The Polish shipyard Galeon is expanding its range with the new 420 Fly. The flybridge yacht is 12.80 metres long and features two cabins and three outdoor areas. A special feature is the fold-out side panels in the cockpit. These increase the boat’s width to almost six metres, creating significantly more space right at the water’s edge.

The Galeon 420 Fly is based on the 400 Fly, but the shipyard has significantly refined its design. Large windows, plenty of glass in the superstructure and a sleek side profile characterise its appearance. The boat is 12.80 metres long and 4.25 metres wide.

More space in the cockpit

The aft cockpit features an L-shaped seating area with a folding table. There is also a wet bar. Particularly striking are the two side bulkheads, which can be folded outwards. This increases the width of the cockpit to 5.90 metres.

Together with the extended bathing platform, this creates a large area right at the water’s edge. At the same time, the passage from the stern to the bow remains unobstructed on both sides. There is also a large sun lounger in the foredeck.

Open-plan lounge

In the saloon, the Galeon combines the galley, dining area and lower helm station in a single open-plan space. On the starboard side there is a C-shaped seating area with a folding table, and opposite it is another sofa.

The galley is situated right next to it and is easily accessible from both the saloon and the cockpit. The lower helm is located at the bow on the starboard side and is fitted with a double seat. The large windows provide plenty of natural light and a good view of the outside.

Two cabins below deck

There are two cabins below deck. The owner’s cabin is situated amidships and spans the full width of the hull. As well as a double bed, it features storage space and an en-suite bathroom. The comparatively high ceiling is also designed to provide greater freedom of movement.

The second twin cabin is located in the bow and also has its own bathroom. This makes the 420 Fly ideal for both families and two couples who wish to travel together.

Plenty of space on the flybridge

The flybridge of the Galeon 420 Fly is also spacious and extends far aft. At its centre is a large seating area with a table. A wet bar and a barbecue are also included.

The upper helm is centrally positioned, offering a good all-round view. The flybridge thus serves as a separate lounge area without taking up any space in the cockpit below.

Two drive options

Galeon offers two engine options. The 420 Fly can be fitted with either DPI-Z drives or a conventional shaft drive.

According to the shipyard, the maximum engine output is two times 353 kilowatts, or a total of 480 PS. Buyers can therefore choose which propulsion system to use, depending on the intended area of operation and their own preferences.

Editor Test & Technology

Ole Puls was born in Schleswig in 1999. He quickly swapped the football pitch for the Schlei and grew up sailing a wide variety of dinghies and tall ships. From his grandfather's self-built wooden opti and a Europe to a 49er and an X362 Sport, there was a lot to choose from. After leaving school, Puls decided to train as a boat builder at the high-tech shipyard Knierim Yachtbau in Kiel in 2016. He successfully completed his training in 2020 and stayed at the shipyard as a bachelor. In 2022, he decided not only to build boats, but also to test them. Since then, he has been working for Delius Klasing Verlag in the Test & Technology section of BOOTE magazine. The training he received and the eye for detail and quality of workmanship he acquired help him immensely today. Even though he is a regatta sailor with heart and soul, he feels right at home on motorboats and enjoys separating his professional and private lives and yet combining them. Because we all know one thing: there is simply no better place to be than on the water.
