The Galeon 460 Fly has a unique selling point with its pair of folding platforms. The 460 Fly features three cabins, two of which are ensuite, and can be equipped with either shaft drives or IPS.
Design and Features
The cockpit is a standout feature, with a pair of barstools close to the galley and fridge, making it a great spot for a drink before dinner. The doors slide across to create a seamless connection between the cockpit and the saloon. A two-way bench allows seating that faces either into the boat or out towards the water, enhancing the social atmosphere.
The platforms add significant space and functionality, taking about ten seconds each to deploy. They are particularly useful at anchor, providing a spot for children to sit with their feet dangling over the edge. The platforms are operated by a simple system of hinges and hydraulic rams, but they are not available with the lowest-powered engines due to weight constraints.
Interior
Inside, the saloon benefits from large windows that let in plenty of natural light. The galley is well-equipped with ample storage, including pantry storage and top-loading fridges. The main seating area is spacious and offers excellent views. Despite the high quality, the helm area lacks storage space for small items like mobile phones or sunglasses.
Cabins
The 460 Flybridge has three cabins. The guest cabin amidships features twin bunk beds, with the lower bunk feeling a bit confined but the top bunk being spacious. The VIP cabin is impressive with large windows and ample storage, as well as ensuite access to the day head. The master cabin stands out for its generous headroom, allowing a person over six feet tall to move comfortably around the bed. It also features plenty of storage and a private ensuite.
Conclusion
The Galeon 460 Fly is a well-built, well-priced boat that performs well at sea. The folding platforms offer additional space that sets it apart from competitors. With its thoughtful design and unique features, the 460 Fly successfully differentiates itself in the market, appealing to those looking for something different from the established brands.
