With its new swoopy window line, drop-down balconies, and a versatile interior layout, this model offers a luxurious and spacious experience for its size.
Exterior Features
One of the standout features of the Galeon 440 Fly is its drop-down balconies on both sides, which significantly increase the cockpit space when at anchor. The high-load platform at the stern can accommodate a Williams jet rib, and it includes a ladder that transforms into steps down to the water.
The cockpit area is designed for versatility, with a backrest that folds both ways, allowing you to face either forward or backward. The cockpit table can be expanded for dining, and the area can be enclosed with a canopy for added protection.
Interior Layout and Accommodations
Inside, the Galeon 440 Fly features a practical and stylish layout. The doors to the cockpit fold right back to create a seamless indoor-outdoor space. The seating in the cockpit can be reconfigured to face either direction, enhancing the social aspect of the boat. The salon boasts large windows for excellent visibility and natural light. The galley is positioned up, making it a central hub for entertaining, with a two-burner hob, oven, fridge, and ample storage.
The lower deck offers a three-cabin layout, which is quite unusual for a boat of this size. The forward VIP cabin features large hull windows and ample storage. The midships guest cabin includes bunk beds and a large hull window. The owner's cabin, located aft, offers an island bed, large windows, and an en-suite bathroom with a separate shower.
Flybridge and Navigation
The flybridge on the Galeon 440 Fly is spacious, with a large sunbathing area, seating, and a bar with a sink, grill, and fridge. The helm station on the flybridge is well-equipped, providing excellent visibility and control. The main deck helm station includes a comprehensive instrumentation pod, a side door for easy access to the side deck, and an optional radar and satellite dish mountings.
Engine and Performance
The engine room is easily accessible, housing the Volvo Penta D6-440 engines, which provide a top speed of around 28 knots and a cruising speed of 20-25 knots. An IPS option is also available, which offers more power and efficiency. The engine setup ensures a smooth and powerful performance, ideal for a range of cruising activities.
Conclusion
The Galeon 440 Fly is an excellent choice for those seeking a compact yet versatile flybridge boat.
