Alexander Marine as exclusive importers of Galeon Yachts are pleased to present the Galeon 435 GTO model to the Australian and New Zealand market. The 435 GTO is the latest and largest addition to the powerful lineup of Galeon Yachts outboard powered models, with its sleek contours and versatile space distribution on board, bound to stand out in any marina. The silhouette is a clear evolution of the acclaimed 375 GTO with even more aggressive lines and eye-catching details fitted onto the two-tone exterior. The striking side profile features full-length hull windows and partially glazed fold-down balconies, while the wheelhouse is surrounded by glass for unobstructed, 360 degree views. Galeon Yachts are famous for introducing the Beach Mode to a wider audience, with deployable port and starboard balconies that extend the width of the cockpit significantly to provide additional space for activities and entertaining guests on board. Another unique feature comes in the form of folding glass doors dividing the cockpit to allow full climate control and added security in the wheelhouse. The main deck includes the port side wetbar, a U-shaped dinette and three independent sport helm seats. Both side windows can be lowered into the hull - a marvel of engineering considering their size and location. An oversized, tinted sunroof comes in two pieces and can be retracted at a moment's notice. Down below, a well appointed galley area holds generous storage and offers standing height with easy access to both guest cabins. Opposite the galley, the head comes fitted with upscale cabinetry and a walk-in shower to keep things tidy and organised. The master cabin is in the bow and equipped with a double bed and a plethora of storage areas. The interior is well-lit thanks to the oversized windows, ceiling skylight and dispersed LED illumination. Quality and finish are typical Galeon's superb standards with sophisticated and curved woodwork, stainless steel details and a variety of custom options to choose from. The guest cabin is located midships and features a double and single bed. The full-sized doors allow for easy access during the day and privacy by night for your guests. The portside flush floor design allows easy walkthrough access from the helm to the wide bow, where a seating arrangement with a table or a complete sunpad awaits. The front bench is set in a reclined position with sporty headrests and stylish, two-tone quilted upholstery. To minimize rocking motion from waves, swell, and wake, the Galeon 435 GTO can be optioned with a gyroscopic stabiliser. Powering the vessel are triple Mercury Verado outboard engines with various horsepower options. With top performance, striking design and upscale quality the 435 GTO is a worthy addition to the Galeon Yachts lineup, far exceeding the expectations for this class of vessel.

I’m Kayleigh, this is James — and this is our sailboat Mon Ami, a 41-foot Jeanneau Sun Legende from 1987. But how exactly did we end up here? Well, we met back in 2020 — just weeks before the world went crazy during the pandemic. So, instead of being locked down, we jumped in our four-wheel drives and drove across the country. First stop: the infamous Telegraph Track on the Cape York peninsula. From there, we continued west through sand, dirt, and endless corrugations — camping under the stars in the Northern Territory, dreaming about what big adventure we could go on next. And that’s where we first spoke about buying a sailboat. As we drove on, we had mud spas, surfed with new friends, and eventually crossed into Western Australia — ending up in Exmouth, the place that became our home for nearly three years. We settled in, found jobs and the dream of owning a boat finally started to become real. So with this goal in mind, we worked as much as we could and even spent a whole year living in a swag, which we called rent-free 2023. James — or Gibbo — was working as a deckhand on the whale shark boats, later moving to the tugs, while I worked as a sea kayak guide. We were both pulling 12-hour days for weeks at a time, saving every dollar we could. In between our work, we even managed to afford a budget holiday to new Zealand where we cycled our bikes across the entire country and lived in our tent - but that’s a story for another day. We started to look at yachts online and noticed there wasn’t a huge variety in WA. So we packed up once again (minus the Suzuki) and drove 6,000 kilometres back to Queensland — across the vast Nullarbor Plain, where we broke down, ate many jaffles, and even picked up a joey along the way - another reminder to always check the pouch! After looking at a few fixer-uppers, we finally saw a listing for Mon Ami.. and well, the rest is history.. We spent our first few months sailing around Moreton Bay, learning the ropes — literally — and getting to know our new boat. But it wasn’t all smooth sailing: we found diesel bug cappuccino, leaking hatches, and a badly corroded rudder post that forced a haul-out. As new boat owners, this wasn’t exactly how we wanted to spend our time. We fixed, polished and anti fouled the boat before, quitting our jobs and moving aboard full time in April. It’s now the end of September — and we’ve sailed nearly 2,000 nautical miles along the Queensland coast. Along the way, we’ve welcomed friends aboard, explored remote reefs, and sailed alongside giants. It’s been a pretty wild ride — with some of the best moments, and some of the toughest. But the journey’s not over yet - and we’d love to take you along for the rest of this adventure… and every one after that.
