Captain's Report

Snapshot of Galeon 510 Skydeck

The 510 Skydeck combines the advantages of a flybridge and the sporty lines of a hardtop express cruiser in one attractive yacht. The 510 is fitted with a retracting glass sunroof over the lower helm station plus an aft top deck with sun lounges and second helm station. Three cockpit layouts are available and all allow for the optional beach mode that extend the cockpit beam by 5’ (1.52 m). Stepping inside, immediately to port is the galley and the salon lounges and helm are on the same level. Down below, the master cabin is located amidships and it offers a double berth, large wardrobe and private head. In-deck skylights will dazzle guests with spectacular night views in the bow VIP cabin and the aft guest cabin can be a study, wardrobe or belowdecks leisure area.

Galeon 510 Skydeck beach mode

The most interesting option available on the 510 Skydeck is the optional beach mode with side decks that fold out to widen the beam by 5’ (1.52 m).

Looking at the 510 Skydeck, it would be easy to miss the flybridge, but it’s there with a helm station and sun lounges on each side.

Putting the salon and helm on the same level and adding a large glass sunroof overhead give the 510 Skydeck’s interior a large feel.

The galley is just inside the sliding doors to port, which makes it easy to serve lunch to folks in the aft cockpit or in the salon.
