Galeon Yachts has released details of its latest 700 Sky featuring a brand new interiorconcept fromHong Kong’s InSitu Design andthe Galeon Interior Design Team.Tactilemarbles, textile panelling and warm woods have all been masterfully combined toelevate this successful model to the status of a mini superyacht. It marks the next stepof Galeon’s journey with InSitu, which isactively working on a number of new models.This is the ninth hull of the successful Galeon 700 Sky to be built, but the first to featurethe new interior design. It brings the flagship of the sporty Skydeck line up to date withother recent Galeon launches, including the 520 Fly and 620 Fly. Skydeck models rangefrom 47ft to 70ft and stand out thanks to their sleek lines and low-profile convertiblesports flybridge.
InSitu’s vision for the new interior of the Galeon 700 Sky is a Mediterranean look drawingon one of five distinct palettes. Each offers its own blend of noble woods for thecabinetry, fine Italian leather upholstery and panelling, exclusive textiles and luxuriantceramic surfaces. With names such as ‘pearl’, ‘amber and‘ivory’they are carefully curated to create different ambiances and appeal to different tastes.In this first example of the new interior, the experienced owner mixed and matched fromthe different palettes to create a unique result. With the emphasis on natural tones likebeige, earth and cream, the effect is one of welcoming harmony.
This is further accentuated by the gentle curves of panels and smooth radii of edges.Galeon has also worked hard to give owners flexibility on the layout of the boat. The standard is for a full-beam master cabin amidships, a luxurious VIP with ensuite showerroom forward, and two further guest cabins between the two. The guest cabins can bebuilt as doubles, twins or, in this case, a single with a Pullman that folds out of the sideof the hull. The advantage of the latter is that it offers a cleverly concealed drop-downdesk or vanity table when the Pullman is folded away.There is the choice between a cavernous tender and toy garage behind the transom or ahandy cabin for two crew.
Likeall of Galeon’s yachts, the 700 Sky is capable of exhilarating performance thanks tosmart hull design, weight-conscious build and outfitting, and a generous power train.With the maximum spec of twin 1,200hp MAN V8-1200 diesels, the yacht has a topspeedof 32knots and a rapid cruising pace of 23knots. This latest hull is destined forPolish waters, where it will weather the highs and lows of the Baltic climate,demonstrating its extreme seaworthiness.
“The market is really pulling us towards bigger boats and greater luxury, so we areactively expanding our ranges at the top end, ”said Marta Sledziewska, Marketing and Communications Director at Galeon Yachts. “Our owners demand more space and anever-higher level of interior finish as they seek to create the ambiance of home on thewater. That’s why we have teamed up with InSitu design, known for its high-endresidential work. Expect to see more news from us soon about bigger yachts.
