GALILEO G
If adventure and exploration are the ultimate aspirational
reasons why people purchase and build world cruising yachts,
Galileo G is simply the vehicle by which these dreams come
to fruition.
The owner asked the Vitruvius team to create a motor yacht
with the unique DNA of quality, innovation and performance.
Philippe Briand designed the 50m, ice class yacht with a
reinforced steel hull to deliver uncompromised performance.
He utilized maximum waterline length, efficient underwater
hull shape and purposeful styling to create an environment
that is as comfortable to be aboard crossing the roaring 40s as
she is when moored.
Guests enjoy wide open exterior spaces with unencumbered
panoramic views of the remarkable surroundings to which
they have chosen to voyage.
Galileo G looks like a thoroughbred and behaves like one too.
Performance efficiency is a priority and the 55m steel hull was
designed from the keel up with this goal. The low resistance
of the hull pushes her range of autonomy as far as 9000 miles.
The forward garage hoists a 9m long solid bottom tender.
Galileo G has continuously travelled the world’s oceans since
the day of her launch, completing 2 circumnavigations. Built
as an Ice Class yacht, Galileo G has also undertaken the
notorious Northwest Passage between Canada, Greenland
and the Arctic Ocean.
