The Sailing Yacht that Started a Revolution is Back on the Market

    MONACO, April 06, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Launched in 1997 to much excitement in Viareggio by the renowned Italian shipyard Perini Navi, S/Y GALAXIA (formally LIBERTY) was seen by many to be a ground breaking yacht. Since its launch S/Y GALAXIA is the flybridge sailing yacht that all flybridge sailing yachts have tried to replicate.

"Simply put, she raised the standard for all sailing yachts to come," says her YPI Sales & New Construction broker, Matt Albert.

A 54m twin-screw Bermudian Ketch, S/Y GALAXIA can accommodate up to 12 guests in five staterooms as well as ten crewmembers on board.

"There are not many modern yachts in the world about which so much has been said when it comes to the experience of being on board," says Head of YPI Charter, Fiona Maureso. "GALAXIA is, however, most certainly one. All cabins are en-suite; the owner's suite even includes its own Jacuzzi.

There is a lot of clean deck space for dining and sunbathing and she offers a superb cocktail area forward, Jacuzzi on the flybridge, elegant aft-deck dining, a mini gym and all the toys and tenders you could need for an amazing time on board."

Following a comprehensive refit in 2007, GALAXIA now boasts the latest in entertainment and communication systems. And with a possible range of over 4,000 nautical miles she is one of the most economical luxury yachts for charter.

"We are very proud to have GALAXIA back in both our charter and brokerage fleets," concludes Matt.

S/Y GALAXIA is available for luxury yacht charter this summer season for EUR140,000/per week. Those interested in a more permanent solution to their chartering needs and interested in S/Y GALAXIA as a luxury yacht for sale will have to meet an asking price of $22,000,000.
