THE GALEON YACHTS 440 FLY IS THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED WITH THE CRUISING FAMILY IN MIND.

UNDER THE HOOD 

The Volvo Penta D6 diesel is adapted from the manufacturer's truck engine, which is known for solid power, strong torque and high reliability. An in-line six-cylinder, 5.5-liter, 336-cubic-inch block puts out 480 hp using common-rail fuel injection, dual overhead camshafts and a turbocharger.

DESIGNER TONY CASTRO PENNED THE

Galeon Yachts 440 Fly, a yacht that looks long, lean and fast, even at rest. And beyond the vessel's sleek profile is a nicely appointed two- or three-stateroom, two-head layout with multiple entertainment and lounging areas - far more creature comforts than you'd expect to find aboard a boat with such a slender appearance. Castro achieved this sleight of hand in two ways: First, he covered the topside windows with a black slash that runs nearly the length of the yacht to bring light into the staterooms. The slash also lowers the visual height of the topsides considerably.
