Recently, Jay Z and Beyoncé together with daughter Blue Ivy and some friends had a vacation using the "Galactica Star" ultra-luxury yacht, which is reportedly owned by Nigerian energy magnate Kola Aluko.
The 65 meters long and 11.3 meters wide yacht costs £50 million (€65 million, $73 million) and can travel at 28 knots (32 mph) in favorable conditions. It runs the same speed as other boats but consume 30 percent less power because it is energy efficient.
Up to 12 guests can be accommodated by the yacht with a full-beam master suite, an upper-deck VIP cabin, four further double cabins, 10-square-metre balcony, tons of space to entertain guests, and a helipad, Business Insider reported. Trained onboard staff looks after guests and prepare food in dedicated kitchens.
It costs $900,000 a week (£580,000) in order to stay on the yacht, the Mail Online reported. But aside from the fee, one should also personally know the owner in order to rent the yacht.
The Galactica Star was first seen in 2014 where it won a Neptune Trophy at "the Oscars of the super-yacht industry." This impressive yacht was designed by Bannenberg and Rowell Design, The Light News reported.
The interior has a sleek metallic look with swooping curves that are engineered out of an all-aluminum body. The yacht has a modern design utilizing a lot of glass to keep the space airy and light.
It has a 106-square-meter sundeck comprised with bar and Jacuzzi, a 64-square-meter "living deck" on the front, which also doubles as a helipad since it has a provision for a helicopter.
The yacht is designed to give everything one needs at the sea while they relax under the sun. During the night, the ship is lit with beautiful lighting which makes it a perfect venue for parties.
It features a state-of-the-art control room that is equipped with a large touch-screen display used to drive the yacht for over 4,500 nautical miles on a single tank of fuel, travelling at up to 28 knots (32 mph). It is considered one of the fastest yachts despite its 560 tons weight with a 50 percent load.
