Sail around the world……

Lady Galathea has been to more places than most mega yacht owners have taken their vessel.

The beauty of this Mini Mega yacht is that she is easily handled by 2 people.

Solid Dutch built and Vripack engineered with only the highest quality fixtures and fittings "Lady Galathea" has just been repainted and the original owner has reluctantly decided to embark on another project.

She has cruised to the Black Sea, Turkey, Sweden, Croatia, Romania, United States and the Caribbean, over 20 countries.

The main features that appeal to the LRC buyers are the robust exterior styling with storage everywhere.

Dual Anchor System
Bollard Cleats … Huge lazarette and walk-in engine room with accessibility to all piping and wiring which is all marked and uniformly placed in the cable trays.
Sewer Treatment Plant.
A proper furnace for those Arctic and Alaskan winter cruises, protected rudders and propellers. Serious stability with Koop Nautic stabilizers.
The simplicity but comfort of the teak interior.
Redundant electronics and there is much much more to discover…………..
