What an absolutely lovely yacht. This video wins the award for most cushions moved and buttons pressed to demonstrate interesting functions. Loved it Nick.
I hate the button pressing and cabinet opening
@@stevefarley1014 Yes, once you've seen one draw open, all the rest sort of lose their excitement 🙂
This is the best looking 50’ yacht I have ever seen. From the garage, swim platform, flip down rails. Just so many brilliant ideas.
I 100% agree
Is it really only 1.2 million?
why dont u buy it u will have fun
@@patrickprendergast9589 it can't be 1.2m.
I may have to.
Because this is Polish yacht
1.2 million for a 50' yacht seems a bit steep, until you realize it's got all the luxury, comfort, styling and accessories of a 65 or 70-footer. Absolutely amazing. Galeon continues to impress. Really glad you were able to get the en suite clip added to the review, Nick, nice save! Great tour as always.
Nothing is cheap at this range but for the money this yacht gives you so much. The innovation is off the charts. What a cracking boat & of course your full tour shows it to it full!
It’s very rare to have a product that can be described as both everything you could ever need as well as everything you could ever want but this boat really achieves that! Magnificent yacht! Great tour as always Nick and I hope everyone has a great week ahead!
Just a bit squishy is all. The 64 is a better size and the front walkthrough is brilliant, but the layout of this 500 can't be beaten. The Galeon 64 in 2020 has a separate guest suite access - which is a waste of valuable space.
I,ve been waiting for this for years!!! I think the layout of Galeon 500fly is the best in the range!!
Hope you enjoy it :)
I would give it 97/100, deduct 1 point for wet head for guest cabins, 1 point for fridge being too small, and 1 point for no rollers/winch to get the tender in the garage. Pretty stupendous overall, all that innovation is actually incredibly useful, not just for show.
Replace wine cooler for another fridge ?
I thought the same on rollers for the tender garage...
I think you forget that it is only a 50 ft boat. For 50 ft, there is a lot going on.
@merc88 Having a 50 ft boat with any tender garage is outstanding, with or without a winch.
Nick, ive just decided that this is my lottery winning boat …..not to big not to small not crazily expensive for a lottery winner and is not to big enough for me to manage. It has all the innovation I need , 3 rooms , lots of entertainment space ,great deck area and suburb hi lo deck ……loving the revolving sofa to. The fly bridge is the best with its hard top ….all in 50 feet….great package ….now all I need now is those 6 numbers …..great video
Phenominal! Absolutely loved the 640 when you did that walkthrough also, Galeon really do give so much for the money when you put them against comparible manufactures in this range, blown away by how much over the norm you get with these, another great walk through Nick!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Is this really only 1.2 million? Surely not brand new?
This boat is exactly what I would want if I had millions to spend. One day... but seriously beautiful and practical boat! I love it
I would go for a sailboat but this is by far the best boat for what you actually do, anchoring and enjoying the view with drinks and food, very well thought trough
@Yerrie I would go for an older boat like Searay 510 from 2016-18. I have a little 22 cabin with a 40 hp Yamaha. It allows me to drive to the harbor, after work. Park my car. And i be fishing in øresund, 10 min later. A thing the sailboat could not do. So i guess it all depends on what you are going to use it for, and how much gold you have lol.
@@VirtanenDK wait 30 years and you can get it for 10% of the new value.
It sure is a beautiful yacht, but for a little less than half the price you get a princess f45 that is only 5 foot shorter and has a little less features.
Nick, I've been watching you for about 2 years now, and this is definitely the best boat I've seen. It's like everything has multiple uses and transforms. Absolutely incredible.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
you know's it's something special when you get a 30+ minute video for a 50 foot boat!!! Absolutely love galeons, so innovative.
I love these - absolute favourite. The only thing that would "niggle" is how good all that motorized moving stuff will be in 20 years of sitting in the weather, and how hard it would be to repair...
