New Model: Galeon 480 Fly

Galeon debuted its new 480 Fly at the Cannes boating festival. A replacement to the 460 Fly after six years of production, the Galeon 480 Fly comes again from the two decades guidance of naval architect Tony Castro.  As is with Galeon models since 2015 the 480 Fly primary objective is to expand the deck area and offer abundant natural light into the interior by incorporating generously oversized windows on both the main and lower decks. The flybridge comes equipped with two distinct seating areas, a wet bar and a fully equipped top steering station. The Galeon 480 Fly makes also extensive use of carbon technology, saving weight savings for more space up top and better handling due to a lower center of gravity. The beloved Beach Mode makes a triumphant return, charming with partially glazed balconies, effectively expanding the usable cockpit space when you decide to drop anchor. The aft seating will feature a stow-away grill option accessible from the hydraulic platform. The Galeon 480 Fly offers a main deck with an astern galley layout looking inside, while the lower deck is a three double cabins layout, with an owners stateroom at midships. The Galeon 480 Fly is powered from twin Volvo 440hp up to 600hp.  The first unit was actually powered by twin Volvo 600hp and line shafts, which give you thirty knots max and a 24 cruise.  It is not understood if IPS is available for the Galeon 480 Fly, while a US advertised unit is powered by large Volvo 670hp and the eleven meter blocks.  Competition is not fierce as it used to be in this size and flybridge type cruisers, with the 480 Fly closest rivals coming from the IPS only Absolute 47 Fly and the slightly larger Prestige F4.9.  Interestingly this triumvirate of choices is not really alike with the new Galeon 480 Fly being the only one with drop down balconies and midships owners room.

Project: Prestige F4.3

Prestige has during the Dusseldorf boat show surprise presented the new F4.3.  The Prestige F4.3 is based on the 420 and continues the dot point evolution of the F-line which debuted with the F4 now named F4.9 in 2023.  Design duties are again by all time Prestige designer Garroni with interiors by Valentina Militerno de Romedis.  The F4.3, like F4.9 and F5.7 looks at the width to not only add space but present it in a more home comfortable dynamic feature especially to what regards the main deck.  The distinct bold design feature of the F4.3 is what Prestige calls the OceanView galley which is not only astern, but takes the full beam of the interior main deck, with the entrance to this area offered from the two side doors rather then the usual aft door.  This is an interesting concept and one which has never been done before, which uses the hated or loved free space more efficiently but also gives an interesting three part ventilation. Other design improvements in the Prestige F4.3 are the flybridge which is also extended to the beam, while the stern bathing platform area is now also offered with a wet bar on waters edge.  Down below the Prestige F4.3 is the least changed to the 420 with this offering a two cabins layout with a choice of two heads, or one bathroom and a large walk-in wardrobe.  The Prestige F4.3 is to be powered by twin Volvo 440hp in V-drive line shaft for top speeds up to 31 knots and a cruise of 22.

New Model: Nimbus 495 Flybridge

Nimbus has launched its largest build to date with the new 495 Flybridge model.  Announced as a 465 Coupe project in 2022, the Nimbus 495 Flybridge is a flybridge cruiser with a modern explorer look to it, and some interesting unique innovative features which makes liveaboard easier and confortable.  The stand out feature of the 495 Flybridge is definitely the large side door to starboard located behind the helm station, which opens for over a meter in size.  This door coupled with the stern entry door fully open, and sunroof give a unique open feel to a flybridge boat of just over fourteen meters in length.  The Nimbus 495 Flybridge is also an asymmetric design with the starboard side deck being a bit wider to the starboard, beside offering the difference from the large side door.  The 495 Flybridge also features a drop down window serving and closing the aft deck from cold or wind, and coupled with side cover will fully enclose the area in cold climates.  Accommodation in the Nimbus 495 Flybridge offers three double cabins, including of which is a full beam owners stateroom, a guest cabin forward, and third cabin with two bunk berths to starboard.  This third cabin can be replaced by an office, or a single berth utility room option.  The Nimbus 495 Flybridge is powered by twin Volvo 480hp with IPS pod drives for top speeds up to 27 knots and a cruise of 24.  Nimbus says the 495 Flybridge is also hybrid ready for the upcoming new Volvo option to come in the future, with options for both a Parallel and same propulsion set up with similar speeds, and or a slower long range Serial option this giving displacement up to fourteen knots max.

