New Model: Galeon 305 HTS

The Galeon 300 series grows into a more complete range, and now the Strazyn builder presents the new 305 HTS version model. The HTS initials stand for hard top sport, and this latest Galeon third generation showcases an aggressive exterior coupled with the accommodation of a cruiser once entering inside. Below the 305 HTS is full of surprises and offers a two plus two layout plan; double Vee berth forward, and a separate cabins at midships.  In between the cabins is a galley to port side, and a shower head to starboard. But one of the most interesting features of the 305 HTS is also its main deck layout, this offering an aft sun-pad, L-shaped layout, double helmsman chair, relaxing settee to port side, and a well sized wet-bar.

Project: Galeon 305 HTS

Polish builder Galeon is very fast to capitulate on a new platform and just after the launch of the 300 Fly, presents a project for a hard top sports cruiser based on the same hull the 305 HTS. Unlike some other Fly and HTS transformations from Galeon though, the new 305 HTS is not just a hard top model without a flybridge, as here the Polish builder redesigns the cockpit into a full open space area with a sun-pad, C-shaped dinette, and wet bar. Below is also changes with the forward double berth replaced by a C-shape settee. Interestingly another big news in the 305 HTS is the signature of design entrusted to Italian architect Roberto Curto, who has been collaborating on Galeon sister small models brand Galia. Curto also designed the 300 Fly.

New Model: Galeon 300 Fly

Galeon continues to present fresh new models in all sizes, and the 300 Fly is an answer to clients who want a compact yet comfortable flybridge cruiser. It is in short words an entry level Galeon, a segment which unlike other builders the Polish builder has always been very keen on. The 300 Fly replaces the 290 as Galeon's smallest and visiting model to its always expanding range, which will soon have an 82 footer as a flagship. Sleeping four berths below, plus an extra two in the convertible dinette the 300 Fly is an interesting compact flybridge cruiser. In this model as shown in its bigger units, Galeon also shows its innovative flare in the design see view windows on top and lower deck, and also in other technical solutions as the sliding cockpit settee expanding space, and an optional extended bathing platform for tender stowage aft. The finishing of the 300 Fly is also a representation of its bigger models, with hull one being finished in nice walnut wood, and a white leather mix.  Power options available start from a single 225hp up to twin 260 Volvo diesel engines. Propulsion is stern drive dual propeller Volvo.

New Model: Galeon 660 Fly

In recent years Galeon has been growing from strong to stronger, thanks to an incredible line up of models and a very attentive product update, the Strazyn builder has quickly captured an always growing audience. While Galeon had a few important models in its recent history one of its most relevant was the 640 Fly launched in 2007 and designed by British Tony Castro. This was the model which made an important statement where Galeon wants to go, to its clients and motor yacht fans alike. Now after some years and few improvements, the 640 gets updated to the 660 Fly. A new model in many terms but one which still has its basics coming from the 640 and its success, the 660 Fly is in Galeon words a third generation update of the model it replaces. While the model retains a lot of the important elements, the 660 gets refreshed in the windows department both on main and lower deck, the stern, and a large bathing platform able to carry 700 kilograms of weight. Inside the 660 Fly retains the popular four cabins layout this having a full beam amidships owners stateroom, VIP to fore, twin guest cabin to starboard, and fourth room with bunks berths. To aft is a crew cabin with one berth.

Improve-it = Galeon 445 HTS

Launched in 2013 the Galeon 445 HTS is one of the latest models to be presented in what the Strazyn builder likes to refer its third generation series of models. Now Galeon as it does in all its models shows variety in the finishing, and recently launched a 445 HTS completed in a dark walnut wood interior, complimented with Alcantara walling and leather upholstery. This latest wood interior is an addition to the first hull which was finished in oak. As is standard from Galeon these choices are made by the owners during the order of there boats, and many times the Polish builder shows us its custom finish skills.

