What this builder is
Galeon is a Polish motor yacht builder founded in 1982 and registered in Straszyn near Gdańsk, whose current range runs from the 335 GTO to the 800 FLY across Flybridge, Skydeck, Hardtop, GTO/GTC/GTI sport and Explorer lines. Its history page dates the first international collaboration to 1992, the first flybridge models (280 FLY, 380 FLY) to 1996 and the design partnership with Tony Castro to 2003 and a new shipyard in Gdańsk to 2006; today the yard is known for fold-out side balconies and rotating cockpit seating that turn the aft deck into a beach platform.
Who sails them
Galeon buyers are typically owner-operators and families cruising the Mediterranean, Baltic and US coasts who want a modern, feature-rich production motor yacht with generous outdoor living and the option to step up in size within the same range; the larger Skydeck and Flybridge models are often run with a small crew.
Signature models
The 500 FLY (2015) introduced the expandable sides and the 400 FLY (2019) brought Beach Mode to a 40-footer; the 620 FLY (2025) added Terrace Mode, the 800 FLY is the current flagship, the GTO series (335–435) covers the sport end and the 430 EXP opened an Explorer line.
Strengths
Galeon is known for inventive deck layouts (opening balconies, transformable cockpits), a broad and frequently renewed range built in-house in Poland, and value relative to Italian and British production yards of the same size.
Considerations
The site's own technical data carry a calibration caveat on its new platform, engine and speed figures are quoted as maximums with optional engines, and many model pairs share a hull (440 FLY / 450 HTC, 640 FLY / 650 SKY), so buyers should compare layouts rather than dimensions.
