GALACTICA STAR turns dining into part of the itinerary by giving guests ten possible places to eat across more than 267 square metres of upper-deck space.
Heesen's 65-metre GALACTICA STAR has an unusual hospitality detail that says more about life aboard than another formal dining room ever could: guests can dine in ten different locations. With more than 267 square metres across the three upper decks, meals can follow weather, light and mood instead of remaining tied to one fixed table.
Ten dining settings keep meals from becoming repetitive
Heesen says the crew can transform ten different locations for dining at different times of day. Breakfast might happen close to the morning light, lunch in shade and dinner somewhere more private once the yacht is illuminated after dark.
This flexibility matters on longer trips because meals provide much of the daily structure aboard. Changing the setting can make familiar routines feel fresh without relying on increasingly elaborate menus or formal entertainment.
The upper decks provide the room to change mood
More than 267 square metres of space is spread across three upper decks, giving the crew enough separation to create distinct dining and lounging environments. A large yacht can therefore offer variety without constantly rearranging the same small area.
The benefit is emotional as much as practical. Guests can associate particular decks with particular moments, allowing the yacht to develop a rhythm that changes between quiet mornings, active afternoons and more celebratory evenings.
The foredeck can switch between helipad and sun terrace
GALACTICA STAR's foredeck serves both as a helipad and a sun terrace, demonstrating the multifunctional thinking that runs through the yacht. Beneath it, gull-wing doors reveal a full-beam tender garage large enough for a 7.5-metre speedboat.
This kind of transformation helps keep operational equipment from permanently dominating guest space. When aviation or tender functions are not required, valuable deck area can return to the people aboard rather than remaining visually dedicated to machinery.
Hospitality becomes part of the yacht's movement
The yacht's Fast Displacement Hull Form was created to combine speed with efficiency, but the lifestyle result is more interesting: guests can move quickly between destinations and then experience each new place from several different social settings. The journey itself becomes part of the hospitality rather than dead time between meals.
Dining becomes a way of noticing where the yacht is. A meal facing a new coastline, harbour or sunset feels different even when the people and menu are familiar, turning the changing view into part of the hospitality itself.
