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.

Sources, assumptions and methodology
Indicative SYG estimate. Value basis: Length-and-age model using length. Central annual OPEX uses the established 14% of estimated yacht value fallback, adjusted for yacht age where available. Low and high cases reflect utilisation, condition, crewing, fuel, berthing and maintenance uncertainty. Capital reserve is shown separately from routine OPEX. Figures must be replaced or upgraded when reported accounts, invoices, court records or other yacht-specific evidence is available.
Calculation version: SYG-FI-1.0 · Last reviewed: 25 July 2026
Financial figures may include reported expenditure, source-derived calculations and indicative estimates. Estimated figures are not audited accounts, quotations or financial advice.

How to read this history:
Superyacht Guide estimates,
brokerage asking prices and
documented transaction values are
stored as separate record types.
The first baseline record marks the
beginning of permanent Superyacht
Guide value-history tracking; the
absence of an earlier record does
not mean the yacht had no earlier
market value or sale history.
