Our written review of the GALEON 560 FLY is now live! Follow the link for the detailed review, pricing, rivals & deck plans: www.yachtbuyer.com/en/reviews/galeon-560-fly-2023
It’s a great boat and this is how tours should be done. Comprehensively showing how things work etc. Really excellent. My only peeve are the rectangle opening port holes . Oh and the ‘fly through’ shots are awesome. Thanks Jack & Bruce.
Comprehensive review Jack, very well put together. I liked the feature of how to assemble the side decks. Also, you gave fair critique to a few issues that the manufacturer may have overlooked. Your reviews are probably the best out there at the moment.
Great Yacht! Great concept. Take your boat to a nice little secluded cove, drop anchor, set up beach club (yes it's kind of a clunky process but you're going to be there for the weekend) and enjoy your own private island. 😊
Jack, you did an amazing video tour. Thank you !!! Galeon innovates a lot. It is a great boat for the Med, to enjoy with large groups (family and friends) yet within a relative small lenght to be able to find a berth.
I love the design aspects of Galeons. There seem to be a few cats being brought on these days, and I've liked the Aquila 70 for a while, but have always thought that it could do with some Galeon panache with the interior/exterior design; the Aquila appears somewhat 'clinical' in these respects - I'd love to see Galeon do a cat, as I'm sure they'd get the design right.
Your reviews have to be the best around Jack. This Galeon 560 Fly is pretty amazing, however appreciate your honest appraisal which includes a few shortfalls.
I always worry about all of those bells and whistles breaking. I love that you add the pricing for all of the upgrades to your reviews - we finally get to see what this stuff costs. Princess always appeals to my esthetics - but this does seem a more practical layout.
It´s a really nice boat. However the beautiful woodwork on the fairline´s would easily be the deciding factor for me, had I been in the market for a planing boat.
I have an idea for the easing the prep of the stanchions. Pre thread the lines through each stanchion in order. At the forward stanchion, loop up from the lower to the upper, ignoring for the moment where the line connects to the hull. Instead, use a short separate line to make, tying separately to the forward stamchion. You would keep the ends aft, just as you do now. In this manner you keep the line thread. Simply roll the stanchions up on the,selves for storage. I think it would be a great time saver. I really like this boat and your review, well done.
Galon design great boats, as you say she a cruiser not a racer. She'll be meandering around safe and comfortable steady as she go. Nice boat great review. Oh and thanks for the entertainment of the poles and rope. You did say there was a crew cabin so now you mastered this you could get a job on this boat.
Another great Sea Trial Saturday review Jack, love these longer, more detailed reviews 👍 Galeon seems popular around here, so i suspect this will also help push you to the big 500k..! 👍
Perfect video for the perfect boat but i do wonder if in a thousand years divers will be investigating why there are piles of stainless poles all over the seabed 😆❤️🇬🇧
Hay Jack, the rope railings, laborious, is a kind word for putting up and taking down those railings. Personally I'd keep the rope running it through it, and just keep the polls parallel to each other and, rolled the whole thing up! Easy-Peezy! At 21:33 VIP cabin is very noisy from what sounds like the water lapping against the hull? Otherwise, VIP cabin is gorgeous.
It's "ok". Maybe my expectations are too high. Or maybe one of these yacht manufacturers needs to approach me to help them design the perfect yacht in these respective sizes
I enjoyed the content generally (and liked the boat!) but some of the swoopy camerawork made me seasick. Unnecessary. Also not generally related to the topic under discussion.
These balconies.. I just don’t get it. Complicated construction. Takes a lot of time to get up and down. Completely unusable in a marina environment. Expensive. Will most likely break down after a few years, with huge expenses for repairs

Love the long form videos... Very detailed packed and leaves me with zero questions to be asked. 🍻
Great to hear! - Jack

Wow jack, the perfect boat for the Bahamas, lake of the ozarks, or a day out with tons of friends! Great job bud
Faultless review or a brilliant boat.
Really enjoyed every second of that, thank you Jack, Bruce & team.
I always love a Galeon review! They're able to squeeze so many thoughtful touches.
Great boat, great tour, Jack. Love the berthing part, always nice to watch and in particular the overhead shots. Keep that in, please.
Thanks, will do! - J
Practical demos are by far the best reviews to show us boats in real world scenarios.
Thank you 🙏
Hands down one of my favourite tours of a production yacht on the channel. Absolutely stunning from start to finish! 😍
My. My. My. Captain Jack! This is a Beautiful Yacht ❤
Thanks for sharing 😂
Good job you field Slavs. What an impressive machine.
Jack, you did an amazing video tour. Thank you !!!