It’s just motors and and rams/cables. Not terribly difficult to change out if needed. I think the benefits outweigh the cons
One of the reasons I’m not buying one actually, that and I’ve no money :)
Quite true, but if you have 1.2M to toss out on a toy, maint and repair is probably not an issue.
@@The_Original_Brad_Miller that plus in 20 years some poor broker in Majorca will be working his socks off to get the 4th owner £250k for the boat and the surveyor has a snag list stretching to £20k. 😉
As soon as I see you’ve got a galeon on your channel, it’s hit the play button!!
This company seem to knock the ball out the park with innovation and fulfilling great ideas. Love this boat, having all those features just makes life aboard diverse for just you and the family or friends joining you.
Great tour Nick, almost a kid in a sweet shop with all the buttons to push! 👍🏻
Galleon 500! You've won me! So much boat for the money with loads of innovative ideas. My sole concern with so, so many electrical devices would be to keep everything working. Thanks Nick, I really enjoyed the video.
Me too! Almost every boat I look at I compare to this - it is just fantastic in every way. I've seen bigger more expensive boats that feel cramped in the cockpit, master or fly compared to this. Also I did think about reliability in terms of all the moving parts, but when it comes down to it, it is really just hydraulics and switches, which is tried and tested engineering...... OK I can't afford one but am starting a new business and this is my motivation poster in my office (wish me luck!)
Hi Nick. Over 30 minutes on a 50ft. Easy to see why, so much innovations it's the swiss army knife of yachts, even a waltzer chair. Fantastic tour thanks 😊
As a Swiss citizen i do approve ;)
Ah, a 50-footer... My personal fav in terms of realistic owner/operator size and relatively realistic affordability (for me personally).
Being a retired older guy, I have the luxury of watching (and re-watching) your vids as often as I please. That said - the Galeon 500 has claimed the #1 spot in my heart for my personal favorite!
It would be different if Galeon just added a feature or two that was 'new' to the industry, but NOooo... It seems like Galeon had a catalogue of cool, innovative ideas squirreled away, and they wanted them ALL to shine in this model.
For me, personallly, I knew something was up when you just blew by the Aft Cockpit. Especially when I could see the 'curved portion' of teak beneath the seating, but I'm thinking 'engine access' - at that point!
The aft doors (brilliantly stacked btw) invite us into a beautiful living area, but the port side being opened up grabs one's eye immediately. Then we get to see the operation of the same feature on the starboard side, and our mind is blown (yet again)! It wasn't enough that Galeon created a cozy little spot for two, but the tiny little stainless steel 'support' that drops down (to support the pad below your thighs) is actually VERY ergonomic...! Without it - best you could get would be a place to kind of 'lean against' - not truly sit down to enjoy a cocktail.
The Main Saloon... I just love the soft, creamy colors contrasted by the well-appointed darker wood trim.
Very clever (and stylish) headboard treatment in the VIP Cabin. Galeon's abundance of indirect lighting, coupled with fit & finish that looks hard to beat make this gal a beauty...!
As quirky as it may seem, I think the smartest 'detail' Galeon incorporated is their use of a lighter, contrasting wood at EVERY location you need to put your hand in order to open said drawer, door, or storage area. So simple, yet so damned smart...!!!
The fact that Galeon would spend the money to equip the vessel with a true 'access panel', versus a more typical panel of the same substrate with 2 hinges and a latch slapped on. HUGE indictor of the inherint quality the boat is constructed with.
Door hardware, with no toungue to catch things on, coupled with gasketed doors to each cabin... Now you're just showing off Galeon...!
"Yacht drunk" much Nick 'ol boy...?!? LMAO. We love it when your enthusiasm for a boat causes you to do things like...... miss and ENTIRE friggin' Ensuite...?!? I chortled.