Project: Galeon 300 Fly

It's a common occurrence in boat building that once a marque develops and founds success in the larger sizes, it spread its wings further and forgets about its smaller models. Seems Polish builder Galeon does not share this idea, and this new 300 Fly project is testimony to its beliefs in building a complete line of innovative craft. The 300 Fly follows previous latest models in what the Strazyn brand refers to its third generation series, and will also be completely new meaning not based on the 290 it will replace. The 300 Fly now to be its new entry level model is a compact flybridge motor cruiser with a two separate cabins lower decks and a shower head plan; master cabin to fore, and guest double amidships. The main deck offers a living area this having a C-shaped settee to port side, galley opposite, and a helm station. The flybridge presents itself with a center pilot seat and a sun pad to aft. Engines options have not been announced but Galeon says the 300 Fly can be powered by engines up to twin 225hp.

Improve-it = Galeon 550 Fly

It comes to no surprise from Galeon to finish the yachts as customers desire.  It does so with its smaller entry brand models as the 325, so on the 550 Fly this surely come out as standard procedure. In the 2013 fall Galeon delivered a 550 Fly finished in high gloss polisander, giving the owner a unique interior especially compared to recent trends.  This is the third wood finish choice for the three double cabin flybridge motor yacht 550 Fly model, the other two being dark walnut, and wenge wood.  The polisander wood finish of this 550 Fly gives a more classic and luxurious interior feel compared to the currently more popular and modern wenge and dark walnut choices.

Project: Galeon 560 Skydeck

Based on the 550 Fly, Galeon and designer Tony Castro present the project of the 560 Skydeck, a sports flybridge motor yacht aimed to hybrid two styles of users in one.  Galeon already did a similar experiment with its 420 series presenting the 430 Skydeck, and after good input from the customers offers the same concept on its much admired 550 series.  The 560 Skydeck is in fact an identical yacht in the interior layout of the 550 bar its flybridge and its window shapes here looking more aggressive.   The flybridge of the 560 Skydeck is indeed of a more sports nature and here Galeon offers a layout from a sports boat with a central helm with two side guest settees and large sun-pad to aft.  The flybridge is also moved more backwards for the reason that the 560 Skydeck has a part, the one above the interior helm which is an opening tinted glass hard-top. The aft of the 560 is also different offering a large sunpad with a moveable back rest which transform this settee in various needed uses, from looking forward for dining or aft to chill by the water. For the remaining the 560 Skydeck offers what made the 550 a very impressive yacht; three large cabins below, large double two single beds crew quarters aft, and one of the best astern galley in the category.

Project: Galeon 820 Skydeck

Polish builder Galeon manages to cross over the eighty feet barrier with its latest third generation line project, the 820 Skydeck.  This is for sure Galeon's and its stable British architect Tony Castro most important project to date which continues the Strazyn company direction into larger sizes.  The Galeon 820 bases itself on the hull shape of the 780 Crystal, but above the waterline we see a reinvented model with a sports profile and featuring the invisible flybridge up top, or as Galeon likes to call it Skydeck.  Rest assured though that underwater shape is the only similarity with the current Galeon flagship, as the 820 Skydeck offers a completely new looks and layout.  Some striking details in the layout are the large aft cockpit deck which uses about 25% of the length, a separate galley with independent staircase located to port side, and three large cabins lower deck plan.  A nice detail in all the cabins is the feature of a beauty chair desk in all rooms, not only in the master stateroom as it is usually found in most yachts this size.  A single crew cabin is located to aft. The 820 Skydeck is to be powered by engine power from twin 1500 up to 1900hp, with hull number one apparently being ordered with two MAN 1800.

New Model: Galeon 445 HTS

Galeon continues to renew and presenting new models which follows what the Polish builder likes to call its third generation line.  The 445 HTS is Galeon's latest third generation addition what is hard top sport cruiser with a patio door dividing the main deck from the exterior sun bathing areas aft, to the more relaxed lounging sofas inside.  With this new model Tony Castro followed design stints as outside as shown first with the 325, and later on with the 385 models.  Inside Galeon and the British designer present a two large double cabins lower deck with a full beam owners amidships suite, VIP cabin to fore, and an L-shaped galley with opposite dining C-shaped saloon in between the two rooms.  The main deck offers a C-shaped settee to portside, with a helmsman to starboard followed by an entertainment cabinet. Outside is a sun pad under which is a tender garage, and an L-shaped settee.  Different options should be available to the interior, as I know for example that a three cabin plan is on the works.  Engines are twin options starting from 400 up to 558hp engines with pod drives or stern drive propulsion.

