The 25.35-metre Galeon 800 FLY remains the largest yacht in the builder's current flybridge range, with twin MTU power and a published 30-knot maximum speed.

Galeon's 25.35-metre 800 FLY remains the flagship of the Polish builder's current flybridge range, combining Tony Castro design with a four-generation manufacturing platform. The model is listed with a 5.8-metre beam, twin MTU engines rated at 1,920 horsepower each, a 25-knot cruising speed and a published maximum of 30 knots.

The model crosses into the 25-metre class

At 25.35 metres overall, the 800 FLY sits just above the 24-metre threshold commonly used to separate large production yachts from the superyacht sector. Its hull length is listed at 23.7 metres, illustrating why overall length and regulatory measurement can produce different classifications for the same vessel.

The 5.8-metre beam and substantial loaded displacement allow Galeon to create interior and exterior spaces more usually associated with larger yachts. Buyers still need to review the vessel's actual flag, certification and tonnage basis rather than relying only on marketing length when considering operating requirements.

Twin MTU engines provide the performance package

Galeon's current specification lists twin MTU engines producing 1,920 horsepower apiece, with a cruising speed of 25 knots and an estimated maximum speed of 30 knots. Fuel capacity is approximately 5,490 litres, reflecting a design brief aimed at fast coastal cruising rather than transoceanic autonomy.

The builder explicitly notes that published performance can change with loading, water conditions, maintenance and operating location. The figures should therefore be treated as specification estimates, while a purchaser would use sea trials and the selected final equipment package to assess real-world performance.

Flybridge volume drives the onboard layout

The 800 FLY is designed around a large upper deck and broad exterior entertaining areas, using the beam to create multiple social zones across the yacht. This helps the model deliver the feeling of a larger vessel without moving into the much heavier displacement platforms common above 30 metres.

Tony Castro's exterior design balances the high-volume flybridge arrangement with a relatively sporty profile. The result is a yacht aimed at owners who want substantial guest space and long days outdoors while retaining the handling and performance characteristics of a fast production motor yacht.

The 800 FLY remains Galeon's range leader

Galeon's current flybridge range still lists the 800 FLY as its largest model, above the 680 FLY and smaller series. That makes it the reference point for the builder's highest-volume flybridge design and its most direct offering to buyers shopping around the 25-metre segment.

The model is no longer a new launch, so the relevant point is its continuing place in the current production range rather than a fresh debut. Specifications and standard equipment can evolve between model years, making the latest builder documentation and individual build contract the controlling references for a purchase.
