Why GALILEO

About GALILEO

For guests dreaming of a true explorer, GALILEO is hard to beat. This award-winning 55-metre Picchiotti, built to a Vitruvius design with an ice-class hull, is a highly experienced expedition yacht that has circumnavigated the globe twice. From her classic interiors to the humpback whale vertebra in the main salon, she wears her adventures with pride.

Guest accommodation

Twelve guests are hosted in five cabins finished in classic, characterful style. A crew of 11 keeps the yacht capable on long passages and attentive at anchor, wherever in the world she ventures.

Onboard comfort & entertainment

Her real appeal is the places she can reach, from high latitudes to remote coastlines, thanks to her ice-class hull and 9,000-nautical-mile range. Aboard, her classic interiors and unusual touches, like that whale vertebra, give her a genuine sense of story.

Performance & range

GALILEO cruises at 12 knots and reaches 16, and her Vitruvius-designed, ice-class hull, paired with a 9,000-nautical-mile range, makes genuinely remote expeditions possible.

Toys & tenders

A practical set of tenders and expedition kit travels with her for remote coastlines and warm anchorages alike. Tell us your dream destination and we will build the week around it.
