Used Galeon 440 Flybridge Yacht For Sale

A fully open-air flybridge lined by guardrails and tinted windscreen glazing boasts room for the entire family across a sprawling hook-shaped sofa that dominates the starboard side of this cool upper-level. With seating space for up to nine guests, a dining table, an L-shaped forward sofa and an attached wet-bar with a grill and refrigeration, there’s plenty of opportunity to relax and socialize up here, while pilots looking to raise the tempo on the bridge can utilize the elevated outdoor helm for full-throttle excitement.

Down on the foredeck there is a plush, cushioned sunpad in demure tan upholstery with pop-up headrests that can accommodate up to three sun-worshippers at a time, while side-decks lead back to a shaded aft-deck with Galeon’s inventive and playful design ethos on full display. Back here there is an L-shaped transom sofa with an extending table as well as a pair of fold-down bulwarks that transform into floating terraces to add around seven-foot to the beam. Side steps lead down to a full-beam hydraulic swim platform in Permateek, sturdy enough to store a tender, where a stern-side wet-bar with a griddle await.

The sliding glass doors aft of the main-deck salon fully open up to welcome guests indoors, where a sophisticated U-shaped sofa and a love-seat compete for your attention. There’s a range of interior treatments on offer in here including glossy eucalyptus, pale beechwood or dark walnut surrounds, with plush leather-effect upholstery, steel accents and slick mood lighting completing your look. Further forward you can expect a Corian-lined galley kitchen to port with a hob, a sink and refrigeration, while to starboard there is a bench-seat facing a modern non-glare helm station. The dashboard features hi-tech tools like power-assisted steering, a mounted compass, Raymarine display screens, Side Power bow and stern thruster controls, an EVC system, hydraulic Lenco trim-tab switches and an optional Seakeeper stabilizer.

To maximize overnight occupancy on the lower-deck you can opt for a traditional three cabin and two head layout, or to accentuate space and luxury down here you can choose a lavish two stateroom layout with each cabin benefitting from a dedicated en-suite and widescreen hull glazing or oversized skylights. With the latter option you can expect queen-sized beds, side sofas or work-desks and full-height lockers in both staterooms, along with sedate bathrooms that boast walk-in shower cubicles.

Powered by twin 480HP Volvo Penta D6 shaft-drive diesel engines or a pair of 440HP Penta IPS600 pod-drive motors, you can anticipate top speeds of around 28 knots, while at a smooth 23 knot cruising pace you will enjoy a range of up to 240 nautical miles before exhausting the 450-gallon fuel tank.

DESCRIPTION OF GALEON 440 FLY (2014 EDITION)

The Galeon 440 Fly is a 44-foot sports cruiser yacht with a flybridge that was produced by Polish boat-building company Galeon between the years of 2006 and 2014. Galeon brought in naval architect and industry icon Tony Castro to design this yacht, and the vessel features his signature sleek profile, curved super-structure, cresting wave windows and sagacious use of internal space. Details are hand-finished by the Galeon team, and the low-slung flybridge and powerful engines round out this yacht’s appeal as the ultimate mid-sized weekend cruiser: no surprise, then, that it continues to be a popular option to this day on the used and charter markets.

Up on the flybridge you will find a curved, J-shaped sofa surrounding a breakfast table, a rear wet-bar station with a sink and a drinks cooler, as well as a forward sunpad-cocoon with an Ibiza-lounge feel. The starboard helm station, protected from spray by a Venturi-style windscreen, comes fitted with everything needed to command your vessel from an elevated position, and benefits from superb visibility across the bow. Down on the foredeck you will find a double sunpad ideal for hours spent soaking up the summer rays, while to the stern there is a full-beam, teak-lined hydraulic bathing platform that is sturdy enough to host a modern jet-rib. The platform connects to the aft cockpit via a transom gate, and this sheltered space hosts a transom sofa where you can enjoy many an afternoon aperitif in the shade.

A symphony of glazed mahogany and plush leather awaits as you enter into the salon through a rear set of tinted, sliding glass doors. A loveseat to port is joined by a large, U-shaped sofa hugging a timber-lined coffee table. Curved cabinets, stainless steel fixtures, recessed lighting and waist-height electric switches highlight the level of thought that has gone into making this space both comfortable and user-friendly, while an on-deck galley with Corian work surfaces, a combination oven, a two-zone hob, a double-sink and hidden fridge-freezer compartments allows for convenient food prep. The main deck helm comes with Raymarine or Garmin electronics, trim tab and bow thruster controls, power-steering and VHF radio.

On the lower deck there are three spacious cabins for up to six overnight guests, including a pair of aft twin rooms, while a lower head with a circular shower cubicle sits to starboard. Towards the bow there is an en-suite master stateroom with a skylight, a double bed, a twin armchair, a timber-lined hanging closet and plenty of hidden storage.

This yacht comes with either twin Volvo D9 575MHP shaft-drives or a pair of Volvo TAMD75P 480MHP 6-cylinder diesels installed for top speeds of around 31 knots and consistent cruising of 24 knots. At the more leisurely pace of 11 knots, meanwhile, you can expect a horizon-busting range of over 350 miles, more than enough for ambitious island-hopping across the Caribbean.
