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
