The 37.5-metre ketch Galileo has joined the market with Marco Fodale of Fraser, who has described her as "a classic gentleman's yacht".
Built in aluminium by US-based shipyard Palmer Johnson to ABS class and a design by Sparkman & Stephens, the sailing yacht was delivered in 1989 with several refits and upgrades since - the most recent in 2021. This has presented her in "outstanding condition", according to the broker, with her hull, systems and mechanical machinery "meticulously maintained to the highest standards".
On deck, guests are welcomed by inviting relaxation areas, including a large cockpit with sofas aft of the pilothouse complete with a wet bar forward and a service area on either side with access to the side decks.
Inside, British designer John Munford created a classic interior style, featuring matte-varnished teak and a light-filled main saloon thanks to the large windows on either side. A formal dining area is forward to port with seating for up to eight guests in custom-made chairs that feature images of astronomer Galileo Galilei, the yacht's namesake. On the starboard side is a comfortable seating area grouped around a low table.
Accommodation on board is for seven guests across three staterooms, comprising a master suite aft, a VIP with an additional single bed to starboard, and a twin to port, all with en suite bathrooms. There are separate quarters for a crew of seven in the bow.
A single Volvo Penta D-16C-D MH engine gives the 189GT yacht for sale a range of 4,250 nautical miles at her cruising speed of 11 knots and a maximum speed of 13.5 knots, making her more than capable of long voyages.
Lying in Gocek, Turkey, Galileo is asking €3,950,000.
