The VIP stateroom is accessed via its own hallway; note the artwork above the bed.

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.

Galeon 620 Fly

An elevated, high-angle aerial shot of a sleek white Riviera luxury sports express motor yacht cruising rapidly through deep blue open water. 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.

A close-up, high-angle view of the bow of a luxury motor yacht moored on calm water. The bow features highly polished, varnished mahogany wood decking with a stainless steel bow rail, a prominent chrome anchor mounted at the stem, and two braided blue dock lines stretching diagonally across the frame.
