Heesen Yachts is proud to announce the delivery of its largest yacht to date, 70m Galactica Super Nova, after intensive sea trials in the North Sea.
Sold in December 2013, the superyacht's aluminium hull was engineered by Heesen’s in-house team in collaboration with the renowned Dutch naval architects van Oossanen. She was built and delivered in just 41 months.

Galactica Super Nova, thanks to her high-performance Fast Displacement Hull Form coupled with an innovative propulsion system, exceeded the top speed by 0.3 knots to reach a maximum speed of 30.3 knots.
The propulsion system consists of two MTU wing engines with fixed pitch propellers and a third central engine with Rolls Royce booster water jet. The first time such a configuration has been applied to a superyacht, it provides acceleration from 0 to 30 knots in just 75 seconds, making Galactica Super Nova not only one of the 200 largest yachts in the world but also one of the fastest.

Beyond the performance and cutting-edge engineering, the vessel is wrapped in an exterior design by Espen Øino, who worked on a pre-established technical platform provided by Heesen.
The superyacht can accommodate 12 guests in 6 staterooms. The master suite is located on the main deck forward, with a VIP cabin on the wheel house deck aft and four guest cabins on the lower deck.

Galactica Super Nova will make her official début at the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show after a busy summer season in the Mediterranean; here the yachting community will have the chance to admire also the beautiful interiors that Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design has created for the superyacht.
