Positioned at the center of the Galeon Flybridge range, the 520 FLY develops a proven platform into a more polished, owner-focused yacht aimed squarely at the competitive 50-55ft segment.
A cleaner exterior with flybridge-led outdoor living
The exterior design of the Galeon 520 FLY retains the successful proportions of its predecessor, the Galeon 500 Fly, while moving toward a cleaner, more contemporary look. Extensive glazing along the hull sides and superstructure plays a central role in both the yacht’s profile and its internal volume, drawing natural light deep into the interior spaces.
The flybridge is treated as a primary living area rather than a secondary deck. A large aft sofa anchors the space, arranged to support relaxed lounging, informal dining, and uninterrupted sea views. The layout favors openness and comfort over density, making it equally suited to quiet cruising or social use at anchor. The helm is positioned forward to preserve clear sightlines without interrupting the social zones aft.
On the main deck, the cockpit and saloon are designed to function as a cohesive living area. The open-plan galley and dining space sit at the heart of this layout, supported by large windows that maintain a strong visual connection to the water.
Circulation between interior and exterior on board the flybridge yacht is straightforward and intuitive, reinforcing the yacht’s emphasis on usability rather than novelty.
Mediterranean-inspired interiors
The interior of the Galeon 520 FLY is offered in two distinct directions. Owners can select the dedicated Designer Choice interior or opt for the Mediterranean interior package developed with Insitu & Partners. The latter draws on lighter tones and natural finishes associated with relaxed Mediterranean cruising.
Five color palettes are available - Ivory, Pearl, Ocean, Amber, and Terra - each designed to create a distinct onboard atmosphere while maintaining a consistent, contemporary language throughout the yacht. High-gloss lacquered surfaces are paired with refined detailing, premium fabrics, and carefully integrated lighting, resulting in an interior that feels modern but approachable.
Below deck, the 520 FLY accommodates up to six guests across three cabins. The full-beam master suite is located amidships and benefits from a private entrance and ensuite bathroom, delivering a level of separation typically associated with larger yachts. Forward, the VIP cabin offers generous volume and natural light, while the third guest cabin features a sliding bed system that allows it to function as either a double or twin.
Designed for relaxed cruising and social use
With a reported top speed of up to 30 knots, the motor yacht aligns closely with other models in the range, prioritizing predictable handling and relaxed passage-making.
The yacht is configured to host up to 14 people onboard during the day, reinforcing its role as a social platform as much as a private cruiser. A hydraulic aft garage accommodates a tender up to 2.8 meters, keeping water access simple while preserving a clean stern profile and usable cockpit space.
Positioned at the center of Galeon’s flybridge line-up
According to YachtBuyer MarketWatch, the largest yacht database in the world, there are 11 models currently in production within the Galeon Fybridge line-up. The new Galeon 520 FLY now sits clearly between two familiar models that YachtBuyer has reviewed in depth.
Below it, the Galeon 500 Fly established the foundations the 520 builds upon. That model became known for its inventive deck solutions, strong indoor-outdoor connection, and a three-cabin layout that delivered impressive space for a 16-meter yacht. Its focus on sociable deck areas and adaptable living spaces set the tone for the evolution seen in the 520, albeit in a more restrained and refined form.

BOAT TESTGaleon 500 Fly Review (2019 Edition)
Above it, the Galeon 560 Fly represents a step into a larger, more comfort-oriented cruising platform. That yacht introduced increased glazing, improved helm ergonomics, and a calmer interior direction, with a stronger emphasis on extended cruising. In YachtBuyer testing, the 560 Fly scored YB 4.5 stars, narrowly missing the perfect score required for entry into the prestigious YachtBuyer Hall of Fame. It stood out for deck space, build quality, and accommodation, even if its handling favored comfort over engagement.

Positioned between these two, the Galeon 520 FLY draws on the proven ideas of the 500 and the refinement seen in the 560, applying them at a size point that many owners find ideal. It avoids the cost and complexity of the larger yacht while delivering a clear step up in privacy, finish, and overall balance from the smaller platform.
With full details now confirmed, the Galeon 520 FLY emerges as a measured and well-judged addition to the range. Rather than chasing novelty, it focuses on the fundamentals that matter most to owners - space, light, and usability - reinforcing Galeon’s position in the heart of the flybridge market.
