Inside the Extravagant £50M Yacht Where Jay Z and Beyoncé Unwound on Their Luxurious Vacation

Recent reports indicate that Nigerian energy magnate Kola Aluko is the purported owner of the ultra-luxurious yacht Galactica Star, which was recently chartered by Jay Z and Beyoncé for a vacation.

The luxury yacht has a length of 65 meters, a price tag of £50 million (€65 million, $73 million), and the ability to reach speeds of up to 28 knots (32 mph) when conditions are favorable. Because of the innovative hull construction, the vessel is also incredibly fuel-efficient. In comparison to boats of a similar size, it requires up to thirty percent less power to maintain the same speed as it would otherwise.

With its full-beam master bedroom, upper-deck VIP cabin, and four other double cabins, the Galactica Star has the capacity to accommodate up to 12 people at a time. Beyond this, there is a “beach club” that features a helipad, a balcony that is 10 square meters in size, and a ton of space for entertaining visitors.

There have been rumors that the yacht may be chartered for $900,000 a week (or £580,000), however in reality, it is significantly more exclusive: To be allowed to stay on the yacht, you must also be acquainted with the owner.

Here’s what it looks like.

The Galactica Star, which debuted in 2014, was awarded a Neptune Trophy at an event dubbed “the Oscars of the super-yacht industry.”

Bannenberg and Rowell Design, one of the most prestigious names in yacht design, created the interior. The interior is designed to complement the sleek, metallic appearance of the hull.

The Galactica Star has a length of 213 feet (65 meters) and a width of 37 feet (11.3 meters).

The yacht is outfitted with everything you could possibly need at sea, catering particularly to warmer climates where guests can relax in the sun.

The Galactica Star can land and store a helicopter, making getting to and from the shore a breeze.

The Star can sleep 12 people but can accommodate many more across multiple levels with different seating areas. Guests can be attended to by trained personnel who also live onboard.

The Star can travel at up to 28 knots (32 mph) despite weighing around 560 tons (with a 50% load), making it one of the fastest boats in its class.

The top deck features a Jacuzzi, bar, large seating area, and viewing platform, as well as towels with Galactica Star embroidery.

While the Star is large, it is also attractively designed, with swooping curves engineered from an all-aluminum ƅоԀy.

Aside from guests, the boat can accommodate staff and has a dedicated kitchen for preparing food for those onboard.

The control room is cutting-edge, with large touch-screen displays that allow the yacht to travel over 4,500 nautical miles on a single tank of fuel.

Aside from the 106-square-meter sundeck with bar and Jacuzzi, the Star has a 64-square-meter “living deck” on the front (which also serves as a helipad) and an additional 80 square meters on the lower aft deck when the tenders are moved to the front garage.

The ship is beautifully lit at night and is an ideal location for hosting parties.

The contemporary and forward-thinking design incorporates a lot of glass, which helps to keep the space light and airy.

The Galactica Star costs about the same as a large mansion at £50 million (€65 million, $73 million).