New Model: Sessa F48

Sessa presents the new F48 a further evolution of the Fly47, a hull which was actually born as the 45 Fly in 2011. A model which has its roots to a design by Christian Grande the new Sessa F48 is further enhanced to aft and for its external spaces while maintaining the comfort and privacy of the original design.  This increase in length of 66 centimeters has benefitted the F48 with the following upgrades; more aft cockpit deck space which now features seven square meters of space making the largest in its size, larger bathing platform with galley, and standard twin Volo 550hp engines power with IPS pods drives which give speeds up to 35 knots. Standard power for the Fly 47 was twin Volvo 480hp. For the remaining the Sessa F48 keeps the virtues which has made this model quite a popular choice in its previous two versions, with a three double cabins accommodation plan, and a choice of a central or aft galley layout on the main deck.

Galeon continue to renew its thirteen to seventeen meter range, and after debuting the 560 and 440 Fly models in 2023, comes with the project for a new 480 Fly.  The latest Galeon models are recognizable by the endless glazing on the hull sides, and comes as a replacement to the 2016 launched 460 Fly.  Designed as most Galeon's of the last twenty or so years by Tony Castro, the 480 Fly features the Polish builders deck expansion flip over bulk-head tricks, port-side as standard with the starboard being an option, with an astern galley main deck layout, and three double cabins lower deck, with a full beam midships owners stateroom.  The Galeon 480 Fly is powered by twin Volvo 440hp which go up to optional 600hp engines.  It is not understood if IPS will be an option, but the first unit which is under going final construction phase is powered by shaft drives.  The Galeon 480 Fly is scheduled to debut in mid 2024.

New Model: Prestige F4

Prestige has launched in the midst of Summer 2023 its new F4 model, a flybridge cruiser just under fourteen meters in length, with an important beam to size ratio.  Prestige F for flybridge bread and butter range has in recent times seen little novelty, with its last new model the F690 coming in 2021.  Looking at the details the Prestige F4 seems based on the 2017 launched F520, identical beam but also a similar layout, with a one meter shorter length. It will be interesting what the F4 will replace in the Prestige range, so far both the 460 and 520 are present in the website, but I do think that in the long run this replaces the 520 so expect a new F5 model in 2024 which goes in the fifteen to sixteen meter size and a similar styling to this new model. Many reviewers are giving the Prestige F4 top marks and calling her a segment re-inventor for its spaces and important beam to length ratio, which re-imagines the space inside by the width. Probably Prestige here has got a couple of lessons while developing its power catamaran range in the last two years, but I also think that it looked at the Absolute 470 which has an identical beam and a similar layout below with owners suite forward.  Still thanks to the important beam the Prestige F4 offers probably a best in class main deck layout here offering a spacious L-shaped dinette and galley on the main deck.  Down below the Prestige F4 offers a three double cabins layout, with an owners cabin forward which is in a mid high level area giving similar space to that of a midships level stateroom.  Also thanks to the beam the two guest cabins at midships offer more space then usual with the starboard cabin being particularly spacious, and offered with moving berths which become a double.  The F4 can also be fitted with an optional crew cabin aft.  Other details in the Prestige F4 are the near bulkhead free flybridge, protected by stainless steel railing, and the option to have a vertical seating on the aft deck for an open view aft, in lieu of the standard L-shaped lounger.  The Prestige F4 is powered by twin Volvo 480hp with IPS pod drives for top speeds up to 28 knots and a cruise of 22.