The feature that closed escrow for me is the 'Lazy Susan' Aft Cockpit seating...!!! I'd bet dollars-to-donuts that almost every big-name yacht manufacturer copies this, going forward. Why wouldn't they? Sometimes, you want to 'tie the 2 areas together' (Aft Cockpit & Main Saloon), but more often than not I would have it facing 'backwards' as often as possible!
Absolutely love the Garage...! Looks like a perfect place for 3-4 Seabobs to me (tender 'in tow', jetski on the platform). "Got Toys?" Mic drop.
The nerd in me would have 'receptacle sockets' (or something of the sort) on the Hi-Low platform to allow for seating for 2 with a cocktail table in between.
Drop Balconies... Just soooo cool!
The wind screen... A complex cambered curve, with NO center mullion? That's just sexy right there!
And then there's the 'typical' C-shaped seating area at the bow. Same 'ol, same 'ol, right? WRONG. The backrests 'detach', which is brilliant in and of itself. And the 'side benches' are sloped for sunning? Wait, what? Okay... that's pretty cool right there. "But wait, there's more..." They also slide on tracks to give incredibly flexible means of egress, depending on your particular needs at the time...? My mind is officially blown!
GREAT location for the grill too... No smells of food inundating the boat for HOURS after the meal is long gone.
The Fly Bridge is where I would spend the majority of my time on this beauty. Just perfect.
C'mon Burnham... Tighten up man! (You failed to point out the cool blue LED lights scattered all over the Fly Bridge!)
Yup... she's my Number #1...! Thanks for another brilliant tour Nick.
Nice review, you should start a channel as you're obviously very enthusiastic - I'd watch it!! And I totally agree with you, this is perfect for the owner/operated size. I've watched lots of boat reviews and I compare similar sized boats to this and to be honest most fall short in terms of feeling of space (and actual real space) compared to this - even if they're way more expensive. Sadly I can't afford one yet but am now running my own business and if I ever need some motivation to work harder I watch this vid ;-)
Galleon are finding ways to make their boats more interesting, especially how they transform the interior into an outside space. Brilliant yacht thanks Nick!
The creative uses of space on this boat are really impressive. How many times have we seen the tender garage extend over the engines, leaving about six inches of space. Here, one almost forgets it's there when working below. Just beautiful.
I think that’s your longest tour of a non super yacht to date, yet you didn’t spend too much time in any area (especially the master en suite 😝). Just shows how much it’s got on it and no wonder they’ve been so successful.
Brilliant boat and a relative bargain for all it offers.
Thanks for showing us around Nick 👍
That was a really thorough walkthrough as usual. What a stunning yacht at just 50 ft. Love the quality and layout. Thanks Nick
My pleasure!
Absolutely stunning Yacht from Galeon! The usability and innovation in this yacht is fantastic. It makes its counterparts from Sunseeker and Princess look decidedly old fashioned and out of date! Great videos Nick 👍😎
One of the best designed boats I have seen you review. Love all the extra clever touches they have added.
Halfway through and you'd only just finished the interior. What a spectacular boat, inside and out.
I went through a run of all the Galeons I could find on your channel a while back. This one doesn't disappoint.
Hey Nick - I think that's probably my favourite mid-sized boat I've seen on your channel. Innovation is fantastic on this one - loved the tour, thanks.
I watched the whole thing as if I could afford it.
Me 2😂
You absolutely nailed this review showcasing every detail there possibly is packed into this boat without missing a beat. And this thing is loaded!
Definitely an innovative yacht, very clever how they can change things around..should be a popular choice yacht for the summer. Great in-depth video nick, well done.
This is an excellent boat. If until now I liked in various degrees the motor boats you have shown, this Galleon is in leaps and bounds ahead of them. Every inch of the boat is filled with innovative yet useful features. Simply great.
That is one incredible boat, so well thought out for so many practical areas.
Wow, I love this boat. Ticks all the boxes on my wish list. Thanks Nick.
This has to be my favorite tour! What an incredible use of space and ingenious design and features!
