Polish Builder Redefines Outdoor Living With Innovative Hull-Side Terraces And Expansive Flybridge
Walking the Miami boat show docks, a couple stepping off the Galeon 620 Fly captured the essence of this remarkable vessel perfectly. “It’s like a floating beach house,” the woman said. “And it makes our home feel like a shed,” the man responded. Looking at the boat’s wrap-around dropdown terraces and expansive outdoor entertaining areas, the sentiment made complete sense. The Galeon 620 Fly is a three-stateroom cruiser with an additional aft crew cabin, each with its own head, but it’s far more than a traditional motor yacht. It’s a full-on transformer with a master-cabin terrace that’s truly jaw-dropping.
Galeon’s innovative design philosophy centers on blurring the lines between interior and exterior spaces. The boat features both beach mode and terrace mode that, when fully deployed, increases the beam to 23 feet, creating what can only be equated to a summer cottage with a full wraparound deck. Galeon placed nonskid on the glass areas of the portside terrace, which doubles as a window when retracted and flush against the hull. A terrace on the starboard side makes a perfect spot to tie up a tender so it’s out of the way from swimmers playing on the hydraulic swim platform that transforms the aft deck into a waterside lounge. The salon doors open to flow seamlessly into a spacious cockpit with room for a large outdoor dining table seating eight. When in beach-mode, a balcony adjacent to the galley opens up complete with stools, creating an open bar area perfect for breakfast or happy hour. A staircase provides easy access to the flybridge, which is massive for a boat of this size. The bridgedeck runs almost all the way to the transom, creating tons of room for a U-shaped sofa with table and a well-equipped outdoor kitchen and barbecue with cold storage and companion seating.
The flybridge also protects the cockpit below from sun and weather, and you could have a dozen people on the bridge comfortably and safely, thanks to the glass and banisters that enclose the area. The bow has yet another outdoor lounge area with a rotating sunpad that can be configured in multiple ways. The portside flybridge helm is designed to provide everything needed to run the boat while remaining subtle and compact so it doesn’t interfere with the panoramic view. The boat is available with two engine packages: twin Volvo Penta V6 12.8L 1,000-horsepower propulsion offers a 23-knot cruise and 27-knot top end, while twin MAN V8 16.2L 1,200-horsepower engines provide a 25-knot cruise and 30-knot top end. The enclosed helm in the salon is a true command station with great visibility thanks to a massive windshield. A starboard door next to the helm allows the captain to step on the wide sidedecks for better visibility when tying up. The windshield and floor-to-ceiling salon windows let light shine in, giving the salon an open feel. The full-beam master stateroom with a large en suite head has more windows so you can see the water or stars from the berth. Appointed with a sofa, vanity, and computer area, this stateroom is a nice escape when you need downtime. A VIP cabin in the bow and a pair of berths in a third room round out the sleeping quarters, while the aft crew cabin offers additional accommodations and access to the engine room.
Galeon, a Poland-based builder, has been known for its fold-out, drop-down decks and terraces, but the 620 Fly has taken the concept to another level. Whether entertaining or voyaging, this boat does a fine job of making the ocean center stage. For those seeking a charter yacht that combines luxury, innovation, and unprecedented outdoor living space, the Galeon 620 Fly represents a new standard in the 60-plus segment.
