Despite being the largest yacht ever made by Dutch ship-building company Heesen, the Galactica glides through the water with great grace - and speed.
Its aerodynamic design and aluminium hull allow it to reach speeds of up to 28 knots (32mph) and has a range of 4,200 miles at 14 knots (16mph).
The Galactica's sumptuous master cabin, the upper-deck VIP cabin and four guest suites can comfortably house 12 passengers who are serviced by 13 crew.
The 'full-beam' master suite comes with a private balcony, a walk-in wardrobe and spectacular views of the ocean.
And when guests want to sunbathe under the scorching Mediterranean sun, they can choose from an array of areas on the yacht's 267-square-metres of space on three upper decks.
They can sunbathe on the side platform which is 'perfect for two sunbeds and a drinks table' or jump into the sea from the Galactica's 'beach club', a 22-square-metre landing at the yacht's back where guests can jump into the sea for a swim.

There is a 77-square-metre air-conditioned lounge, luxurious sofas, fully-stocked bar, sauna and plasma TV directly inside the 'beach club'.
The Galactica's brochure claims there are 10 different places to dine on board. 
It says passengers can grab a quick bite at the 'beach club', a lazy lunch on the sundeck, a romantic dinner with spectacular panoramic views on the upper deck, a finger buffet on the foredeck and a formal, sit-down meal in the main dining saloon.
The large main deck gallery has its own chef's table, a concept taken from the world's top restaurants.
The yacht, owned by Nigerian businessman Kola Aluko, has won several awards including the top prize at the Monaco Yacht show, Nigerian websites reported. 
It has raised the bar and redefined how the luxury vessels are designed, according to Superyacht Times.
It wrote: 'Along with excellent guest accommodations, [Galactica Star] hosts a collection of equally impressive exterior areas that will have guests enjoy their time on board to the fullest.
'The sun deck offers an array of amenities with more than enough to enjoy for everyone. From the big panoramic cockpit fore, the bar and lounge areas, the aft Jacuzzi and the big sun pads, the sun deck is an outstanding finale for a superyacht that is exquisite in every sense.' 
So many choices: Passengers can sunbathe on the side platform which is 'perfect for two sunbeds and a drinks table' or jump into the sea from the Galactica's 'beach club', located on the back of the yacht

  1. So before you even start to think about the kind of Caribbean contract vessel you need, you'll need to at any rate get a general thought of what Caribbean Island and experience you need.
