Y achts are the epitome of opulence. They provide the freedom to effortlessly explore unchartered waters, but even more so, they offer an escape from the daily grind. You can leave behind your schedules and stress to embark on a few days of complete tranquility, where your only obligation is to decide when to set sail. It's these rare moments free from worry or constraint that define true luxury — something Galeon applies to their 660 Fly yacht's impeccable design, quality, and capabilities. With two MAN V8-1200 diesel engines, it reaches maximum speeds of 33 knots and a cruising speed of 30 knots — but there's more to this yacht than just speed. "Galeon was founded on craftsmanship," explained Bob Burke, a Galeon Brand Manager for the premier yacht retailer MarineMax. With over 19,000 square feet of workspace and 900 employees, Galeon's dedication to their craft is rooted in their meticulous production, most of which is done by hand. After recently taking a trip to their headquarters and facilities in Poland, Burke saw the construction firsthand. "At least half of the factory touches the boat in one way or another," remarked Burke. With every 660 Fly taking four to five months to complete, each requires unrivaled attention to detail; from the high-quality, custom-built furniture to the flawless, hand- carved embellishments, the hard work of hundreds can be recognized in every facet of this yacht.
