A closer look at the $50,000 boat that Jay Z and Beyoncé used for leisure

Power couple Jay Z and Beyoncé recently shown interest in the opulent yacht known as the Galactica Star, reportedly owned by Nigerian energy tycoon Kola Aluko.

At a pricey £50 million (€65 million, $73 million), this gorgeous 65-meter boat can reach a top speed of 28 knots (32 mph) in excellent circumstances. This watercraft is unique in that it uses 30% less power and has an amazing rate of fuel efficiency compared to similar vessels.

The Galactica Star has opulent living spaces that can house up to 12 guests, including an upper-deck VIP cabin, a full-beam master suite, and four double rooms. The boat is an excellent option for relaxing vacations because it has a charming “beach club” with a helipad, a large 10-square-meter balcony, and lots of entertainment spaces.

It is true that the boat is far more exclusive, even though there have been claims that it can be rented for an astounding $900,000 per week (£580,000). You have to know the owner personally in order to get permission to stay on the Galactica Star. By guaranteeing seclusion and individualized service, this elevates an already opulent experience to a higher level of exclusivity.

At the esteemed superyacht industry event known as “the Oscars of the superyacht industry,” the Galactica Star was awarded the esteemed Neptune Trophy in 2014. This accolade draws attention to the yacht’s outstanding performance and design, enhancing its standing as a genuine treasure in the world of luxury vessels.

The interior of the Galactica Star, created by the renowned Bannenberg and Rowell Design, melds perfectly with its streamlined, stainless hull. The 65-meter-long and 37-foot-wide yacht provides plenty of room for guests to relax and enjoy the sun, especially when traveling to warmer climates.

The Star can accommodate up to 12 guests in addition to many seating areas spread across different levels, guaranteeing comfort for each and every one of them.

Even with its significant 560 tons of weight (at 50% load), the Galactica Star is still among the quickest ships in its class, reaching remarkable speeds and providing a comfortable and delightful cruise.

A spacious 106 square meter sundeck with a bar and Jacuzzi, a 64 square meter “living deck” that doubles as a helipad, and an 80 square meter lower aft deck when tenders are kept in the front garage are some of the yacht’s standout features.

To sum up, the Galactica Star is a monument to luxury and style in the yachting industry. This amazing vessel never fails to captivate guests looking for the ultimate luxury experience on the high seas with her stunning design, first-rate amenities, and exclusivity.
