GLOBE READY

Galileo is a 55.7m expedition yacht for sale by Picchiotti/Perini Navi that has circled the world - not once but twice. Designed by Philippe Briand with a full-displacement hull and an extreme range of 9,000 nautical miles, Galileo is the go-anywhere platform for dive and surf expeditions in the most remote corners of the globe.

Custom-built for serious exploration but dressed in style, she blends traditional Italian craftsmanship with contemporary flair. A scene stealer, Galileo won the international superyacht society award and was a finalist in both the world superyacht awards and showboats design awards in 2012. Silent cruising, hybrid systems, and a focus on sustainability make her an eco-conscious explorer with serious reach.
