Superyacht Guide Awards are editorial ratings based on available information and review criteria.
At 70 metres overall, Galactica Super Nova is the largest Heesen built to date. With an impressive top speed of 30 knots, this aluminium yacht with a Fast Displacement Hull Form is one of the fastest superyachts in her class in the world.
Galactica Super Nova’s head-turning exterior design is by Espen Øino, who worked on a pre-established technical platform provided by Heesen. Her profile embodies Heesen’s DNA, but also introduces new design elements that make her one of the brightest stars in the Heesen galaxy.
Galactica Super Nova’s classic-contemporary interior is a paragon of elegance and comfort. The designer Sander Sinot worked closely with the owners to create a design that perfectly suits their lifestyle and taste.
