Wallycento 30m Galateia

Galateia Allows Wallycento to Show Off what they do Best

Following the launch of the Magic Carpet and several other sailing yachts, the yachting community has learned to have very high expectations for Wally’s beautifully crafted yachts. The company’s world-renowned reputation has been a hard-earned consequence of their commitment to luxury, sailing performance, and efficiency throughout the design process.

A good yacht is one that not only needs to look good but also performs well. Sailing yachts are exceptionally performance-driven and, while this may limit some of the advanced luxury features that can be stored on board, are among the most thrilling modes of transportation to be found in the entire world.

The team behind Wally recognize that a yacht cannot possibly be considered successful unless it is able to meet all of her owners’ rigid expectations. In response, the design process begins by getting a thorough reading of what the owners are actively looking for. From there, these expert craftsmen begin creating a yacht that—for the lack of a better word—is absolutely perfect.

Upon watching Galateia cruise the open seas, navigating choppy waters and executing maneuvers with ease, it is clear that the team at Wally has taken great amounts of pride in their work. There are seemingly countless boats in the ocean, found all over the world. There is, however, only one sailing yacht that can call herself Wally’s proud masterpiece, Galateia.

Striving to Satisfy Owner Expectations

Fortunately for the team at Wally, the owners were very clear about what they were looking for in a yacht. “We wanted a yacht as an answer to a busy life: a simple place, without distractions, minimal furnishings, a sort of Zen temple to the sea and wind.” This commitment to minimal design is something that is somewhat rare in the world of shipbuilding, but if there is any company that is capable of doing it, it’s Wally.

The owners then went on to state, “We plan to use the boat as an escape from modern life, from urban life and from all the complications of excessive schedules.” As all good yachts ought to do, Galateia plays a key role as both the journey and the destination. Yearning to see all of the beauty in the world, the owners of Galateia plan on visiting Spain, Italy, Croatia, Greece, and various other breath-taking locations.

As a sailing yacht, the owners also wanted to make sure that Galateia would be in a position to compete. As you likely know, sailing yachts require additional building modifications—paying attention to things such as weight distribution, the sail plan, and the ability to quickly maneuver would all be especially important throughout the course of the design process. However, despite these minor challenges, it remained clear that the entire design team was ready for the task. With Reichel-Pugh Yacht Design leading the naval architecture, Alexia Leuschen in charge of the interior design, and Green Marine UK coordinating the building, this yacht has long been subject to incredibly high expectations.
