Galloping across the sea in the new Galeon 380 Flybridge

Posted on May 9, 2012 by World Sports Boats

Galeon 380 Fly is a third generation Galeon yacht and a clear successor to the tried and tested 390 Fly. The distinctive line shares similarities with the bigger 420 Fly and even 780 Crystal and yet remains fresh and recognizable.

The sporty and dynamic silhouette quickly catches the eye with its hull-length windows, aggressive lines and welcoming flybridge. Major focus was put on making the interior as bright and specious as possible. The arched stainless steel doors slide to the side revealing a cozy salon flushed with natural light thanks to the drop down windows on both sides and a slightly tilted windshield made from a single sheet of glass for perfect visibility.

Outside the transformable settee with adjustable lumbar support folds out to an aft facing sundeck and has built in laminate doors to neatly close off the cockpit. The bow sundeck has conveniently placed cup holders and regulated headrest so it can be put in the upright position to create back support for the settee. Wide side decks and generously placed hand railings are great for crew while mooring and at the rough sea. Yacht owners will also appreciate the foldable radar arch and mast, which allows for an easier passage under bridges and other obstacles.

The main deck will feature a comfortable dinette, helmsman station and a galley that can be moved down below in the two cabin version. Numerous interior design options with a choice of high quality natural woods allow to fully customize the yacht to suit all needs. Below deck up to three cabins can be found while the separated shower cabin and head ensure comfort and privacy for the passengers. The bow owners cabin is well lit thanks to the skylight with an integrated hatch and has numerous compartments for storage.

Shaft and Z-drives propulsions are available along with numerous Diesel engine options. The extended maneuverability pack for the Z-drives includes a joystick at both steering stations for an easy and effortless handling in tight spaces and marinas. High-end electronic equipment by Raymarine will ensure a safe and comfortable voyage regardless of weather conditions.
