Galeon has just launched its new 560 Fly, an innovative flybridge cruiser with extensive side glazing and terraces that drop down from the salon sides so you can have a breakfast coffee or an evening cocktail overlooking the water.
Designed by Britain’s Tony Castro, the Galeon 560 Fly is a 32-knot cruiser with a lot of creative touches inside and out. Most notable: a port side terrace that drops down to extend the beam from 15’ 10” to 22’ 4”; it comes with two plug-in stools and a window opening to the aft galley. It’s also made of reinforced glass so you can stand on it and look down at the water below.
Aft, the Beach Mode expansion increases the width of the cockpit; you can serve refreshments on the port and starboard bars. All the way aft, the hydraulic swim platform can be used to hoist water toys or provide immediate access to the water for swimming.
Forward, the bow is heavily flared above the waterline to create more room for the VIP cabin below. The wide foredeck has room for a large bow lounge with twin sofas and a sun lounge.
The flybridge has two matching C-shaped lounges on the sides that can be joined in the middle to create a large dining area running across the full beam. The upper helm station is on the starboard side, while a bar and grill are a bit aft. The large overhang all the way aft has space for two free-standing sun lounges.
The folding bulwarks form a part of the long, continuous strip of glazing that runs almost the entire length of the hull, providing an unusual amount of light to the lower accommodations deck, with three cabins and two heads. (There’s also a two-person crew cabin aft, reached by a door in the transom, with its own head.)
The master stateroom is full-beam amidships, with a sofa and vanity/desk and its own head and shower. The VIP is forward, with more headroom and walking around space than usual because of the flared bow; it shares a head with the twin-berth guest cabin on the starboard side.
Power for the Galeon 560 Fly comes from twin 900-hp Volvo diesels with V-drives, producing a 32-knot top speed.
Galeons are made in Poland, and are sold in the U.S. by MarineMax.
