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.
