Yachting previously wrote: “At first glance, the flybridge dominates this 42-footer’s profile, extending all the way over the aft cockpit, with a sharply angled radar arch that owns the space above the long, dark, juxtaposed windows of the salon and curves of the hull. Every flybridge motoryacht under 60 feet is fighting the same design battle: maximizing the interior space and ambient light without designing topsides that look overly boxy. It’s a challenge to balance form and function, but this Galeon has hit the mark.”
