The jig is set for the new Canyon Runner.

Caterpillar C18s should provide the boat with a 32-knot (36.8 mph) cruise.

Sea trials are about three months away.

A high-angle, overhead aerial action shot of a sleek white and black Galeon 620 Fly luxury yacht cruising fast through dark blue ocean water. The three-deck flybridge vessel carves a sharp turn, generating a dramatic white spray and wake along its starboard side. The massive upper flybridge features extensive beige outdoor sofa seating under a white hardtop bimini roof with black support arches and radar equipment. Below, the teak aft deck cockpit shows a dining table setup, and large dark-tinted glass windows line the main salon deck.

The modern vessel features sweeping dark-tinted hull windows, a large sunpad on the bow deck, and a hardtop roof with an open sunroof. The boat carves smoothly through the sea, casting a crisp reflection on the water's surface to starboard while leaving a powerful, foaming white wake trailing behind its teak-planked swim platform.