New Model: Galeon 430 Skydeck

With its 420/430 series Galeon was clever to offer a three different combination model using one hull.  The 430 Skydeck is the latest of this series and stands in the middle of the offer between the 420 Fly and 430 HTC, presenting a flybridge with a sports attitude.  A trend very common in seventy plus feet yachts but less so under this size, and I think the first time that this concept is introduced in a twelve meter cruiser.  The flybridge of the 430 Skydeck also follows its sports form offering an interesting central helm, with seats which can become two sun pads or co-driver thanks to its moving back pad.  Below the 430 Skydeck as its other sisters offers a three double cabins layout, with a galley and living located on the main deck.  Power is seven engine choices from Volvo, Cummins, and Volkswagen starting at 260 and up to 400hp with stern drive, line shaft, and IPS pod propulsion options.

Improve-it = Galeon 390 HTC

Galeon 390 HTC was launched earlier this year 2013 and the Polish builder was fast to provide an alternative layout version to this model now offering a new two cabins plan.  In this two cabin version a lot of things change in the layout from the galley which moves down, to a saloon which is now totally reserved for relaxing.  The galley takes the place of the third cabin located to port side midships just by the three steps staircase.  The Galeon 390 HTC is a hard top fully enclosed sport cruiser and was based on the 380 Fly, and is powered by six engine choices from 220 up to 435hp with line shaft or stern drive propulsion.

Improve-it = Galeon 550 Fly

For those following Galeon it will come to no surprise that the renowned Polish builder presents a new wood trim option for its models, this time it is the turn for one of the 2012 novelties the 550 Fly.  Galeon this time around presents an ultra modern Wenge wood interior for the 550 Fly which was added with light colored leather mixed and brown bamboo inserts.  This option makes an interesting diversity to the dark walnut finish as shown in hull number one. Standing in the middle of its fleet which starts at 29 and ends with a 78 flagship the Tony Castro designed 550 Fly has seen itself as one of the most sought third generation Galeon for some important reasons.  First of all is the three double cabins lower deck with full beam owner room, second is the very nice main deck with its astern galley featuring a serious dining area to fore, and last is the full opening patio door which joins exterior with interior.  Power options for the Galeon 550 Fly start from Volvo 600 up to 900hp engines, with the smallest choice available only with IPS pod drives and the rest with shafts.

New Model: Galeon 390 HTC

As it has been tradition for Galeon, the known Polish production builder went to Dusseldorf with a new model, and fittingly this year it was the turn of the 390 HTC which is coincidentally based on the 380 Fly also presented in the same place a year before.  Again a design to Tony Castro the 390 HTC has a completely new upper structure design with the window design which enhance more aggressive elements a sport cruiser should have.   Another nice feature of the 390 HTC is the five in one use of the aft settee on the cockpit deck; which can be sports, dining, lounge, chaise, or a sun pad.  For the its interior plan the 390 HTC features the acclaimed three double cabin layout of the Fly sister.  The penalty in this is the small open third cabin to port side, but this is still a bonus considering the two well sized owners room to fore and guest to starboard.  Galeon as has been tradition offers a wide range of engine options to the 390 HTC which start from twin Volvo 220 and go up to 435hp units.  Propulsion is line shafts or stern drives.

Improve-it = Galeon 380 Fly

Like all Galeon yachts and cruisers the 380 Fly presented in the early part of 2012 at German Dusseldorf show comes in many different wood choices for its interior.  Hull number one was in fact finished in Walnut, and now Galeon just delivered a new more modern Wenge wood version.  As other Galeon bigger and smaller yachts, the 380 Fly is also available with; cheery, mahogany, and oak wood choices.  This semi custom choice differentiates Galeon from many other production builders and give the owners a taste of his personality when choosing his boat.  These customizations are also available from the entry model 290 upwards.  Showing these new additions the 380 Fly continues to be a unique model in this size format thanks to its three cabins layout; a choice of more efficient to run stern drive or less maintenance shaft line propulsion, and Volvo engines from 220 till 380hp option.

