Why dont you show the prices
@Bertram Ocasio you're right - nobody gives a shit.
@@debbiejudd4933 400.000 USD
I like that you highlight negatives as well and not just thinking about being nice all the time to get invited again.
Such a good use of space, way ahead of Princess and Fairline. Finally someone bringing thought and invention to the 40ft market, very fresh. Well done Galeon.
A very rational and focussed review..the choice between good cabin space and good deck space is a long vexing question but at least you showed the choice without bias. Thank you . Paul
I marvel at the ingenuity and design of this 40 ft. space.
I am liking Galleon more every time I see a review or tour.👍
I don't want any other boat, just this one.. idc if I can have a bigger one. This one is truly perfect for me.
I don’t have the money for a boat let alone this, but I would sacrifice the head room where I have to sleep for the awesome cockpit and entertaining area. This would be an awesome boat to throw friends on and head out for weekend having a good time.
Man alive, the features they put in to the boats these days. Amazing.
Always such great reviews! Thanks Jack!
i've heard of Manspreading but this is Boatspreading 😁😁😁 nice review Jack 👍
Best 40 ft I have seen accept for masters entry !
This yacht is amazing 🔥🔥🔥
dose it have a seekeeper it seems very wobbly ?
Omg that looks marv!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Yeah seems to be moving quite a bit unless if its fitted with a seakeeper it hasnt had time to spin up to full speed
It is a low quality build that has no thinking involved other then it's gimmicky features.
@@blewyd Said the naval architect…..
@@PhilbyFavourites nobody has to be a naval architect to go to a boat show and sea trial
I wonder why more manufacturers are not doing it on their smaller yachts. Such a neat way to massive expand the space.
This is a small yacht
@@Beniamin6665 That's why he asked why others arent doing it on their small yachts. Maybe they own the rights to that design I donno. But it seems similar to how mobile homes extend their walls outwards and it seems like everyone is doing that.
The first model of every new Galeon delivered to the UK is purchased by the dealer with almost the biggest spec possible with the view that this will be a display boat. A typical UK spec boat that of course can be tailored to each owner is £570,000 inc VAT & Delivery. If the dealer displayed the first boat into the country with zero options would be a fairly poor show on the video's. The balcony's are optional although not one model with this option has ever been built without them, but not everyone can embrace change for the better. Yes the aft cabin is a compromise as all 40ft boats are. If you want bigger there is a 420 fly, 460 fly, 470 skydeck plus many more models around this size which has been mostly dropped by the UK boat builders, where as i see this being the biggest UK market segment. I think Tony Castro and his team in Hamble deserve huge applause for this 400 fly, although they have been doing the balcony's for over 5 years it shows how slow the UK market really is to catch up.
i might get this boat so i like watching reviews on it
Sweet little ride w/ lots of options.
Wow
Perfect size
Yeap for it’s size it’s the best but, not for the money. For that much you can have a princess yacht very well equipped
How much is it?
Mateusz MKEB this particular costs £710,000
Exellent video Jack
Very nice boat Jack
Cracking boat but that headroom in the master/guest cabin is some compromise to content with permanently
Definitely. I think it even kills this boat
Cracking ??
@@Beniamin6665 It means awesome, in this context. It's British slang.
"You don't have headroom in the master suite..." EXCEPT when you stand up right where you were saying that... Seriously. There's a head cubby just above you. Plenty of stand-up clearance...
Great video.
A very good review 👍
Getting dressed in the master cabin while kneeled over isn't great. Bit of me wonders if its just soo much compromise
Seems like there was quite a bit of space above him, I wonder if he could actually have stood upright in that spot.
Repair shops love it
Wonder how the durability of the structure holds up over time on these convertibles. The sea is a harsh mistress
Loved it!!!!
I love what this yacht can do and I always have... I love where the tv is positioned... not sure if the table across lowers and slides out or not but it should. The master cabin is horrible and should be the VIP and bathrooms switched. I do not like where the kitchen is on this yacht but I think it is because I have loved it being in the back but on a larger version where it opens up to the cockpit and the side deck with bar stools. All in all decent ... it is just the size holding it back.
A good vid by Jack
Hi Jack. I like all the transformer which reminds me off Thunderbirds. Shame about the dwarf master. So many other options for same size and price. Great video thanks.
If you happen to have reviews of all the other 40-45' flybridges you mentioned, should pin a message with the links
Good point Jason, will do!
I wish someone would do the same clever features, but in a high end build.
Mine would have the white surfaces wrapped in grey 🙌
Galeon makes some of the best Yachats around imo
Not at all.
Some may call it gimmicks but I'm betting they aren't having a hard time shifting these flys. No other competitor is innovating like Galeon. They are going to be a force when they perfect their craft.
Amazing boat, ruined by the lack of head room in the ‘master cabin’. I’m sure many would put up with it, but I’d buy a different boat for that money.
Except that the place he was crouching and complaining about the lack of headroom appeared to have plenty of headroom in which to stand. So there is some adequate headroom, and seemingly no need to crouch where he was crouching. There are, of course some low parts that you have to stay aware of, but it's not as bad as having the whole thing be too low, you can stand in parts.
How much better would it be on this boat to have balconies right around the stern. 3 sides.
I think they really dropped the ball here.
And ya, 99 things right, and what do they talk about, the 1 thing wrong
What a great improvement I gotta say
Mmmnn 700K for that pokey little thing ? for the same money I'll take a full spec 2005 Sunseeker 82 instead !
Absolutely -
2020 engine is not same 2005 engine you can have so much problem with an older boat
@@kitan0_tv351 that isn't true at all. Most of them are rebuilt anyway. You don't know what you're talking about
@@kitan0_tv351 a 2005 boat isn't even THAT old..
