Galeon’s popular 440 FLY was awarded a prestigious Yacht Style Award in the 13-15M Motor Yacht category in April 2024, further cementing her credibility as a leader in the flybridge sector.
Recognized for its innovative design, excellent performance and luxurious facilities, the Galeon 440 Fly stood out from its competitors. This award confirms Galeon's commitment to delivering excellent designs with the highest quality of craftsmanship and strengthens the company's position in the international arena.
The sleek exterior marks another collaboration with the esteemed Tony Castro Design Studio and is instantly recognisable as it follows the trends set by the fourth generation of Galeon yachts. A unique combination of a dynamic silhouette with sporty accents throughout is complimented by the large windows on both decks that illuminate the interior. A clear focus is placed upon practicality and versatility of all outside spaces to provide guests with generous options to relax, with ease to move around the yacht safely.
Below deck, 3 wonderful cabins accommodate 6 guests and they feature generous storage, full height wardrobe and an impressive 7 ft head height.
‘As for the drop-down terraces themselves, they are really well judged. Such is their vertical elevation that they add a massive 7ft (more than 50%) to the beam when deployed; and when they’re raised, the fact they use large integrated glazing sections enables them to add plenty of security without blocking your view,’ says Alex Smith, Motor Boat & Yachting.
He continues, ‘But that’s not the end of the main deck fun because when you step further aft, the hi-lo platform is lined at its leading edge with a big transverse wet bar. It’s optional of course but with an electric griddle, a sink and plenty of work space, it provides everything you need for beach club-style fun, without forcing you inside to the main galley and without stealing any space from that all-important cockpit party.’
Aelx’s verdict:
‘Galeon’s new 440 is a well-conceived and user-friendly boat with huge reserves of seating and a really easy drive.’
