According to sources, Nigerian energy magnate Kola Aluko owns the Galactica Star, which Jay Z and Beyoncé leased for a holiday.
The 65-meter boat costs £50 miℓℓio𝚗 (€65 miℓℓio𝚗, $73 miℓℓio𝚗) and can reach 28 knots (32 mph) in good weather. The fuel-efficient watercraft has a unique hull design. It uses 30% less power than comparable boats to maintain speed.
The Galactica Star can hold 12 people in its full-beam master suite, upper-deck VIP cabin, and four double rooms. The “beach club” has a helipad, a 10-square-meter balcony, and plenty of space for entertaining.
Despite speculations that the yacht may be chartered for $900,000 a week (or £580,000), it is much more exclusive: The yacht owner must know you to stay.
