As we reported recently here the Galeon 500 Fly has now been launched and will bring a series of innovations to the Galeon range. Based on a new hull, the 500 Fly will offer an amazing amount of interior space on all three decks. With broad windows all around, owners and guests will enjoy a bright and welcoming atmosphere on the main deck as well as down below.
Highly customisable, with three distinct aft configurations to choose from, the 500 Fly offers flexibility when it comes to cockpit arrangements. Galeon says that owners can choose between a full-sized garage with a sundeck above, a classic L-shaped sofa and crew cabin setup or the innovative rotating-seat option that also includes a compact garage. Whichever one you prefer, you can still take full advantage of the unique beach mode, that extends the width of the cockpit to a stunning 5.8 metres by dropping down both the port and starboard sides.
The bow area comes with a transformable seating arrangement which Galeon says is a first for a yacht in this size segment. A swift, automated system will quickly alter the sundeck configuration into a comfortable seating area and automatically level it to a comfortable position. An optional, soft-top bimini is also available for extra protection.
Up top, the flybridge can be fitted with a wet bar, sundecks and a second helm station for easier manoeuvring.
On the main deck, the glass doors lead to a saloon closely linked to the cockpit area thanks to a flush floor and sliding side windows. The saloon is fitted with lounge and dining areas as well as a functional helm station with great views.
Down below, three cabins and two bathrooms await the passengers for a total of six berths. The master cabin, located amidships offers a double bed, a walk-in wardrobe and a private bathroom. Two more guests will enjoy the bow VIP cabin with spectacular views. The guest cabin also sleeps two and can be turned into a study, wardrobe or an additional leisure area.
Both IPS and shaft drive options will be available along with a choice of engines and high-tech electronic and navigational equipment.
510 Skydeck
The Galeon 510 is set to debut this year along the 500 Fly and extend the range of Skydeck models, which are acclaimed for their design and innovative features. Sharing the new hull with the 500 Fly, the Skydeck will offer an amazing amount of interior space on all decks.
What sets the Skydeck models apart from other yachts is their ability to combine the advantages of having a top deck with the distinct, sporty look of a hardtop. The Galeon 510 will also feature a full-sized sunroof over the helm and an automatic soft bimini to cover the deck when necessary.
