At 70 metres in length, the largest Heesen yacht in the shipyard's history is currently undergoing intensive sea trials before being handed over to the owner in the near future.

As with previous Heesen formats, the antenna mast and the flybridge superstructure of the new flagship were only installed after the transfer to bridge-free waters due to the great height.

The shipyard with halls in Oss spent almost 30 months building the aluminium semi-glider equipped with Fast Displacement Hull Form. The hydrodynamics professionals at Van Oossanen Naval Architects optimised the hull of the sporty, striking Espen Øino design for a maximum speed of up to 30 knots. A top speed that the owner had integrated into the construction contract as an immovable component.

The bright and timeless interior of the imposing power format - which is very similar to the 65 metre long "Galactica Star" delivered in 2013 - was created on the computers of the Dutch design team led by Sander Sinot. The owner engaged Sabrina Monte Carlo for the interior décor.

The special "Galactica Super Nova" features include a large pool with counter-current system and waterfall, as well as a heli-pad on the foredeck that can be transformed into a huge outdoor cinema if required.
