Alexander Marine as exclusive importers of Galeon Yachts are pleased to present the Galeon 560 FLY to the Australian and New Zealand market. The 560 FLY grabs your attention with lines that showcase a wide beam that carries well forward giving this vessel a substantial presence. It's a design choice that allows for unmatched interior volume, particularly on the accommodation level. Step onboard via the teak laid hi/lo swim platform which features ladder access with steps that drop down into the water as the hydraulic swim platform descends, making it easily accessible for all ages. It provides a space for your tender and a flip-down bench on the transom providing a comfortable spot to enjoy the view. Step access up to the cockpit is via the port side, maximizing space for the L-shaped seating around the alfresco dining table. Galeon Yachts are renowned for their innovative Beach Mode, which features a deployable balcony to port that extends the cockpit. The fold-out balconies features glazing so guests can see the water below their feet and railings for added safety. The sliding doors to port and starboard allow for a pop-up extended galley counter and an extended saloon side table and settee creating additional dinettes. The layout includes a practical aft galley to port with a large sink, induction cooktop, microwave, upright refrigerator/freezer and ample storage. Forward of the galley, the spacious saloon features a U-shaped upholstered lounge to port set around a height adjustable table with extra seating to starboard complemented with an abundance of natural light, thanks to the large windows. The interior exudes luxury with its textures and timber veneers, creating a bright and open atmosphere. The helm station to starboard offers excellent visibility and is equipped with Raymarine electronics. The pilothouse door provides ease of access out onto the side deck and allows for ventilation. Down below, the Galeon 560 FLY offers a three guest cabin accommodation layout. The forward VIP features a queen centreline bed and private ensuite and benefits from the shovel-nose design, offering extra volume and headroom. The owner's midship cabin features an island queen bed, luxurious materials, a spacious layout and a well-appointed ensuite bathroom. The twin guest cabin to starboard features side-by-side single beds. Back at the hi/lo swim platform, the optional crew cabin can be accessed via the transom and is surprisingly spacious, with air conditioning, a worktop, a sink, and two berths. The separate bathroom includes an optional washer and dryer. Moving up to the flybridge via the set of stairs from the cockpit, guests are treated to a great view and easy access to various amenities featuring a wet bar with a fridge, sun lounges and two U-shaped seating areas with extendable tables that can join together. The upper helm on the flybridge reflects the same lower helm Raymarine electronics while the flybridge helm seat rotates to provide access to the dining table, accommodating a large number of guests all under the hardtop for weather protection. The bow can be accessed via each side deck or out of the saloon via the helm pilothouse door. The bow features an expansive sunpad with adjustable backrests, providing comfortable seating for catching some rays. To minimize rocking motion from waves, swell, and wake, the Galeon 560 FLY can be optioned with a Seakeeper 9 Gyro stabiliser. Powering the vessel are twin Volvo Penta diesel engines of various horsepower options. The Galeon 560 FLY combines modern design, practical features, and luxurious comfort. It continues to push the boundaries of what can be achieved in a mid-50-foot Flybridge yacht. Please note: Alexander Marine is the official Galeon Yachts dealer for Australia and New Zealand.

A 4 night minimum stay including at least the Dutch or Coco Bandero cays is highly recommended. Shorter 2 or 3 nights stays can be an excellent experience if your catamaran and crew are up to the standards we have commented in other posts. With Panama being the most important business hub in Latin America and an important travel destination with many other locations worth visiting, such as Boquete, Bocas del Toro and interesting attractions spread throughout the whole territory, it is at times difficult for travelers to focus in only one region for more than a couple of nights. Choose only the best San Blas sailing company and catamarans Renting a catamaran in the San Blas islands for a couple of nights is a great way to broaden your horizons, but be careful, if you limit the nights and go too fast from anchorage to anchorage, from island to island, you will definitely miss the real magic of the Guna Yala region and their ancestral culture. Pay attention, sit still and you may watch a turtle popping up not far from you, a manta ray swim underneath the catamaran or a tropical bird pass in front. Be loud, rush and none of that will happen! Abundant marine life is just there and will show if you take it easy How many days should you stay in San Blas? 4 nights as mentioned above is the minimum recommended and enough time to at least see at a good pace, the most beautiful parts of San Blas, Dutch Cays and Coco Bandero Cays. Following is a list of recommendations depending on the nights you choose: * 2 night charter with road transfer - Do not attempt to come only 2 nights and use the road, you will be "stuck" in your road transfer for a minimum of 8 hours from our perspective, it is totally not worth it. You have been warned. * 2 night charter with flight transfer - Makes sense for a celebration like a birthday or completion of business goal. Also if you really do not have any extra time on your hands and absolutely need to charter a catamaran in the San Blas * 3 night charter with road transfer - This option includes Cayo limon and basically go through all the islands we have taken off the list of our recommended spots. Still, choose this if you need to keep your transfer costs down. * 3 night charter with flight transfer -Things here start to make a bit more sense: you will be able to see Cayo Coco Bandero along with Cambombia and other amazing spots of the archipelago and pristine Caribbean sailing destinations * 5 night charter with road transfer- Dutch Cays, the Pool and BBQ islands at your reach, the amazing San Blas opens up to you * 5 night charter with flight transfer - Fly in and you will see both Cayo Coco Bandero and Cayos Holandeses * 7 night charter with road transfer - Multiple islands in the cays, experiences and time to blend with the environment and culture * 7 night charter with flight transfer- Total disconnection from the busy world, an immersion in Paradise Whatever itinerary you choose for sailing the San Blas islands, we will make sure you make the most of if.
