The almost 56 metre long Perini Navi (2011) named "Galileo" has already travelled around the world several times and boasts a giga-range of 9,000 nautical miles.

From April this year, it will take its guests to the most beautiful island worlds of the Indian Ocean and to the waters around Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong. The steel hull - designed by Philippe Briand and specially reinforced for icy waters - would not be necessary, but who knows where it will go next year.

A few minutes by tender to the best diving spots

For the current destinations, it is definitely an advantage that the 9.5 metre long Zodiac tender, which can reach speeds of up to 35 knots, can reach the best snorkelling and diving spots in just a few minutes. If necessary, the eleven-strong crew can even get two more tenders out of the garage so that they can also take their professional deep-sea fishing equipment with them.

"Galileo" got a refit

A refit in 2023 brought the yacht up to date for twelve guests, including making the toys even more accessible. The classic yet contemporary interior appeals to a wide audience, while Asian influences set the mood for a holiday. "Galileo" costs from 280,000 euros at IYC.

Uske was born just outside Volkswagen in 1970 and tested various small boats with sails through her boyfriend (now husband 😊) on a quarry pond. Her studies in Kiel took her to the Baltic Sea with boats of all kinds and eventually to a regatta from Hong Kong to Mauritius via the Academic Sailing Club. Her teacher training ended at the Burda School of Journalism in Munich instead of in the classroom and finally at Boote Exclusiv. After a long break and various stories about house building, she returned to Delius Klasing and has been filling the magazine with long stories about large ships ever since. A family-owned H-boat was quickly sold again as the mother realized that sailing with two small children was neither relaxing nor fun.
