Most builders in the 60-to-65-foot flybridge class are competing on the same handful of things. Saloon volume. How much glass is in the hull sides. Whether the hardtop opens. Whether the tender fits in the garage or lives on the platform. It is a crowded, well-understood market and the boats are more alike than the brochures admit.
The Galeon 620 FLY is competing on something else, and it is worth understanding properly before you decide whether it belongs on your list.
Terrace Mode, and why "standard" is the important word
There are two balcony systems on this boat, and both of them are standard equipment.
Beach Mode opens a hydraulic aft balcony on the starboard side, with a sliding openable aft side window and a bar area that converts inside the cockpit.
Terrace Mode folds a pair of hydraulic aft balconies down - and the port one opens off the master cabin, with the starboard side left as space to moor the tender or jet ski.
Read that second one again. The balcony opens off the owner's cabin. Not off the cockpit, not off the saloon - off the master suite, at water level, aft and to port. And it is not on the options list.
The measurable version of that is in the specification. Beam, 16' 10". Maximum beam with opened balconies, 27' 2". A 63' 8" boat with more than ten feet of extra width available at anchor, and the owner's cabin opening directly into it.
That is the boat. Everything below is detail around it.
The hull underneath it
Galeon calls the 620's underbody a wide U-shaped hull, and the argument is the usual one for that shape: interior volume for a given length, and stability at anchor. What is measurable is the volume it produces. Three cabins with three bathrooms is the standard layout, a four-cabin arrangement is optional, and a skipper cabin aft is available on top of that. Sixteen people is the hull's rated accommodation.
The numbers that go with it: 63' 8" length overall, 4' 0" draft, 898 gallons of fuel in two tanks, 185 gallons of fresh water, a 79-gallon grey tank and a 54-gallon black tank. Displacement in light craft condition is 88,926 lbs with base engines, and maximum load is rated at 12,169 lbs. The boat is certified to CE Category B.
The flybridge is where Galeon spends its adjectives, and there is a number behind them - roughly 590 square feet of deck, with a U-shaped sofa, a bar with grill and sink, companion seating beside the helm and a laminated hardtop with a solid roof as standard.
The numbers to pin down before you sign
A few of the 620's published figures - length overall and the balconies-down beam among them - come more than one way in Galeon's own materials, so the dimensions you plan a berth, a lift or an insurance policy around should come off your build contract.
The one that actually matters to a buyer is engine power. Twin Volvo Penta D13-900s are standard, with twin Volvo Penta D13-1000s and twin MAN V8-1200s as options - and the top rating is quoted both as 2 x 1,200 hp and as 2 x 1,000 hp. 200 hp a side is not a rounding difference. It changes the price, it changes the performance, and it changes the resale story.
Put the engine ceiling on your build contract, named and rated, rather than in your memory of a web page.
Performance: what you get, and what you measure yourself
Galeon quotes 31 knots maximum and 23 knots cruise. Read both as the builder's own figures rather than test results: ask for observed burn at cruise in writing, and do the range arithmetic yourself off 898 gallons.
Three decisions that happen at the order desk
Air conditioning. It is an option. The standard generator is a 17.5 kW Onan and it will not run air conditioning. The 27 kW generator is a separate option, and the air conditioning itself comes in 87,000 BTU or 127,000 BTU tropical specification. Three line items, one decision, made early.
Engines and thrusters. A bow thruster with joystick is standard. A stern thruster is not. The MAN three-station joystick control system requires proportional bow and stern thrusters, so choosing MAN power changes your thruster order too.
Layout and galley. Three cabins standard, four optional. Galley aft standard, forward optional - and the galley island is available only with the aft arrangement. The skipper cabin aft brings its own air conditioning as a further option.
Everything else - Seakeeper 10, watermaker at roughly 26 gallons an hour, dishwasher, freezer, wine cooler, washer-dryer, teak in place of the standard Permateek - is optional rather than standard, which is worth knowing when you compare a delivered price against a base one.
Where it sits in the range
Above the 560 FLY, below the 640 FLY, and not straightforwardly the smaller boat. The 640 is about four and a half feet longer and carries more fuel, but its Beach Mode balconies open to 24' 3" where the 620's open to 27' 2". If the balconies are why you are looking at Galeon in the first place, the 620 is the wider boat at anchor.
What I would settle before signing
Get the engine ceiling in writing. Get observed fuel burn at cruise in writing. Get a rigged, loaded weight rather than the light-craft figure. And go stand on the port terrace with the balcony down, because that is what this boat is actually selling, and no amount of paperwork is going to decide it for you.
