The 2010 was an exceptional year for the Galeon company. We have introduced five new Galeon models (340 Fly, 350 Htc, 385 Hts, 385 Open and 700 Skydeck) as well as eleven new Galia motorboats. In addition we have revised and updated all interior designs to offer nine unique lines complete with an assortment of upholstery, natural woods and a wide choice of tiles and fixtures. All Galeons and Galias are now available in a range of colors, both metallic paint and gelcoat.
Galeon products were appreciated and sought after all around the globe thanks to the growth and expansion of the dealer network. Clients in countries like Switzerland, Turkey, China, South Korea, Australia and The United States of America, to name just a few, are now able to purchase a Galeon yacht and have all the necessary after sales service and assistance required.
The 2010 most desired model was the 340 Fly, thanks to its functionality, attractive design and overall great value for money. The 385 is bound to take its place in 2011, due to its industry-leading solutions in design and equipment. The specious lower deck has two double bedrooms with private bathrooms, custom made skylights and portholes and an overall finish quality found on much bigger vessels.
The garage system comes standard even with the Z- drive and the optional automatic platform can handle up to 400 kilograms of water paraphernalia. The model was recognized and nominated for The European Powerboat of the Year Award by BOOTE magazine.
Many innovations were introduced to the range, most notably:
-advanced garage and platform systems for easy, one man operation fitted on the 385 and 700 models
-retractable salon doors system on the 700, that was designed and manufactured in-house
-a wide selection of engine options from different manufactures including Volvo Penta, MAN, Cummins- Mercruiser, VW Marine, Suzuki and Yamaha
-nine unique design lines with a selection of high quality materials
Technical innovations, improved design and well as the growing dealer network all around the world were among reasons for Galeon’s great success in the passing year. We were particularly proud to have received the awards for the Best Design and Most Innovative yacht by Galeon 700 Skydeck at the Cannes International Boat Show.
The Boot Dusseldorf boat show held in January 2011, gave clear indication that both clients and industry specialists acknowledge and appreciate the direction that the company is heading. We will strive to improve our products and costumer services for years to come.
