Recent reports reveal Nigerian energy magnate Kola Aluko as the owner of the £50M luxury yacht Galactica Star, frequently chartered by power couple Jay Z and Beyoncé. Designed by Bannenberg and Rowell, this 65-meter vessel boasts innovative fuel-efficient construction, a “beach club” with a helipad, and accommodations for 12 people. Rumored to be exclusively chartered at $900,000 per week, access to this luxurious experience is said to require acquaintance with the owner. Awarded a Neptune Trophy in 2014, the Galactica Star’s contemporary design and top-notch amenities make it a prominent choice in the world of luxury yachts.
Measuring 213 feet in length and 37 feet in width, the Galactica Star, priced at £50M, competes with the cost of grand mansions. With a top-deck Jacuzzi, bar, seating area, and a viewing platform, the yacht offers lavish features while maintaining fuel efficiency, capable of covering over 4,500 nautical miles on a single tank.
