New Model: Galeon 430 Exp

Having become an innovative force Galeon pushes its innovation powers with the voluminous 430 Exp, the first model debuting the Polish builders new Explorer range.  Tug boat looking, this new 430 Exp, bring asymmetry and expand Galeon features to unseen dimensions as the bulkheads transforming to balconies measure over half to the boats length.  The asymmetric profile being wide body to port side, brings also a unique perspective transforming the saloon sofa to an outward looking settee once the bulk-head is dropped and becoming a terrace just above the water.  The 430 also features a rotated aft deck settee, with the other drop down balcony at starboard serving the galley, and a cosy fore deck forward looking settee.  Besides this feature we forget to notice that 430 Exp is a voluminous for its size, offering a beam of four and half meters, which becomes over six meters with both balconies open.  Saying this it is easy to understand that the volume of the flybridge is huge in both beam and length, also because the main deck structure and flybridge is moved more forward compared to similar sized cruiser, although it is not extended aft as usual.  Inside the main deck offers a large aft galley to starboard saloon to port side, further forward are opposite settee which transform to a mini dinette to port, and helm station to starboard.  This area apart being served by the full closed or open patio door aft, is also served by the two side doors, one by the settees/mini-dinette and the other by the helm station and both leading to the fore-deck.  Below is a forward master room, guest cabin with double berth to port side, a shower head to starboard, and an utility room which can be optioned as a second head.  The first Galeon 430 Exp is powered by twin Volvo 480hp with line shaft propulsion, with other choices being a single Volvo 480 or 550hp also in line shaft.  Top speed is twenty knots with the twin 480hp engines, Galeon estimating fourteen knots from the single 480 engine.
