’t just about luxury or size – but also about rewriting rules of what’s truly possible?

The Galactica Super Nova isn’t just Heesen Yachts’ largest creation; it’s a testament to what happens when bold vision meets relentless mastery.

Found in 1978 by Frans Heesen, Heesen Yachts is a Dutch shipyard based in Oss, Netherlands. They have established themselves as a beacon of excellence in the luxury yacht industry. 

For anyone who cherishes the call of the sea and the appeal of exclusivity, this vessel is an experience, not just a creation. Heesen has consistently redefined performance, innovation, and engineering standards for decades with its one-of-a-kind visionaries.

Over the decades, Heesen Yachts has delivered an array of iconic superyachts that have set benchmarks in the industry.

Best Of Hessen: Iconic Yachts That Stand Out

M-Y (50-meter / 164-foot) is a yacht that combines classic design elements with modern, sleek lines. It boasts impressive performance capabilities, including speeds up to 15 knots, and is designed for exceptional onboard experiences for guests.

Home (56m / 184-foot) This yacht is known for its distinctive design and comfort. The Home was designed by Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design. It features an open-plan layout with a posh interior that seamlessly integrates living and entertaining spaces, complemented by a luxurious interior featuring fine materials.

At 65 meters (213 feet), Tango embodies Heesen’s precision in blending design with exceptional performance. Known for its bold, eye-catching aesthetics, this yacht offers expansive, luxurious onboard spaces, including a full-beam master suite and a stylish beach club, setting the standard for magnificence on the water.

Whether it’s aerodynamic and modern designs with M-Y or making strides in sustainability with Home, Heesen’s yachts are always at the forefront of technological and design advancements in the yachting industry.

At 70 meters, the Galactica Super Nova is Heesen Yachts’ largest creation, a true masterpiece of design and engineering excellence.

This monumental vessel is a clear statement of the shipyard’s ability to reach its maximum potential, pushing the boundaries of engineering and design. 

The Galactica Super Nova, which was designed by Espen Øino and has Heesen’s recognizable Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF), is a performance and aesthetic marvel. With a top speed of 30 knots, it is notable for its unmatched power-to-efficiency ratio, which makes for an exciting and smooth ride even in rough seas. 

What Makes Galactica Super Nova Truly Special?

Few superyachts embody an equal blend of elegance, performance, and innovation like the 299-foot yacht. Known for state-of-the-art technology and high-end amenities, this yacht stands as the ultimate symbol of yachting excellence.

Hybrid Design for Excellent Performance

One of the key factors that brings light to Galactica is its Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF). This innovative design provides exceptional stability and fuel efficiency while cruising at high speeds, making the yacht not only faster but also more eco-friendly. 

Impressive Range and Versatility

Equipped with three powerful MTU 20V 4000 M93L engines, the Galactica Super Nova boasts incredible range and speed. Whether you’re cruising across the Mediterranean or exploring remote island chains, the yacht ensures you can travel further with less refueling, making it ideal for long voyages.

Glistening Exterior

The Galactica Super Nova’s sleek exterior design is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. The yacht’s modern materials, including aluminum and steel, contribute to its lightweight design, allowing for higher speeds without sacrificing durability.

Stunning Infinity Pool

A standout feature of the Galactica Super Nova is its 84-square-foot infinity pool, complete with a waterfall that doubles as a skylight for the beach club below. In addition to providing the ideal setting for relaxation, this gorgeous pool blends luxury and nature in a way that produces a scenic view as it seems to spill into the sea below.

Unparalleled Interior

The inside of the Galactica Super Nova, which was created by the well-known Sinot Yacht Design, is astonishing. Every area, from the large salon to the cozy dining rooms, radiates warmth and sophistication. Comfy staterooms, including a full-beam master suite with stunning views of the ocean, are available to guests, guaranteeing that luxury and comfort are never lacking.

Heesen Yachts’ Galactica Super Nova is a remarkable example of contemporary engineering and design, with elegance, performance, and up-to-date technologies that set it apart from other superyachts. 

Conclusion

The Galactica Super Nova is not just a yacht; it is a revolutionary milestone in marine engineering. Its groundbreaking fast displacement hull form, paired with jet propulsion, allows it to achieve exceptional speeds, setting a new standard. This yacht is a true icon, blending speed, luxury, and creativity into a masterpiece that will continue to inspire the industry for years to come.

Galactica is often seen gliding through the serene waters of the Mediterranean, – a dream come true for yachting enthusiasts. But let’s be real – not everyone can hop aboard this floating palace or even make a brief trip to see it. That doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the yachting experience completely.

Dubai’s vibrant yachting scene offers the perfect alternative with its awe-worthy cityscape. From aerodynamic, modern yachts to grand party boats, there’s something for everyone. Mala Yachts offers an exceptional way to take in Dubai’s stunning views and world-famous skyline. 

Among the many amazing yachts they have, the Desert Rose is one I would highly recommend. While the Desert Rose cannot fully replicate the grandeur of Galactica, it offers a glimpse into the same world of sophistication and luxury.
