2023 Galeon 500 Fly

A low-hours 2023 Galeon 500 Fly is available for immediate purchase in Mandelieu, Côte d'Azur at 990,000 €. One of the most configurable flybridge motoryachts in the 15–17-metre class, the 500 Fly stands out for its three distinct cockpit layout options — a large garage topped by a sun terrace, an L-shaped sofa with crew cabin, or the versatile rotating bench with compact garage — each giving the buyer a materially different liveability proposition from the same hull. With just 190 hours on the twin Volvo Penta D11-670 engines, this 2023 example is effectively a barely run yacht ready for summer handover on the French Riviera.

The design intelligence that distinguishes the 500 Fly from its segment is most apparent in two features. First, the optional beach mode: lowering the two aft bulwarks transforms the cockpit into a 5.80-metre-wide platform with the feel of a much larger vessel. Second, the bow square — a first in this category — converts via an automatic system from a full sunbed to a comfortable lounge at seated height, with an optional bimini overhead. The flybridge extends the social space significantly with a bar, cooking station, large sunbed and a second helm for easy manoeuvring. The hydraulic swim platform handles tenders and water toys, and the current boat is pictured with a Sea-Doo Spark stowed on the platform — demonstrating the practical garage reach.

Power comes from twin Volvo Penta D11-670 engines delivering 670 CV each, logged at 190 hours — well under the typical first-survey threshold for a three-year-old yacht. The 500 Fly accommodates twelve persons underway with a two-cabin, two-head interior layout designed around a full-beam owner's cabin forward and a VIP guest cabin amidships, each with good natural light and standing headroom. The galley is finished in contemporary cabinetry with integrated appliances. All spaces are consistent with the Galeon shipyard's pattern of offering Italian-influenced interiors at Polish production quality and lead times.

The yacht is moored and available for immediate viewing in Mandelieu-la-Napoule, Alpes-Maritimes — a short drive from Nice and Cannes, and within practical delivery range of Monaco, Antibes, and the Italian Riviera. Contact W Yachts Monaco for full specification sheets, survey access, and sea trial arrangements. Price is 990,000 € and the yacht is offered subject to prior sale.
