GALACTICA SUPER NOVA At 70 metres overall, Galactica Super Nova is the largest Heesen built to date. With an impressive top speed of 30 knots, the aluminium Fast Displacement vessel is one of the fastest superyachts in her class in the world. Galactica Super Nova’s head-turning exterior design is by Espen Øino, who worked on a pre-established technical platform provided by Heesen. Her profile embodies Heesen’s DNA, but also introduces new design elements that make her one of the brightest stars in the Heesen galaxy. What makes Galactica Super Nova different from every other yacht in her class is how she combines high speed with long range and low fuel consumption. At cruising speed the yacht is able to voyage comfortably and economically for over 4,000 nautical miles with no compromise on luxury. When combined with fixed pitch propellers and a Rolls Royce central booster jet, Galactica Super Nova is not only fast, but also highly manoeuvrable in all sea conditions and extremely quiet A Luxury yacht (also super-yacht, large yacht and mega-yacht) is a very expensive, privately owned, professionally crewed sailing or motor yacht. There is no industry-wide standard for the difference between super-yacht and mega-yacht. The only legal distinction is between yachts above 24 metres (79 ft) and below, as in some countries those above 24 meters must have a permanent crew onboard. super-yacht Christina O of Aristotle Onassis The super-yacht term began to appear at the beginning of the 20th century, when wealthy individuals constructed large private yachts for personal pleasure, such as Charles Henry Fletcher's Jemima F. III, at 111 feet, the largest motor- powered yacht in the world in 1908.[2] More examples of early luxury super-yacht / motor yachts include the Cox & King yachts, Charles L. Seabury and Company's yachts, M/Y (motor yacht) Christina O, and M/Y Savarona. Early luxury sailing yachts include America's Cup classic J class racers such as Endeavour and Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock. Between 1997 and 2008, there was a massive growth in the number, size, and popularity of large private or super-sized luxury yachts in the 24-to-70-metre (79 to 230 ft) size range. Luxury yachts, mega-yachts, or super-yachts typically have no real home port as such, although a yacht must be registered in a port of the country where its flag state is registered. Popular flag state registrars for large yachts are Cayman Islands, Marshall Islands, Isle of Man, and the British Virgin Islands, among others. (Many times the yacht will have never been to these ports.) They are particularly bountiful in the Mediterranean Sea in summer and the Caribbean Sea in winter. Some can be chartered (rented) for sums of up to 1 million Euro per week. A super-yacht will dock in a port of choosing while the crew does maintenance work and waits for owners or guests to arrive. The super-yachts then will do short cruises with the owners and/or guests aboard. Typical destinations in Spain and the French and Italian Rivieras include Cannes, Antibes, St. Tropez, Monte Carlo, Portofino, Porto Cervo, Puerto Banús, Puerto Portals, and Palma, Majorca, although increasingly luxury yachts are cruising in more remote areas of the world. Antigua is one of the main ports in the Windward Islands of the Caribbean and hosts a Charter Show at the beginning of the winter season. The 163.5 metres (536 ft) M/Y Eclipse super-yacht, was built by Blohm + Voss for Russian businessman Roman Abramovich super-yacht, and the 180 metres (590 ft) Azzam super-yacht launched in 2013 are the largest private yachts in the world. Luxury boatbuilding and yacht charter companies are predominantly based in Western Europe and the United States but are also increasingly found in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, and Eastern Europe. In 2015, the market has had a similar year to 2014 with some large deliveries such as the 125m Golden Odyssey by Lurssen or the 101m Feadship Symphony but no significant sign of change for the brokerage market with 2015 being a slower year than 2014. Yachts from 24 metres (79 ft) and up qualify for design awards, but given the number of yachts exceeding 100 feet, many set the minimum length for a super-yacht higher. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxury_yacht
