Galactica Star

Illusion is a superyacht built in 2013 at the Dutch Heesen Yachts shipyard. The interior design of Illusion was done by Bannenberg & Rowell Design, and the exterior work was done by Omega Architects. It was launched as the Galactica Star with an original sale price of €65 million. The yacht was seized in 2017 as part of the US government Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative from former Nigerian Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke. It was then sold at auction in 2019 to Burgess yachts representing an unknown buyer. It was then renamed the Illusion. The yacht is owned by shell company Paxford Ltd., and is operated by Burgess yachts, a yacht service provider, where it is available for charter.