Really, really love this one. Everything Galeon puts into their boats from the wood work to door handles is just beautiful and not to mention top quality. Absolutely nothing to complain about here. This was a great one to watch with Sunday morning coffee on brutally cold morning here in the northeast, US. Thanks as always for sharing, Nick.
Glad you like it!
Only 4 bad things on this beautiful boat. I didn’t like the toilet in the shower, the kids bedroom was VERY SMALL, I didn’t like how narrow the walkway to the front was and I didn’t like the lack of pool in the front. Other than that this boat is amazing, it’s drop dead gorgeous and that garage thing is so clever and cool
Long time watcher of your channel, and this has to be the first time I've said "WoW" at least a dozen times out loud, over this incredible Yacht. Having so many innovations, tuck-aways, "Transformer" seating/spacing/design, just amazing. Between this one and the Pure Electric Silent Catamaran as the "I won the lotto, let's get a boat", it's a tough choice now. Thank you for the Walk-through. You're very informative, mellow voice, and eye for detail is top notch, sir.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am going to join the consensus. Nick, I have been watching you for multiple years and THIS is the COOLEST boat (in my opinion) that you have toured. So insanely versatile and configurable, I am truly blown away. And as always, its great to see you.
So much thought has gone into this boat, it’s amazing. Great review Nick 👍
Impeccable~! It's absolutely gorgeous. Perfect for family and friends for a great weekend. What I like most is the attention to details, the great finishes everywhere and the amount of automation for comfort. Thank you for the video Nick~! :))
The ingenuity in modern yachts over the last five years is amazing. But I think that Galeon has pulled all of it together in this wonderful 50 foot yacht. It reads like a 80 foot! Thank you for a wonderful review!
This is the most versatile boat in this length that I have seen on these channels. So many tech features on this boat love the deck that goes into the water, the tender garage and master bedroom. I could actually see myself on a boat like this.
WOOOOOW! This little yacht was just full of surprises! This tour was amazing! Thank you for being so attentive! 🥰
Absolutely fabulous. This by far is the boat for me. Thanks for a wonderful tour. I don’t think I’ve said WOW so often on a tour. Ps, love the master ensuite. You must have been so excited:)). Thanks again Nick.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This one is Great! It has so many cool features and so many social spaces. The carousel seating in the back was really cool. I imagined my Dad fishing from there. Lol
Stunning, a glimpse of things to come.
Really innovative boat. Amongst my favourites for sure! Thanks Nick
Amazing innovation and a whole load of value for your money. I absolute love the rotating seating in the back. Thanks for showing us, Nick!
Our pleasure!
I think Galeon have manage to pack so much in a 50 footer that even Nick was put to the test on remembering everything! Brilliant yacht tours as always, Aquaholic still Number 1 for the best content on UA-cam.
You're very kind!
Im so impressed with Galeon and their yachts, id love to see more!
Just as I was thinking about the bathroom, that additional video pops in and answers my question. Priceless.
Always liked this boat. Very neat features. All useful not just gimmicks.
Cool video.
Absolutely beautiful. And you're right- the level of inventiveness is quite astonishing. A layout for all occasions. Those fold down balconies and window openings are a particularly nice touch. You really do have to continually remind yourself that it's a 50' boat. Nice catch with the owner's cabin en-suite. But you also missed the footage of you measuring the stern to calculate what size font you could use to fit in SMUGGLER'S BLUES III.
Extraordinary yacht! Great tour, Nick!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I. LOOOOOVE THIS BOAT. So many fantastic ideas that I've never seen on boats many times more expensive. With so many cool things to show, it's understandable that one bathroom is missed 😀
There's so much about this boat i love. Thanks Nick
I cannot praise that boat highly enough. The thought about the layout, the quality of materials and the drop down sides for the saloon are just amazing.
I hope that Galeon have every success with that boat.
