Awesome tour! The drone operator is 🔥. I had the pleasure of seeing this yacht in person at the FLIBS yesterday. It's simply a stunning yacht. My wife and I aren't flybridge fans at all, but something about this boat felt right. We were both amazed that we actually loved it. Our final hour or so at the show was spent at the Galeon booth. With an overall length of 58'8", it didn't feel too big or too small. Galeon is doing an amazing job all-around.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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..! 👍
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.
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 love this yacht. It's another one that (if I owned it) I would find a crew unnecessary. Also, I'm not a fan of coffin bunks. Of course, those are personal preferences. Thanks Jack!
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 😆❤️🇬🇧
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

That’s very kind of you to say, thank you 🙏 - Jack
Wow jack, the perfect boat for the Bahamas, lake of the ozarks, or a day out with tons of friends! Great job bud

Hands down one of my favourite tours of a production yacht on the channel. Absolutely stunning from start to finish! 😍
Jack, you did an amazing video tour. Thank you !!!

Glad you enjoyed it! - J
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
Faultless review or a brilliant boat.
Really enjoyed every second of that, thank you Jack, Bruce & team.
My. My. My. Captain Jack! This is a Beautiful Yacht ❤
Thanks for sharing 😂
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

Practical demos are by far the best reviews to show us boats in real world scenarios.
Thank you 🙏
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
Cool FPV opening shot!
Good job you field Slavs. What an impressive machine.
I might set that barrier up once then just roll up the poles with the rope to skip a step
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
what a boat. stunning

Interesting you should say that… 👀 - Jack
@@Yachtbuyer Oh, really? 😳

Let’s hope so! Thanks for watching 👊 - Jack
Thought Jack was never gonna get that railing up lol way to go champ!

very nice and comprehensive video on this yacht. I wonder if this has a water maker or its an option
my favourite yacht to date
Innovative video ❤❤ loved this one most thank you
Love these boats seeing move on water ❤❤ thank you yacht buyer 😊
Our pleasure, Allen! - J
Great review and test as always. I hope you'll do the same with an Absolute 56 - just to compare both
We shall see!
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.
Ha! Always good to have a plan B! - J
Question, does anyone know if? Galeon will do the skydeck version of 560 fly I sure hope so
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 agree 100%, the wood on the Fairline is stunning.
Thanks Jack! I'd like a enclosed fly from Riviera...please..😊
Outstandng.
I love this yacht. It's another one that (if I owned it) I would find a crew unnecessary. Also, I'm not a fan of coffin bunks. Of course, those are personal preferences. Thanks Jack!
Love how you were trying so hard not to say how tall you were. “Somebody of six foot tall…….” 😂
👀😂
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
😂
Superb review.
🙌
I really wish they would make the carousel option available for the 560!
I know it’s not really important but could they not match the chopping board to the colour of the units?
very nice review. I wonder if a water maker is standard or an option if ever available?
25:28 Are we talking about the crew cabin for 35k options, but with 95dB cabin noise for free...
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 👍
With baloneys down can you drive and at what speeds❤
I think displacement (< 10 knots) would be fine for short journeys - Jack
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
Was there a lot of water noise on the hull during this or was it just me? Seemed excessive.
5:26 Ketch or Yawl?
❤❤
I like to buy this Galeon 560
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
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
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
Back rest is too low to give any support
Referring to the back rests in the bow setup
They should make a cat!!,

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.
