Galeon's 800 FLY hits a blistering 36 mph but doesn't sacrifice on all the niceties of a boat its size. We went onboard.
The 80-footer is designed like a smaller, faster cruiser. Its top end of 36 mph is twice as fast as many boats its size.We’ve come to expect oversized windows on modern cruisers, but the Galeon takes fenestration to a new level. Half the hull seems to be filled with one continuous, dark-tinted window. For the amidships main suite, the glass dips to almost water level to flood the interior with light.
Designer Tony Castro has been the mastermind behind the unusual look of the Galeon line for more than a decade. He doesn’t hold back on the 800. One of its most notable features is the engineering that goes into the flybridge hardtop. Built of strong, lightweight carbon fiber, its only supports are towards the rear, doing away with the typical, and visually-distracting, forward pillars.
Add to that an oversized cockpit, with U-shaped seating/dining for eight and, key for sunny climes, plenty of shade from a lengthy flybridge overhang. You also gain an authentic indoor/outdoor feel in the cockpit by folding back the large, three-glass panel door, while also lifting another glass panel above the port-side cockpit bar.The flybridge is another well-designed, functional and flexible space. At the rear is a large lounge and dining area with twin tables and sofas.
The large flybridge is designed for outdoor living and its sport-boat-like carbon hardtop has swooping, single arches for support.Down below is a quartet of cabins—a full-beam master amidships, port and starboard twin-berth guest cabins, and a VIP double in the bow. But reserve that forward VIP only for the agile as it’s tucked so far forward you need to clamber up from the end. And the space at the forepeak is so narrow couples will be sleeping cheek to cheek. Strange for an 80-footer.