Nick - thank you for another amazing walkthrough.
I keep saying wow throughout this video. The engineering is incredibly. I watch a lot of high end Motor-coach videos and compared to them Im surprised this yacht is not much more that $1.2 million. So beautiful and functional.
I've watched a few dozen of your videos over the past week and this is by far the best boat you've looked at, considering price and all. There's nothing this boat doesn't have. Well done as always!
WOW! I love it. I LOVE it! I LOVE IT!!! They used every innovation they could and invented more. Now when I dream and search for older boats I'll be looking at the Galeons first. Those drop down balconies looked nice on massive mega yachts but they are REALLY valuable on smaller boats. Innovation rolls down hill as well as other things it appears. Did I mention... I LOVE IT?!!
I love this one. Beautifully done.
Thanks Nick, think you've just shown us an addition to my "if only" boat shortlist. So many times thought why can't a 50ish fly have a garage, you'd have to have a sports style with sunpad, this you get fly, garage and sunpad or rear sofa, same as the 640, I love that front door.
brilliant! what a great boat! has everything you would need, thanks nick!
I am absolutly in Love! THX so much for this Impression!!!
You are so welcome!
Cheers Nick, great tour. I think this is the best boat I've ever seen.
Glad you enjoyed it
That’s a really impressive yacht great tour Nick
A beautiful boat! Thanks for the tour.
Hi Nick, What a show you bring us this Sunday with this Galeon 500 and how many new innovations you can put in one Yacht its almost a super yacht but in a 50 foot boat wauw. The folding side decks those sliding big windows on the side the turning copit bench and table in one, the siting area in the bow its almost to much to see. Thank you Nick for this great show I am imprest by all of this
What a beautiful and innovative boat, thank you Nick
My pleasure!
GALEON turns to be my favourite yacht brand. Compact construction and relatively affordable prices given the quality, spaces and gadgets they provide.
Wel-played Galeon, well-played
What a fantastic boat. The best I have seen yet in this size. So many features it is incredible
That has to be 'thee' nicest yacht I have seen.....Fabulous, and so well thought out.....Well done Galeon, superb.
A lot of boat for 50’. Like rotating captain chair, rear lounge rotator etc woodwork is deluxe
Plus lots of power to boot!
Thank you Nick for the in depth tour
My pleasure 🙂
Hi Nick. You were like a kid in a sweet shop with this one!!! Not seen you this animated for a long time 😎 A great value boat for the price. Nice retro high gloss woodwork too. Now there is a BUT coming 🙄 all that innovative gizmos has the disadvantage of breaking down and if offshore then,......😠. In spite of it being a rear deck level galley if the lottery came up I would splash out on it. Cheers DougT
Ha great minds think alike!
@@DrCrabfingers and just think in a busy marina/port you would need a premium with berth to use those drop down balconies 😬 but for the price its a good value boat.
Absolutely fantastic design, engineering and workmanship!
Thoughtful! Balanced! Superb!
I can't get enough of this boat - it's absolutely beautifully made, looks the business and delivers such practicaility and innovation for a boat of any size let alone a 50-footer! The thought that's gone into the design is remarkable with such clever use of space, and not just in one area (eg. the fold-out sidedecks) but everywhere on the boat. I particulalrly love the rotating seating in the cockpit - wow!! I really appreciate such clever design and it's all carried off here without a hint of pretentiousness as it's all practical and there to make the boat as usable and enjoyable as possible. Atotal winner in my books; love it!! Thanx Nick!
Great Vlog 👍 and really stunning boat with a lot of amazing features that you would expect to be saved for a larger boat!
Remarkable innovations to give the most out of space! As always, love the reviews.
Thank you kindly!
Love every bit of this! Such thoughtful design to maximize the space! Love all the options!
Thank you for sharing! Such a smart boat with so many really well thought out features. Usability off the charts. Hard to beat this boat. Others have a l
ot of catch up to play.
