To design and build of a luxury yacht is a truly personal experience. They may be designed to emphasize comfort, speed, or expedition capability. In this case we have the Galleon gigayacht concept by Yacht designer Steve Kozloff which is so big, its several times bigger and more impressive, it is a 160 meter, 8 deck gigayacht with the ability to be a sailing cruise ship for up to 200 guests.
The Galleon is powered by 5 10,000 hp diesel-electric engines, and is equiped with four DynaRigs with a total sail area of 9,775 square meters with a cruising speed of 10 knots.
The Galleon has four full-beam garages designed for 6 luxury speed boat tenders, 4 U-Boat submarines, 6 rib tenders both port and starboard, and 21 personal watercrafts.The Galleon includes twelve free-fall lifeboats for crew and guests that will accommodate up to 30 people each.

The sprawling interior of the boat is fully customizable, and Kozloff says it can be fitted with cafés, bars, restaurants or even a park.As far as safety is concerned the Galleon includes twelve free-fall lifeboats for crew and guests that will accommodate up to 30 people each.
For many years superyacht brands and shipyards have been developing concept stories and propositions to try and entice clients to commission ‘new’ yacht to builds
There are no limits to a superyacht designer’s imagination.What’s more, they explore much larger concepts of the use of space, and how owners and guests actually use the superyachts.
