The Galeon 560 Fly is a flybridge yacht with a length of 17.82 metres. The Polish company is presenting the model at boot Düsseldorf with a newly designed interior. The yacht belongs to the medium size class and offers space for up to 14 people on board. The width is 4.82 metres with the side balconies closed and increases to 6.87 metres when they are folded out. The model is approved in CE category B, which means that it is designed for sailing in coastal waters with wind forces of up to Beaufort 8 and wave heights of up to four metres.
New interior concept
The interior design is called the Ocean version in Mediterranean style. Galeon developed it together with Studio Insitu & Partners. The design is based on restrained colours and natural materials. Large windows provide daylight in all areas. Buyers can choose from various surfaces and materials. The main deck combines the saloon, dining area and galley into one open space without partitions.
Flybridge and outdoor areas
The flybridge is elevated above the main deck and offers several seating areas. Glass railings allow a clear view to the outside and make the area appear larger. The helm position is arranged so that the captain has an overview of all areas. Beach mode can be activated in the cockpit. This extends the side walls outwards and increases the usable area at the stern. The bathing platform is dimensioned for water sports, swimming and operating a dinghy.
Lower deck and cabins
Below deck there are three cabins for up to six guests. The owner's cabin stretches across the entire width of the ship and is located amidships. There is a VIP cabin in the bow and a guest cabin. Two bathrooms belong to the accommodation area. The shipyard states that the headroom, storage space and lighting are designed to allow longer stays on board.