Gorgeous yacht. They make the most of every inch (centimeter) on this yacht. And the “tour guide” video host does an excellent job, having researched the yacht before making the video, even the cool bits like the door handle assembly. He obviously has a technical mind, like an engineer. He strikes me as a very friendly, and affable.
Only been watching for the past year and this is my favourite boat. I’ve always thought you would need to spend several millions to get this level of innovation. I think a lot, if not all, of the larger boat builders need to take note of the designers at Galeon. Nick thank you for the tour 😃
My pleasure 🙂
WOW .. well just WOW , so many toys to play with and to show off to friends and family , I don't think I would ever get tired of this yacht . Amazing boat , certainly a show piece of the building craft and innovation. Thanks for the video .
Nick, this is Beautiful , one of the best i have seen for along time.
I love Galeon design and innovations. This is the best 50 foot yacht I have seen. It has a lot of the features found on the 640 fly which is amazing. I love the rear garage and seating setup. So cool ! Lovely cabins. If I could not afford the 640 fly, I would consider this. Thank you Nick for the brilliant as always tour ! 😊 (Michael Punch)
We love u.1.5.
Thrusters operated with a remote?! What a great innovation. And that boat is full of them. You were right, Nick. There is a lot to see.
Beautifully considered, thoroughly versatile, expertly finished. This is by far the best boat you've covered as it ticks so many boxes and is tremendous value.
fantastic video as always. Best and most thoughtout yacht so far.
A lot of boat for the money. Has to be one of the most feature rich yachts for the money. Thank you for reviewing this boat. A potential option in the future for sure.
What an incredible yacht, so imaginative and well thought out and great use of space. The designers are on another level, love all the finishes and colours. Nice to see a high low platform in use, a brilliant tour many thanks Nick.
Fantastic amount of innovation built into this beautiful yacht, you seemingly get quite a lot for your money. Another really through enjoyable review Nick
I now have another new favourite boat! Thanks Nick, Fantastic tour
My pleasure!
I've seen all of your boat tours from day one but I've not seen a boat to top this regardless of size, so many clever ideas and the quality comes across in your video. No doubt the one or two things I'd suggest as changes would be covered by options. You could have done your customary wave to camera in the woodwork too 😉
Prefect size for my wife and I. That third bunk I would try to make that a bigger bathroom for the VIP room. Thanks Nick...so many choices to make for my next yacht.
Brilliant video Nick, brilliant boat as well! I'd say that's my fave. Unbelievable functionality for a 50ft boat. Quality seems to be up there with the best too. 👌
Also your video walk through of this amazing craft is the best one I've watched. 👍🏼
I've just fallen in love with the versatility and customization of Galeon boats
Very smart design, especially with the helm seating able to swivel into the dinning/living-room area. And for such a small MY the engine room and garage play very well together. For a few seconds I was looking forward to mentioning your master head faux pas, merci Approved Boats… Brilliant show love the exuberance Nick. Have a great week.
Thank you for this Tour! I enjoy seeing the new boats and designs you share. This is the first I’ve seen this boat and after watching I couldn’t help but do some research into the 500 and it’s options. It’s absolutely amazing what you get for the price!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nick thank you sir and I hope you enjoyed showing this as much as I enjoyed watching it!
compare this to other 50' boats and nothing comes close in terms of features, tech and luxury for the money
All of this on a 50-foot boat - incredible. Though the lengths Nick will go to just to avoid the mirror-wave and disrupt our Aquaholic Bingo game never ceases to amaze. Simply impressive boat, inside and out.
Galeon is really good at making yachts that where the novelty just never seems to tire out, don't they? As usual, thanks for the tour, Nick!
(Also, nice rescue, Approved Boats!)
:) I second that, Approved Boats! (Nice remark, Kelvin!)
Simply astounding! I would never leave this boat.
What a fantastic boat Nick thanks for the tour.
