Overview

About This Vessel

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.

A coverage-weighted blend of the single component we could read for this hull; the weights renormalise over only the components present, so a thin read is never inflated and a hull is never credited a “safe 0” for a signal it has no row for. This headline is flagged low-confidence (a thin or structural-only read) and should not be treated as a verdict. Higher means riskier. Derived in-house from government-open port-State-control, flag, sanctions and our own vessel data; weight it by the coverage above.
