Galeon 800 FLY Makes European Debut at Cannes 2026

Galeon Yachts has brought the 800 FLY to the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 for its European debut, placing the Polish builder’s flagship at the centre of its Mediterranean show presence. The current 800 FLY is listed by Galeon at 25.71 metres overall and is intended to deliver superyacht-style space and amenities in a comparatively compact flybridge platform.

The September release describes the model as the pinnacle of Galeon’s present range, with a broad social layout, four guest cabins and a separate crew cabin. Its arrival in Cannes gives European visitors a chance to see a yacht that the yard has developed around large outdoor zones, panoramic glazing and a strong connection between the saloon, cockpit and water.

Galeon’s current technical page lists the 800 FLY at 25.71 metres overall with a 5.80-metre beam, while the Cannes release quotes a 5.89-metre beam. Superyacht Guide is using the builder’s current model specification for the yacht profile and retaining the differing press-release figure in the source record rather than treating the two measurements as interchangeable.

A flagship sized around social space

The cockpit is one of the main entertaining areas highlighted for the Cannes debut. Galeon says the dining arrangement uses two tables with seating for up to 12 people, while the hydraulic bathing platform can support tender launch and recovery and also creates a direct connection with the water when lowered.

Above, the flybridge is designed as a second major outdoor living area rather than simply an upper helm. Galeon describes a substantial wet bar, sun loungers, flexible dining space and a forward-facing lounge, allowing the upper deck to serve both navigation and day-long social use.

The foredeck adds another distinct exterior zone, with seating and sunpads separated from the busier cockpit and flybridge. Wide side decks link the different areas, and the current Galeon presentation also emphasises large glass doors and open-plan circulation between the cockpit and the main saloon.

Four guest cabins and a private owner’s suite

Accommodation is arranged around four guest cabins, each with its own en-suite bathroom, with Galeon stating capacity for up to eight overnight guests. The full-beam owner’s suite is positioned amidships and combines a large bed with a walk-in wardrobe, private seating and a substantial bathroom, with separate access intended to strengthen privacy.

A VIP cabin is positioned forward under large overhead glazing, while two further guest cabins sit between the VIP and owner’s suite. Galeon says the two guest cabins use twin beds that can be combined, providing a more flexible arrangement for family cruising or mixed guest parties.

The Cannes release also confirms a separate crew cabin aft, keeping crew circulation away from the principal guest accommodation. Galeon’s published specification identifies the arrangement as four guest cabins plus one crew cabin, although the current European page does not publish a definitive crew-capacity figure for this configuration.

Main-deck living built around light and service

The main deck is arranged as a large social space with panoramic glass surfaces and distinct lounge, dining and service zones. In the Cannes configuration, the saloon includes a relaxation area to starboard, while the port side incorporates a sofa, pop-up television and dedicated bar.

Further forward, the galley is designed to support formal service as well as everyday use, with Galeon describing an open-concept arrangement connected to the dining area. Opposite the galley is a generous dining space, and a two-seat navigation station sits close to the access leading down to the accommodation deck.

The yard’s current model material places particular emphasis on natural light and finish quality, citing extensive glazing together with wood veneers, leather, polished stone and tailored lighting schemes. The approach is intended to make the interior feel closer to a larger custom yacht than a conventional production flybridge boat.

Current specification reaches 31 knots

Galeon’s current European specification lists maximum engine power at two 1,920hp units, equivalent to 1,432kW each, and a top speed of up to 31 knots. The builder’s North American specification identifies the installation as twin MTU diesels driving straight shafts, with bronze propellers and rudders and stainless-steel propeller shafts.

The current model page gives a draft of 1.38 metres, with 1.74 metres shown in brackets for the deeper measurement condition. It also lists fresh-water capacity as 1,000 plus 670 litres, a 420-litre grey-water tank and an 860-litre black-water tank; fuel capacity on the newly updated European page remains marked as to be confirmed.

Earlier Galeon specification material for the same 800 FLY model lists 5,490 litres of fuel and 1,800 litres of fresh water, but the newly revised European specification has changed several measurements. For that reason, Superyacht Guide is not carrying the older fuel figure into the current Fleet record as if it were confirmed for the Cannes yacht.

Cannes debut gives the 800 FLY a European stage

The 800 FLY’s appearance at Cannes is significant because it moves Galeon’s flagship into one of Europe’s most concentrated displays of new production yachts and larger owner-operated craft. The builder is using the festival to position the model as a bridge between high-volume production construction and the scale, privacy and service expectations associated with the lower end of the superyacht market.

At 25.71 metres, the yacht sits just above the 24-metre threshold used by Superyacht Guide for its Fleet coverage. That makes the model relevant not only as Galeon’s flagship but also as an example of how production builders are pushing larger flybridge platforms into dimensions traditionally associated with more bespoke yacht programmes.

The model is designed by Tony Castro, whose relationship with Galeon stretches back more than two decades. Galeon’s current presentation attributes the yacht’s exterior language and overall design concept to Castro, combining a sporty profile with rounded structural details, broad glass areas and the large-volume arrangement that defines the 800 FLY.

A new canonical Galeon 800 FLY Fleet profile has been created alongside this report using the current builder specification and the complete image set supplied with the Cannes release. The profile records the verified dimensions, accommodation, machinery and tank data currently available while preserving source notes where Galeon’s older documents or the September release differ from the latest technical page.