Project: Galeon 440 Fly

Galeon present the project for a new 440 Fly, featuring a sleek exterior which marks another collaboration from the Polish boat builder with British designer Tony Castro Design, who sets out a recognizable line it following the trends set by the fourth generation Galeon yachts. A unique combination of a dynamic silhouette with sporty accents throughout is complimented by the large windows on both decks that liven up the interior. A clear focus was placed upon practicality and versatility and easy access of the exteriors, with the top deck featuring a helm station with a settee to port side for a companion, and the main rest area moved back. The L-shaped sofa wraps around the elongated table and will seat six in comfort, while a wet bar will hold refreshments and help to keep things tidy. The main deck holds two separate leisure areas with the bow easily accessible by the starboard sliding doors next to the helm. Guests can choose to prop-up the foldable bimini and front facing seat for extra protection from the elements. The cockpit allows for boarding from all sides thanks to the full-sized hydraulic stern platform and Beach Mode with semi-glazed panels. Drop down bulwarks to both sides extend the usable space during mooring, with the bathing platform functions as a lift for all your water toys and allows easy access to the stern-facing grill area. Inside, a classic layout can be found with the rest area moved back, divided from the cockpit only by the sliding glass doors. Galley and helm station are moved forward with two or three cabins located on the lower deck. The two cabin option will accommodate four guests in style, as both the mid-ship master and the forward VIP offer significant volume and storage space. For larger parties a choice between two different, three cabin layouts is available with bunk beds or twin cabin setups. Both bathrooms down below are fitted with a head and shower with standing height.  The Galeon 440 Fly is to be powered by twin Volvo 480hp with possibly a propulsion option of shafts and or IPS pod drives.

New Model: Absolute 47 Fly

Absolute new 47 Fly represents the getaway for the Italian brand, who since its inception in 2003 have seen its client and fan base featuring an interesting growth.  During the initial years of the brand the smallest model was the 25, and now today it is the 47, which is even larger then the flagship model of the beginnings which was the 45.  This new 47 Fly replaces the 45 and although part of the Flybridge range from Absolute is an interesting cross model, as it takes in looks and ideas a few features from the Navetta range.  The three double cabins two bathrooms lower deck layout for example is similar to that of the Navetta 48, with the cross-layout of the owners stateroom forward having a lot of similarities, with the extra beam and length of the later offering that bit of extra space.  The 48 Navetta here features a difference having the choice of a crew cabin aft.  The 47 Fly as all recent Absolute features an astern galley layout, while the flybridge looks to be one of the largest in its size.  The Absolute 47 Fly looks bigger then it is thanks to a lot of vertical use of space.  The Absolute 47 Fly is powered by Volvo's new 480hp with twin IPS pod drives propulsion.

