Award-winning Galileo is purpose-built for extraordinary voyages, offering intrepid charter guests the thrill of diving unexplored reefs and riding the world’s best waves – all in one journey. Her exploration-focused design provides the perfect platform to experience off-the-beaten-track itineraries, from night dives with bioluminescent plankton to surfing empty lineups in tropical atolls. With an approved dive centre onboard and expert guides, Galileo unlocks underwater wonders few ever see. Each day promises a new horizon: wake to dolphins off the bow, picnic on an uninhabited beach, or trek through virgin rainforest – all while indulging in five-star comfort between pursuits.

Built by Italy’s famed Perini Navi shipyard with design by Philippe Briand, Galileo strikes a balance between rugged capability and refined luxury.

Her ice-capable hull and staggering range of 9,000 NM empower epic voyages across oceans, yet her interior is an oasis of elegance, winning her multiple design awards. Originally conceived for global cruising, Galileo has circumnavigated the globe twice, collecting a treasure trove of experiences.

Charter itineraries can span from the spice markets of Asia to whale-rich waters of the South Pacific. Along the way, her crew fosters meaningful connections with local communities, supporting remote schools and leading beach clean-ups.

For guests, this translates into a richer journey – one where you might learn to surf on a secret Maldivian break in the morning, then enjoy a sunset yoga session on deck, followed by a gourmet dinner under the stars. Galileo’s legacy as a double world-cruiser means she’s fully equipped for anything – be it deploying Zodiacs to scout a mangrove-lined river or hosting a candlelit barbecue on a deserted sandbank.

Dive & Surf Exploration Hub: Outfitted as a PADI dive center with top-line gear, plus surfboards and a high-speed Zodiac for chasing remote waves.
Adventure Toys & Tenders: JetSkis, fishing gear, kayaks, Seabobs, and more, enabling exploration by sea, land, and beneath the waves.
Luxury in All Conditions: Despite her expedition build, Galileo pampers guests with impeccable service, a fresh interior refit, and zero-speed stabilizers for comfort.
