According to recent rumors, the ultra-luxurious yacht Galactica Star, which Jay Z and Beyoncé recently leased for a holiday, is allegedly owned by Nigerian oil magnate Kola Aluko.
The 65-meter-long luxury yacht costs £50 million (€65 million, $73 million), can travel at speeds of up to 28 knots (32 mph), and has a price tag of £65 million. The ship is also very fuel-efficient because of the novel hull design. It requires up to 30% less power to maintain the same speed as it would normally, compared to boats of a similar size.
The Galactica Star can house 12 guests at once because to its full-beam master bedroom, upper-deck VIP cabin, and four more double cabins. Beyond this, there is a “beach club” with a helipad, a 10-square-meter balcony, and plenty of room for entertaining guests.
Rumors claim that the yacht may be rented for $900,000 (or £580,000) each week, however in actuality it is much more expensive: You must also be familiar with the owner in order to be permitted to stay on the yacht.
This is how it seems.
A Neptune Trophy was given to The Galactica Star, which made its debut in 2014, at what has been called “the Oscars of the super-yacht industry.”
The interior was created by one of the most esteemed names in yacht design, Bannenberg and Rowell Design. The interior was created to go well with the hull’s modern, metallic aspect.
The boat is equipped with everything you would need at sea, especially in warmer areas where visitors can unwind in the sun.
It is simple to go to and from the coast thanks to the Galactica Star’s ability to land and store a helicopter.
The Star has 12 beds, but it has room for many more guests on its various levels and in its various lounging areas. Guests can receive care from professional staff who also reside onboard.
The Star is one of the quickest ships in her class, capable of reaching speeds of up to 28 knots (32 mph), although weighing about 560 tons (with a 50% load).
The upper deck includes a Jacuzzi, bar, roomy seating space, and viewing platform in addition to towels embroidered with the Galactica Star.
The Star is big, but it also has a beautiful design, with soaring arcs made entirely of metal “oy.”
The boat contains space for employees as well as passengers, and its own kitchen is used only to make food for everyone aboard.
The yacht can go more than 4,500 nautical miles on a single tank of fuel thanks to the cutting-edge control room’s enormous touch-screen monitors.
The Star also includes a 64-square-meter “living deck” on the front (which doubles as a helipad) and an additional 80 square meters on the lower aft deck when the tenders are relocated to the front garage, in addition to the 106 square meters of sundeck with bar and Jacuzzi.
The ship is a great place to have parties because it is attractively lit at night.
A large amount of glass is used in the modern and innovative design to keep the room light and airy.
At £50 million (€65 million, $73 million), The Galactica Star has a price tag comparable to that of a sizable residence.
As the sun began to set over the azure horizon, the lavish yacht of Jay Z and Beyoncé sailed gracefully into the tranquil waters. Surrounded by laughter and music, the power couple shared a heartfelt toast, grateful for the memories made aboard their floating paradise. With a gentle breeze caressing their faces, they embraced, cherishing the magic of their opulent retreat, knowing that the bond forged amidst the waves would forever be etched in their souls.
