Hallmarks of the Galeon range include the ingenious Beach Mode, cantilevered side decks that extend the width of the cockpit for additional leisure space on board.

According to Alexander Marine Australia Dealer Principal Todd Holzapfel, the new models stand out in their categories for their award-winning innovation, numerous design features and quality construction.

“Since their launch last year, we are thrilled with the reception of Galeon Motor Yachts and the level of interest from Australian and New Zealand boaties,” he said.

“These new models represent the next generation of Galeon in terms of added recreational space, precision engineering and impeccable European interiors.

“In the US, Galeon is the fastest growing brand in this segment. They perfectly suit the Australian boating lifestyle and now is a great time to invest in a new boat ahead of this summer on the water.”