Probably my favorite boat. Well done. 👍
They have greatly improved their ID. Appreciate your journalistic hardwork with the prices for the add ons. Great job as always.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that - Jack
I might set that barrier up once then just roll up the poles with the rope to skip a step
Innovative video ❤❤ loved this one most thank you
Shout out to the drone operator. Amazing shots and really ads to the tour.
Great video as always. Amazing family cruiser. Dreams.
Agreed and thanks! - Jack

I agree 100%, the wood on the Fairline is stunning.
Thought Jack was never gonna get that railing up lol way to go champ!
👊
Cool FPV opening shot!

Ha! Always good to have a plan B! - J
my favourite yacht to date
Great review and test as always. I hope you'll do the same with an Absolute 56 - just to compare both
We shall see!
Another great Sea Trial Saturday review Jack, love these longer, more detailed reviews 👍
Galeon seems popular around here, so i suspect this will also help push you to the big 500k..! 👍
Let’s hope so! Thanks for watching 👊 - Jack
Love how you were trying so hard not to say how tall you were. “Somebody of six foot tall…….” 😂
👀😂
It's so nice to see someone sharing such beautiful art. Keep it up!💧 ^ ☘️!
I really enjoyed this style of video, I know it was a lot of work. keep up they great work !!
It was! And we very much appreciate the recognition, thank you. Very glad to hear you enjoyed it - Jack
Outstandng.
what a boat. stunning
Perfect video for the perfect boat but i do wonder if in a thousand years divers will be investigating why there are piles of stainless poles all over the seabed 😆❤️🇬🇧
I thought the same thing myself! - J
@@Yachtbuyer great minds and all that 😉
Come on jack, you were losing your mind that the sink wasn’t next to the grill! lol, great job bud
😂
Thanks Jack! I'd like a enclosed fly from Riviera...please..😊
Question, does anyone know if? Galeon will do the skydeck version of 560 fly I sure hope so
Hay Jack, the rope railings, laborious, is a kind word for putting up and taking down those railings.

I really wish they would make the carousel option available for the 560!
for what you get, compared to other makes at similer sizes, that is really good value for money.
Wedding cake’ on the water incoming 😏🎊
Jack would be on a super yacht and tell us it doesn’t drive like a speed boat.
Not my type of boat. Too many moving parts, I'd go for a catamaran or a trawler. Top review though 👍
Thanks 👍
very nice and comprehensive video on this yacht. I wonder if this has a water maker or its an option
25:28 Are we talking about the crew cabin for 35k options, but with 95dB cabin noise for free...
very nice review. I wonder if a water maker is standard or an option if ever available?
I know it’s not really important but could they not match the chopping board to the colour of the units?
Ok Jack this or the Princess 55 Azimut 53 no sitting on fences etc.Why on the fixed sunroof are there no solar panels bit of a waste there
❤❤
5:26 Ketch or Yawl?
personally I would like to have a 65' to 75', but in this case, I would rather have the 60'.
A quiet like the azimut Magliano it’s a bit of a gentleman‘s boat and it’s not about where you get it’s about getting there
It's "ok". Maybe my expectations are too high. Or maybe one of these yacht manufacturers needs to approach me to help them design the perfect yacht in these respective sizes
Option costs… Almost double the price to get to a decent equipment level… Phew.
I enjoyed the content generally (and liked the boat!) but some of the swoopy camerawork made me seasick. Unnecessary. Also not generally related to the topic under discussion.
Fair comment. We’re playing with the FPV drone to see how/if it can improve our content. Thanks for watching - Jack
I agree… its to much
They should make a cat!!,
👀

These balconies.. I just don’t get it. Complicated construction. Takes a lot of time to get up and down. Completely unusable in a marina environment. Expensive. Will most likely break down after a few years, with huge expenses for repairs
Galeon’s are plastic boats….
They’re not the only ones…
Faultless review or a brilliant boat.
Really enjoyed every second of that, thank you Jack, Bruce & team.
