The Polish manufacturer Galeon, leader in Northern Europe, launches 2 new models to complete its range of launches from 30 to 80 feet: The Galeon 500 Fly and the 510 Skydeck. These two boats feature several truly innovative tricks.
Designed on the same new hull, these two 14.40 m boats offer a living space spread over 3 decks (flybridge, main deck and lower deck), a characteristic of all 3 e generation. Very innovative, the 510 Skydeck has a flybridge which, like a hard-top, can be closed by an automatic soft top, when no one is underneath. On the one hand, with the roof closed, the 510 Skydeck is more sporty and stylish and on the other hand, it also means that you don't have to tidy up or hide the installations and keep the deck clean and in perfect condition.
The rear part of both models is identical. The rear cockpit can be configured in 3 ways, depending on the owner's wishes. Either a large tender garage with a deck above, or a more classic configuration with an L-shaped settee and a full crew cabin with a separate bathroom and storage space instead of the garage, or a rotating bench seat with a compact garage and an integrated grill. The latter option is an interesting innovation with the entire bench seat that rotates 360°. You can turn it towards the back, enjoying a superb view of the sea (and not of the saloon as proposed by the traditional back benches).
The Galeon 500 Fly and 510 Sundeck are new, with their wings folded out to the sides to create a huge rear deck. On each side, the gunwales lower to widen the deck area of the aft cockpit from 4.45 m wide to 5.80 m. At the very rear, a large hydraulic bathing platform provides easy access to the sea.
For the interior, large glass surfaces on the main deck in the saloon and in the cabins bring light and sea views inside the boat. On the main deck, the sliding glass doors reveal a lounge on the same level as the cockpit. On the port side of the galley, the windows also open and the space becomes an outdoor bar with two stools. Behind the galley is a large dining area with a U-shaped bench and table on the port side. On the starboard side is the cockpit with a clear view forward and a driver's seat that turns 90° to create an even larger dining area with two additional seats.
On the lower level, there are three cabins and two bathrooms, for a total of 6 passengers. The guest cabin is located at the bow of the boat and benefits from a light well above the bed. On the starboard side, there is a cabin with bunk beds, which can be transformed into an office, dressing room or leisure area, and the owner's cabin is located amidships and includes a dressing room and a private bathroom. Each cabin has standing room and a view to the outside.
The foredeck also features a first for a yacht of this size. A quick and automated system allows to transform the sundeck into a lounge area (3 benches) with table, which is automatically positioned at the right height. A single click and the sundeck retracts to make room for a table and benches: magic! As an option, a bimini can protect the area from the sun.
On the large, more traditional flybridge deck, there is a lounge area with an L-shaped bench seat and table, a minibar with sink, a second helm station and two passenger seats, one opposite the other on the starboard side. In front of the helm station, a sunbathing area completes the set.
As for the engines (2 x 700 hp), both boats are available with Volvo IPS bases or with shaft line.