Don't forget the maintenance and all the other costs. These costs are massive on a 82 footer.
Galeon have some really good ideas, and the workmanship is really good. But then they have big issues, like the headroom here, an engine room that you can barely get into, clunky floors transitions etc. The helms are terrible - so much stuff, all those dials. And no joysticks on typical models.
I like the bigger models with the rotating sunpad and I think the fold out areas are a brilliant feature.
40' is a perfect size boat for me,,I wish they put the galley & bar stool arrangement on this model like they have on the 50'.
10 foot is more than 3meters, they can't put more things into 40feet.
please someone could answer to my question? why the floor are not flat on the boat?
A wireless mic would work wonders for the audio ... just saying. 🤔
so i cant use the rear cooler while underway cause ill risk falling overboard ( or the rear sink) and then when the rear platform is lowered i cant use the grill cause im not 7ft tall. and that also makes the sink and rear cooler harder to see into. wow
Is it just me or is the swaying back and forth of the camera making one sea sick...?
Seakeeper??
can it come without the flybridge and can it carry a small dingy?
She needs to be lengthend .. in order for the proper bouyance .. as she is way too small for those folding Balconys normally found on the much larger Superyachts . As she was well rocking about . Top heavy IMO .
They have made far to compact like a Suzuki Vitara/Diahatsu Sportrak when turning a corner at speed it keels over ...
And the Grill section is in the wrong place .
Galeon doesn't care about anything other than looking cool. They're built like absolute shit aswell.
Is the platform included in the given length information?
That thing needs a seakeeper stat.
On mark: 1:11, that swim platform looks like a trip hazard, I plated it back a few times, do not see any type of non skid or covering to prevent little ones, or drunk ones from slipping into the step assembly or the tracks in which the steps came out of.
Darwin takes care of the drunks…
A little bit disappointed with the master cabin height, but that's not nearly as disappointing as knowing that beige dashboards are considered contemporary again...
You normally disclose the purchase price... always good to know! Cheers
00:40 - £710,000
Quite a bit of weight up high for a 40 footer.
Needs a sea keeper...
where are the cup holders ??
So, basically a mini 640?
I just can’t understand why they wouldn’t prioritize headroom for the master cabin. The VIP should really be the master.
700,000 to get sea sick at anchor doesnt really make sense
이배의 가격좀 올려주시죠₩? ㅡㅡㅡ머니
Good vide but the camera is shaking too much and moving around a lot
Interesting boat, but what happened to the audio? 😕
Wonder what you do for a living to be able to buy a 700k boat.
Most likely 80 hrs per week for 35 years without vacations or breaks now finally hoping to semi retire and invest in a boat instead of a cottage.
Saving 2000pm invested at around 15-20% will do the trick in a decade or two.
AKA. The _MY Tardis!_
Nice boat, but huge A pillars at the helm due to fly-bridge.
Azimut magellano 53 is the best, best price best feature even style
Play it at 0.9x if you are dizzy with all the spinning around and zooming.
It's just to much of a compromise but great for a older couple
We are that older couple…..
Swift Trawler every day!
I'd be a little nervous in the swell with the aft opened up like that. One big wave and you're a submarine.
The platforms are only meant to be deployed at anchor in calm conditions
Not a boater, but that many mechanical parts and hydraulics on trivial and questionably usefull feature looks like bad design
Let me get my chequebook I'll buy two of them
Camera salit, salit et unum sicut sub commentario non video. Quomodo hoc opus tuum tractare potes?!
Good presentation, but just another boat with too many gimmicks such as the balconies.
Allen Kracower totally agree. It appeals to people who don’t know much about boats. Just imagine when one of the electric motors fails. So much stuff in the salon you can barely walk through it. And what is the point of a mid full beam cabin with such low headroom.
@@morri03 I agree. Real boaters also know the poor build quality of this Galeon and how unstable and poor handling it is in the water.
Over 700k for a 40 fter is not on. They can add all the balconies they want, rather go for a princess V50 and have an extra cabin.
Crazy nice but out of my 150-200K price range unfortunately. ❤
Looks more like a RV
It’s a very nice bout but I’d pass because of the cabins
The rooms is away a problem on these boats
I usually love your videos, but this one was just riddled with audio issues and amateur camera work. Eesh.
700k for the top spec of a tiny boat. Not feeling it.
Fiyati nedir acaba
At least you can stand up when you are sitting down in the master head.
You mixed up the cabins. The front cabin is the master on this vessel.
Jan dontknowme source?
Clearly you are wrong.
The master has twin split beds? I don’t think so.
Where’s the stereo. Lol
Great boat, but the dwarf master killed it as an option. Pity.
It looks cramped, especially on the main deck, putting the galley aft and taking out one of the seating areas would make it feel too busy..and compromising headroom in the lower deck is a bad design move most companies wouldn't even dream of in this class..
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Its just too small to be what it is.
spacig
too cramped. for that kind of money I do not want to crawl in my bedroom. also the galley placement, no one can pass you while cooking just too cramped.
High end master suite that you can’t stand in up??? Makes zero sense.
40 foot boat.
Potatohead
Ridiculously expensive boat. Manufacturers outta lose their agents and sell factory direct. It is a global world.
Very light, rocks like a cradle inside the bay. Not for me.
way overpriced tho..
I think this man should get some exercise. looks tired just from speaking...
All that money for something that isn't Class A.
so, not the coolest 40ft fly on the market... if I spent so much money on a boat I would expect a lot more then a room I need to walk on all 4s. Absurd
