A vintage, low-angle historical photograph of a military Patrol Boat River (PBR) cruising through choppy river water. The dark, camouflage-painted combat vessel features a rounded black hull with a red bottom, kicking up a white water spray from its hull. Soldiers wearing military helmets and gear are visible on board, with a crewman stationed at the helm beneath a black canvas canopy structure equipped with antennas and a radar unit. An American flag flies prominently from the stern, and a machine gun mount is positioned at the back of the vessel under an overcast sky.

Still in Service

A boat once used to train soldiers for combat in Vietnam is ready for her next—and arguably more important—mission.

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.

With its massive terrace and outdoor spaces, the 620 Fly fully embraces the best of boating.
