We anchored in the bay of Laganas and while we were anchoring, we suddenly heard a puff coming from the water. It turned out to be a sea turtle that swam at the back of the ship and came up for a moment. We were surprised, because we knew that this bay was famous for sea turtles, but we did not expect to see one right away. And it was impressive, because the sea turtle was at least 1 meter long and weighed 80kg, which means that she is certainly more than 50 years old. The sea turtles have become the symbol of Zakynthos, they are called Caretta caretta and can grow up to 1.20 meters and weigh 100 kg. They mainly eat jellyfish, shellfish and seaweed. The breeding season runs from May to August. Females come ashore at night to lay their eggs in holes, after which they cover them with sand. A nest can contain up to 100 eggs. After about 60 days the young turtles hatch. They navigate to the sea by following the moonlight. The caretta caretta is very threatened by pollution, fishing and tourism. We spent 3 days in the bay, saw a sea turtle behind our boat a few times every day, but often 8 tourist boats immediately came to see the turtle very close as it tried to swim to the beach.

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.
