Designed to thrive in all geographical zones with extreme climates and landscapes, GALILEO’s exterior is equipped with heated deck gear to prevent freezing in polar conditions and a wave breaker on the foredeck for superior seakeeping. Comfortable and silent navigation is ensured thanks to excellent noise and vibration insulation. An abundance of tenders and toys ensures unparalleled exploration opportunities.

A true explorer at heart, GALILEO boasts a 9,000 nautical mile range, setting a double world circumnavigation record. The SeaTel satellite dome enables navigation up to and beyond 70° North and South, while the FarSounder sonar mounted in the bow enhances underwater awareness. Ice knives on the rudders provide essential protection for polar navigation, and the super-tough Nibral propellers are built for endurance in the most demanding conditions. A powerful Naiad bow thruster ensures added maneuverability, while the yacht’s redundant engineering allows it to operate in single-engine get-home mode to optimize fuel efficiency.
As a proven and highly sought-after charter yacht, she offers a rare combination of adventure-driven capabilities and timeless elegance. Launched in 2011, her rugged yet sophisticated aesthetic defies the typical explorer yacht appearance, making her an exceptional choice for those seeking to cruise the world’s most breathtaking destinations in unmatched style and comfort.
