Walking the Miami boat show docks along Collins Avenue, I overheard a couple talking as they stepped off the Galeon 620 Fly.
“It’s like a floating beach house,” the woman said.
“And it makes our home feel like a shed,” the man responded.
Looking at the boat’s wrap-around dropdown terraces and large outdoor entertaining areas on the flybridge and cockpit, I knew exactly how he felt.
The Galeon 620 Fly is many things in one. It’s a three-stateroom cruiser with an additional aft crew cabin, each with its own head. It’s a mini megayacht with one of the largest flybridges I’ve seen on a vessel in the 65-foot range. But more than anything, the Galeon 620 is a full-on transformer with a master-cabin terrace that’s a true jaw-dropper.
Galeon’s Bob Burke painted the picture perfectly as he showed Power & Motoryacht Editor-in-Chief Dan Harding and me the boat. “You wake up at anchor,” he said as we stood in the master, “make an espresso, and step out on the terrace overlooking the ocean.” It was an easy image to place in my mind as I planned a sojourn. Anchored in a quiet cove, the coolness of morning giving way to daybreak, and not a single barrier between you and the ocean. Is there a better way to start a day?
The 620 Fly has both a beach mode and a terrace mode that, when fully deployed, increases the beam to 23 feet, creating what I can only equate to a summer cottage in the Hamptons with a full wraparound deck. It’s smart design at work, but functional as well. Galeon placed nonskid on the glass areas of the portside terrace, which doubles as a window when retracted and flush against the hull. A terrace on the starboard side makes a perfect spot to tie up a tender so it’s out of the way from swimmers who may be playing on the hydraulic swim platform that transforms the aft deck into a waterside lounge.
This boat does an incredible job of blurring the lines between interior and exterior spaces. You can open the salon doors so the well-appointed space flows right into a spacious cockpit that has room for a large outdoor dining table with seating for eight. When the boat is in “beach-mode,” a balcony adjacent to the galley opens up complete with stools, creating an open bar area that could be used for an open-air breakfast or happy hour.
A staircase provides easy access to the flybridge, which is massive for a boat of this size. The bridgedeck runs almost all the way to the transom, creating tons of room for a U-shaped sofa with table and a well-equipped outdoor kitchen and barbecue with cold storage and companion seating. The flybridge also protects the cockpit below from sun and weather. You could have a dozen people on the bridge comfortably and safely, thanks to the glass and banisters that enclose the area. The bow has yet another outdoor lounge area with a rotating sunpad that can be configured in multiple ways.
The portside flybridge helm is designed in a way that provides everything you need to run the boat, with full controls and electronics, but it’s set down low and is somewhat compact and subtle so it doesn’t interfere with the panoramic view. And that’s not to take away anything from running the 620 Fly, which is plenty sporty. The boat is available with two engine packages: twin Volvo Penta V6 12.8L 1,000-horsepower propulsion offers a 23-knot cruise and 27-knot top end while twin MAN V8 16.2L 1,200-horsepower engines provide a 25-knot cruise and 30-knot top end.
The enclosed helm in the salon is a true command station with great visibility thanks to a massive windshield. There’s a starboard door next to the helm that the captain can use to step on the wide sidedecks to get a better view when tying up. The windshield and floor-to-ceiling salon windows let the light shine in, giving the salon an open feel.
The full-beam master stateroom with a large en suite head has more windows so you can see the water or stars from the berth. Appointed with a sofa, vanity, and computer area, this stateroom is a nice escape when you need some shuteye or downtime. A VIP cabin in the bow and a pair of berths in a third room round out the sleeping quarters, while the aft crew cabin offers additional accommodations and access to the engine room.
Galeon, a Poland-based builder, has been known for its fold-out, drop-down decks and terraces but the 620 Fly has taken the concept to another level. Whether entertaining or voyaging, this boat does a fine job of making the ocean center stage.
