A 56-Foot Flybridge Where Six-Footers Can Stand Up Straight

· 1 min read

Galeon's 520 Fly pairs twin 725-horsepower Volvo Penta D11 engines with a top end of 29 knots, the kind of numbers that put this 56-foot flybridge cruiser solidly in the run-hard-then-entertain category. Below, the salon clears six feet six inches of headroom, enough that a tall owner or guest can stand at the bar without ducking, a detail spec sheets rarely bother to list but owners notice immediately. It is a small measurement that says a great deal about how the boat was actually meant to be lived on, not just photographed.

With reporting from Yachting.
