A closer look
Aft Deck Al Fresco
The expansive aft deck serves as the yacht’s social heart, where the gentle sea breeze and panoramic views create an idyllic setting. Here, a large, polished wood table invites long, languid brunches or spirited evening meals. Comfortable, cushioned seating arrangements encourage convivial conversation, while the proximity to the water’s edge offers an immediate connection to the azure surroundings. It is a space designed for both vibrant gatherings and quiet contemplation as the sun dips below the horizon.
Sundeck Solarium
Ascend to the sundeck, a haven for sun worshippers and stargazers alike. Plush sun loungers are strategically placed to offer uninterrupted vistas, perfect for soaking up the East Mediterranean warmth. An outdoor shower provides a refreshing respite from the heat, while ample space allows for morning yoga or simply unwinding with a book. As night falls, this deck transforms into an observatory, offering unparalleled views of the constellations, far from shore lights.
Main Saloon Sanctuary
Step into the main saloon, a cool, air-conditioned retreat from the midday sun. Rich, natural wood finishes and soft furnishings create an atmosphere of understated luxury. Here, an indoor audio system provides a curated soundtrack to your journey, while a large flat-screen television offers entertainment for all. This versatile space is ideal for pre-dinner cocktails, a quiet moment with a novel, or engaging in lively discussion with fellow guests.
Bridge Deck Lounge
The bridge deck presents another inviting lounge area, slightly elevated for enhanced perspectives of the passing scenery. This sophisticated space, often more intimate than the main saloon, offers comfortable seating arrangements and excellent connectivity with Wi-Fi access. It’s a perfect spot for catching up on emails, enjoying a board game, or simply observing the captain's navigations from a discreet distance, all within an elegant, climate-controlled environment.
Foredeck Panorama
The forward deck provides an exhilarating vantage point, particularly as the yacht glides through the water. Here, guests can feel the spray on their faces and experience the true sensation of being at sea. It’s an ideal spot for enjoying a morning coffee as the islands awaken, or for quiet contemplation as the yacht approaches a new anchorage. The open expanse offers an unparalleled sense of freedom and connection to the vastness of the ocean.
Accommodation
GALILEO offers an exceptional arrangement for larger groups, boasting 24 individual cabins designed for comfort and privacy. Each room is a tranquil haven, featuring thoughtful amenities and a soothing décor that complements the yacht's classic aesthetic. While a traditional 'master suite' is redefined by the sheer volume of high-quality accommodation, the layout ensures every guest enjoys a serene retreat. The careful configuration provides ample space for up to 49 guests, making her a superb choice for large family gatherings, corporate retreats, or special celebrations, all while maintaining an intimate yachting experience.
Culinary delights aboard GALILEO are a central focus, with a dedicated chef crafting exquisite menus tailored to your preferences. From fresh, locally sourced Mediterranean ingredients to international gourmet selections, every meal is an event. The expansive BBQ on the aft deck provides a delightful option for open-air grilling under the stars, while elegant interior dining spaces offer a more formal setting. Expect vibrant flavours, artful presentation, and impeccable service, all designed to enhance your voyage through the East Mediterranean's culinary landscape.
While GALILEO focuses on shared experiences, moments of personal rejuvenation are readily available. The sundeck offers ample space for sunbathing and quiet contemplation, benefiting from the refreshing sea air. The outdoor shower provides a quick, invigorating rinse after a swim. With the tranquil East Mediterranean as your backdrop, simply unwinding on deck with a good book or enjoying the gentle rhythm of the sea contributes significantly to a sense of well-being.
For those eager to engage with the crystal-clear waters of the East Mediterranean, GALILEO offers a selection of water toys. Explore hidden coves and tranquil bays aboard the kayaks, or glide across the serene surface on a paddleboard. For a taste of the local marine life, light fishing gear is available. These options provide delightful opportunities for active enjoyment and discovery, ensuring every moment on the water is filled with enjoyment and adventure.

What a yacht like GALILEO costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on GALILEO is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 48m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