Improve-it = Galeon 780 Crystal

 

Galeon shows how it can push the limits of customization not only in the smaller models of its range, available in half a dozen of versions outside and inside, but most important in its flagship the 2011 launched 780 Crystal.  Galeon has completed a unique 780 Crystal; hull number two, with a three person 4.45 meters tender called Baby Crystal specially custom build and designed for its flagship.  Baby Crystal looks very much a Galeon outside and is also luxuriously outfitted in the same way as the flagship.   The 780 Crystal in question was also specially reinforced to accommodate this seven hundred kilograms unique tender. Baby Crystal is fitted with 160hp jet engine, which gives a top speed of 38 knots.

Project: Galeon 445 HTS

Since the third generation has started for Galeon, the Polish boat builder has raised the bar impressively especially for the exterior looks of its models at unheard pace.  The new 445 HTS project which again comes from the hands and brains of long collaboration British designer Tony Castro further enhances the Galeon style.  A sport cruiser with a length of over thirteen meters the new 445 project joins the family of this series from Galeon featuring the very well received 325 and 385 models.  With this new model Galeon aims to consolidate more its market into open sport cruisers.  Option is a word in the Galeon DNA, and the 445 will bring loads of them; from a big sun lounger with big tender garage under neath to this being half the size and giving more space to the settee in the cockpit.  There will also be choice for an up and down bathing platform, if you want may be to carry more then one tender.  Another choice will also be drop down windows in the main deck which close two-thirds of the main deck. Interior skylight and big windows will be a dominant feature, with a plan offering three double cabins served by two heads, saloon, and a galley.  Power will be stern drive or pod drive propulsion choices with engines starting at 400 up to 558hp.

New Model: Galeon 550 Fly

 

It's been just over a year since Galeon launched a fifty feet plus motor yacht model, which was its new 780 Crystal flagship, but the Polish builder has since then presented so much under 43 feet models that this period looked about double to that in my mind.  The new 550 Fly comes from hands of since 2004 Galeon collaborator and World class British designer Tony Castro, and show the dynamism of the Polish builder to offer a top quality motor yacht which impresses and creates leadership in areas of its layout.  If you want one of the most spacious astern galleys, and among the largest full beam midships owners stateroom the 550 Fly definitely is awaiting your inspection.  The owners room is to admire for the central position of the queen size bed which looks in the better position to aft, beauty desk, and the chaise lounge. Other impressive feature of the 550 Fly is also the third guest cabin which features two single berths, but one is of a french bed size, and the twin crew cabin with dedicated shower head to aft which features nothing less to the usual guest cabin.  So if you really want the 550 Fly can be regarded as a four cabin motor yacht.  The exterior spaces of the 550 Fly have also to be mentioned; with an nice aft deck featuring an L-shaped settee, and the flybridge with C-shape dinette, wet bar, sun pad, and port side helm station.  Standard power is twin Cummins 710hp, and Volvo 600 IPS or 900hp with line shaft propulsion available as options.

New Model: Galeon 430 HTC

 

After a journey which showed PowerYacht displaying again the Inbuild process of a Galeon, we can say the 430 HTC is ready for its important Cannes boat show debut.  Based on the hull and interior layout of the 420 Fly, the 430 HTC diversifies itself for its two opening sunroofs; aft and inside, and the modular settee at the cockpit.  The modular aft deck is a very interesting piece of engineering which can be a dinette, two side beds, or one big central sunpad.  With the 430 HTC the Galeon design team also presented new side window profiles which differ from those of the 420 Fly and are a bit bigger in size suiting better to the more sport nature of this model. Inside the superb layout of the 420 Fly with three double cabins below with owners room to fore and two guest to midships is repeated.  The living of the 430 HTC is on the main with a split level area have a saloon settee with entertainment opposite and the raised area featuring a port side located C-shaped galley with helm station on the other side.  Galeon is known for offering various wood options in its model, but hull one of the 430 HTC has been fitted in modern Wenge wood, which fits very well with the dark aggressive color of the exterior hull. As with all its models Galeon offers a lot of engine choices, eight is the number here, and starts from twin Volvo 260 and go up to 435hp.