New Model: Greenline 45 Fly

Greenline will expand their range of eco-conscious motor yachts at the 2019 Cannes boat show with the introduction of the new 45 Fly. This all-new model is already proving a sales hit with 25 confirmed orders and production capacity doubling to two units per month. Delivery time is now early summer 2020.  Greenline 45 Fly is unique in its sector, both in terms of its impressive variety of propulsion options and the choice between three lower deck layout, which offer from two extremely luxurious ensuite cabins with walk-in wardrobes or a three-cabin variant with two spacious bathrooms.  Thanks to the fourth generation of Greenline’s game-changing diesel/electric/hybrid technology no boat of this size offers the quiet, emission-free sustainable boating experience that the 45 Fly does. The combination of solar panels, an in-line electric motor and inverter-charger mean that 230V AC is available at all times without the need to resort to a noisy generator.  A significant added benefit is totally silent, emission-free cruising for up to thirty nautical miles at five knots, perfect for inland navigation or approaching anchorages. The Greenline 45 Fly is equipped with domestic-standard appliances including a full-size fridge/freezer, induction hob, oven and AC sockets so there is no need to use adapters. Every Greenline model has AC power as standard and the technology works constantly to maintain a stable feed of domestic energy without needing to resort to shore power or a generator.  Volvo Penta and Yanmar engines are available and, as standard, the boat is fitted with a pair of 220hp shaft drive diesel engines but up to twin 370hp motors are available for a top speed of 25 knots. For those craving higher performance and the ease of joystick control, Volvo twin 380hp and or 440hp are available with IPS pod drives propulsion, the latter capable of 30 knots. The shaft drive and IPS hulls are built specifically for their drive-train ensuring optimum performance whichever propulsion choice is selected.  Renowned architects JandJ Design are responsible for the exterior styling and naval architecture. Though Greenline 45 Fly may have a sporty profile and beautiful lines, it is a practical and spacious cruising yacht, ideal for extended stays on the water with family and friends. Between the sheltered cockpit, comfortable fore-deck with its collapsible canopy for shade and deep, well-proportioned flybridge, guests will always be able to find their perfect corner to relax in. Options such as the transom galley with BBQ grill and sink, and the hi-lo bathing platform are practical additions, which also offer an invaluable connection to the water. Here there is also dedicated storage for water toys with the option of a hydraulic hatch to make access as easy as possible.  On board, a new partnership with lauded Italian superyacht designer Marco Casali of Too Design lends a stylish, sophisticated air to the interior filled with natural light thanks to the liberal use of glass in the superstructure.  Greenline Yachts signature aft-galley configuration links seamlessly with the cockpit and puts the cook in the heart of the action whether they’re serving outdoor areas or the expansive internal dinette.  The 45 Fly is brimming with outstanding features but the amidships master suite is the ace up its sleeve. Fitted with a king-size island bed and flooded with natural light by its large hull windows, this cabin feels as if it has come from the class above. The ensuite is big enough to incorporate a separate shower cubicle but it’s the walk-in dressing room that really sets it apart from the competition. Fitted with hanging storage, drawers, bright spotlights and a dressing table, this is a slice of luxury unheard of on a craft this size.  Incredibly, in the standard layout configuration guests in the forward VIP cabin have a similarly extravagant walk-in dressing area of their own, providing unrivalled levels of comfort for all on board.  The forward VIP has over two meters of headroom and bathes in natural light thanks to eye-level windows that align with cut-outs in the forward bulwarks for stunning views across the water. Classy round portholes at bed-level offer ventilation without the need to turn on the air-conditioning.  Alternative deck layouts sacrifice the main cabins walk-in dressing rooms in order to make space for either a small double bed or pair of bunk beds and a sizeable wardrobe; three such generous cabins are a rarity on a boat of just fourteen meters. Though up to six people can comfortably sleep aboard the 45 Fly, its safe, protected side decks and the door at the lower helm plus a bulwark gate mean it is very easy to handle as a couple or even single-handed if required.

New Model: Prestige 420 Flybridge

Prestige present its second generation 420 Flybridge model.  The new Prestige 420 features some important changes outside with a different line; fuller bow and larger hull side windows.  But the changes do not stop and also go technical, as it sees this mid size motor cruiser returning to traditional line shaft propulsion, from the previous Volvo IPS pod drive set up.  The Prestige 420 Flybridge features a two cabin layout two head layout, with the main deck presenting an astern galley layout. A single head version is also available replacing the second head with an utility room featuring a washing machine, while various wood choices are available for the interior fittings from Moabi, to Grey Oak, or Wenge.  The flybridge features a stair case to port side with an L-shaped dinette, sun-lounger and wet-bar to starboard, and helm station to port side.  An optional hard-top is available though personally I see it taking away not little from the lines of the 420.  Power for the Prestige 420 will come from twin reliable Cummins 6.7 liter block in 380hp and or optional 420hp engines.  As usual to Prestige an S version with hard top for Coupe lovers is also being produced, watch this spot to have more information on this new model.

New Model: Haines 320 Aft Cabin

When the very first Haines 320 originally hit the water in 2004 it captured the imagination of both the boating media and the boat buying public, winning awards and receiving glowing reviews. With everyone who either tested the boat or owned one for themselves, all equally impressed by the amount of accommodation delivered in a boat of just ten meters in size.  After years of selling in large numbers, this popular model has at last got its deserved full restyling. With a complete overhaul of the boat's overall look, further improvements to the boats accommodation and layout, plus more consideration given to the practical issues of boarding and alighting.  Winning a prestigious Motor Boat of the Year award, the original 320 also received a 9/10 review from the Motor Boat Monthly magazine. The new Haines 320 Aft Cabin now sees even more accommodation, with the first example recently launched featuring sleeping accommodation for six, two dedicated double cabins, two separate toilet/shower compartments, two helm positions and two generous seating areas in the saloon and on the upper deck.
