New Class Leader? 🏆 NEW Galeon 520 Fly Yacht Tour & Review

Join Jack Haines on YachtBuyer at the Galeon 520 FLY’s world premiere at the Palm Beach Boat Show 2026 for a full yacht tour of this 17.2m (56ft) flybridge yacht from Galeon Yachts. Replacing the 500 FLY and sitting between the 480 and 560 in the range, it is powered by twin Volvo Penta D11 725hp engines with shaft drive, and keeps a proven hull while shifting the focus to how the space above deck is used day to day for owner-operator cruising. On deck, the Galeon 520 FLY builds around access to the water and usable space. The hydraulic bathing platform lowers to form a proper stair, and the cockpit opens out with Beach Mode balconies that extend the beam. Seating can rotate to face aft, and the foredeck moves away from a simple sunpad into a sunken lounge with a table that drops to create a full sunbed. Up top, the flybridge adds a second social area with covered seating, wet bar, and forward companion seats. Inside, this Galeon flybridge yacht keeps the layout open and connected. The aft galley sits level with the cockpit and links through a large opening window, and the saloon opens out on both sides when the balconies are deployed. Seating stays connected to the outside, while the forward lounge works as a dining space or TV area. Materials shift to warmer tones, and the focus stays on how the space works in real use. Accommodation on the Galeon 520 FLY includes three cabins for six guests, with a full-beam owner’s cabin amidships accessed by its own stair, and a VIP and twin cabin forward sharing a bathroom. Storage is practical throughout, and there is the option of a crew cabin aft. This is an owner-operator flybridge yacht aimed at buyers who want flexible space and strong outdoor living, and this yacht tour looks at whether those ideas hold up beyond the dock. https://www.yachtbuyer.com/reviews/galeon-520-fly-2026 https://www.yachtbuyer.com/galeon/for-sale/520-fly Connect With Us! 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yachtbuyer 👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YachtBuyer/ 🎥 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@yachtbuyer.com 🐦 Twitter (X): https://x.com/yachtbuyer 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/yachtbuyer/ Please 'Like', 'Subscribe', and join our community of yacht enthusiasts. 👇 Share your thoughts on the Galeon 520 Fly in the comments! ================= Timestamps ================= 00:00 Galeon 520 Fly World Premiere Intro 00:47 Hydraulic Bathing Platform & Aft Grill 02:05 Drop-Down Balconies & Cockpit Bar 03:10 Sunken Foredeck Lounge & Sunpad 04:18 Flybridge Deck, Hardtop & Helm 07:20 Main Deck Galley & Saloon Connectivity 09:29 Lower Helm Station & Sliding Door 10:50 Shaft Drive Engines & Performance 11:22 VIP Bow Cabin & Twin Guest Accommodation 14:02 Private Amidships Owner's Cabin 15:58 Our Verdict & Future Sea Trials #YachtTour #BoatTour #YachtBuyer #LuxuryYacht #Galeon520FLY #GaleonYachts #FlybridgeYacht #JackHaines #MotorYacht #BoatReview #YachtLife #boatshow This video is part of the YachtBuyer network, featuring detailed yacht and boat tours, sea trials, and reviews.
