Galeon 500 Fly Overview
The Galeon 500 Fly might seem like a typical 16-meter Flybridge, but it's far from ordinary. This yacht boasts one of the best party tricks in the sector.
Driving and Performance
Despite its features, the Galeon 500 Fly offers a surprisingly pleasant driving experience. Powered by D11 725 engines, it provides plenty of torque and reaches a comfortable 22-knot cruising speed with a range of about 250 nautical miles. The top speed is around 30 knots, but cruising at 22 knots is recommended for efficiency. The lower helm provides a clear view, though the starboard windscreen mullion creates a blind spot. The controls are well-placed and easy to use, enhancing the driving experience.
On Deck
The Galeon 500 Fly features innovative design elements, such as rotating seats and integrated barbecues. The balconies and hydraulic bathing platform create a versatile outdoor space. The foredeck offers seating that can transform from U-shaped dining to lounging, with glass panels providing natural light to the VIP cabin below. The side decks are substantial and safe, with easy access to all areas. The main deck includes a galley with ample counter space and a smart inside/outside bar area.
Interior
The saloon features a sliding door that opens up the space, connecting it seamlessly with the cockpit. The galley is well-equipped with induction cooking, a dishwasher, and a variety of wood finishes. The interior layout includes a bunk cabin, a VIP cabin with plenty of storage and natural light, and a luxurious master cabin with a private ensuite. The master cabin boasts a flat floor, ample headroom, and a mix of artificial and natural lighting.
Engine Room
Access to the engine room is through the saloon floor, which can be a bit fiddly but provides decent access once inside. The Galeon 500 Fly is powered by Volvo Penta D11 725 engines, with options for smaller or IPS configurations. The engine room is well-organized, with easy access to ancillaries and clear fuel inspection. The startup process is straightforward, and the boat offers fine control with twin shafts and proportional bow and stern thrusters.
Verdict
The Galeon 500 Fly impresses with its innovative design and practical features. While some competitors may offer superior accommodation, the 500 Fly stands out with its value for money and added sparkle.
