My first thought was: for this money, I can get more boat by following some of your other reviews. As you worked your way around, I could see where the value is; what fine finishes there are; the level of fittings and equipment. Even the heads are good-sized and welcoming! Galleon has done something fine here!
Constently amazes me how much these designers can queeze into such a small boat. Love this one, like a floating camper van. Thanks Nick, another winner
Over the years that I've been involved with boats there have been some quantum changes involving the technology of building, powering and driving/navigating them, but the biggest change I've noticed in recent times is the vast improvement in the space usage. Some of this has been assisted by new and improved materials (lighting is a big example), but a lot has been designers just getting smarter and more innovative. This Galeon is a prime example of designer smarts and they've built a beautiful boat. Thanks as always Nick for the detailed tour.
@Christhorpe Junction Wow, you open up a huge area of discussion, and although I have my opinions, I'm not an expert in this area and I'm sure Nick would have a lot of thoughts and input as well. BUT, since you asked, in the short term, electric power is going to have to be only part of a power system. Hybrid systems are likely to involve diesel motors running at optimum speed powering electric drives through batteries/solar panels etc. I see the move being initially towards making the most efficient use of power sources available in combination. The growth in storage capability of batteries (Tesla being a prime example) is going to be key to a longer term transformation.
Hello David My father and grandfather always loved the water... I am a recent convert... To add to your list above two 'recent' changes I see in boating generally... bigger glass panels look so nice and simple hardware made... more clever and more useful... not sure I even make sense.
This might be one of the coolest and at the same time smartest boats in that weekender class that I ever saw!!! I'm totally in Love! Just wish it would be half that price :'(
Thanks Nick, and a suggestion for you: We seem to be seeing more and more outboard power trains on higher end boats. These outboards are apparently far more sophisticated and reliable than in years past. You might find it of high interest to do a future boat walk around where some time is spent discussing this 'new' kind of technology.
More sophisticated, sure, that could be argued. More reliable? Dont know about that... Outboards have mostly been very reliable since "forever". Dont really see anything "new" about the technology in them, except for stuff like that integration that makes the joystick control availible, but you can get inboards with that as well.
@@GoldenCroc Some of us are older than "forever" and remember the times of two-stroke, carbureted outboards that were exceedingly temperamental. That being said, I've hardly been aboard an outboard-powered boat since the 1970s. I had a couple short rides on more modern ones on a trip a few years ago, but I was too busy sight-seeing to pay much attention. They started, ran, and got us where we needed to go, so I guess I can't complain.
@@BillWalkerSD Nothing wrong about being old, thats all well and good. I am not some teenager myself, not by a long shot. Problem is, there is a often a tendency tendency to "compress" years as you get older. I.e words like "recently" often becomes 40 years or so in the past. Even the ones saying that is "recently" themselves would agree that is not really the case by any reasonable definition in many areas. In the case of the YOUR reply, here is what I think: Machines need servicing with proper parts, fuel and oil. Smaller, lower value machines are less likely to get it, that much is clear. How many people service their lawn mower regularly? Not a big percentage, let me assure you of that. Outboards, especially smaller ones, fall into the same category. A 4hp outboard on a 12 foot boat is extremely unlikely to get proper servicing, epecially as it gets older. Inboards on the other hand, have higher value and is more likely to be mounted in larger boats. These boats are in turn more likely to be owned by higher income people, that can afford to service regularly, at least once a year when the boat is pulled out of the water and winterized. No such need with a trailered boat. Most people dont winterize their outboards, since they get rid of their own coolant and wont freeze and crack the engine block. The temperamental outboards you experienced likely got gummed up carburators because of bad/no servicing and bad oils. Still, they werent the best in many cases, but not much worse than anything else of the era IF proper servicing/fuel/oil is given. However, since the late 1970s with electronic ignition, they are very reliable with proper servicing, on par with what an inboard gets. I would say perhaps even more so than a inboard 4 stroke gas engine such as the common mercruisers, since there is less to break. I have owned a lot of old outboards, and still do. Some I still own are as old as very early 1980s. I service them myself, and they go perfectly and with the same power as when they were new, some 40 years later. As for bias, I will say I also own inboard boats, and in many ways prefer inboards since they make the boat look "cleaner", with a lower rear possible. I will always prefer an inboard if possible, for this reason. So thats the overarching deal: With similar servicing to inboards, outboards havent been close to what one even with a stretch might reasonably call "unreliable" in at least 40-some years. (I would say longer than that, more like 50+ years, but ok) That is hardly recent news when it comes to vehicles, wouldnt you agree? We are at over 15 years of fuel injected outboards being common, which are even easier, no need to even flush the carbs of old fuel. Evinrude E-tec motors doesnt strictly even have a yearly servicing need, putting it at less servicing needed than any inboard. 15+ years is also hardly news in my book. Anyway, those are my opinions and experiences, everyone is of course free to have their own. But I like to think my experience in this field counts for something. Cheers mate.
I'm in my mid 30s and even I remember some of the dodgy outboards of the past. We used to have a tender with a Mercury 30hp engine on it which was nicknamed Dead Fred (Mercury) as it spent most of its life needing repaired.
Take a look around: There are 300K+ pound outboard-powered boats being built. Nick keeps pointing out the engine management displays at the helm that tie back to these modern tickers. Joysticks at the helm use them. Clearly they are now digitally based; clearly they are also massively expensive. Builders will tell you they are highly reliable, claiming they are close to shaft-driven diesels. Whatever your opinion of them, it would be a treat for Nick to present some of the details.
A place I used to work used to send ew apprenticeship out to buy Skyooks, or to get a long weight (I.e. keep them around waiting for a long wait), But that stopped after one apprentice actually found a Skyhook and brought one back. It wasn't cheap either. 🙂
Gaelon keeps impressing with their innovations. Even with their smaller boats. There's so much boat here! That fold down balcony; I'm pretty sure not many competitors have this on their smaller series. Just brilliant.
Excellent little boat, very ingeniously designed. I must say the idea of twin outboards seems to give so much more space, plus it’s got to be better to have the drives clear of the water, especially if it’s salt water, easier maintenance and so much more comfortable to work on. Surely, this has got to be the future, especially now Mercury are doing huge, powerful and quiet outboards. Galeon always make the most of the available space, I love it. Thanks, Nick. 👍😊
That is just a beautiful yacht, great use of space and lovely finishes. It has everything you need for great days out. Many thanks for a great tour Nick.
This would be the perfect boat for where I live in South West Florida. The outboards mean you can beach it, and they can be lifted so that they don’t get fouled when its sitting in the marina. I would prefer an open version, but if I had the funds this would be my next boat. Thank you for an excellent tour NIck!
Fantastic use of space on what is essentially still a pretty short boat. Never been a fan of outboards (even though I understand their merits) but when hidden by a sun bed that really changes things! Thanks so much for showing us this one!
I REALLY like this one. Would be absolutely perfect for summers on the great lakes where I live. I especially like the sun bed over the outboards simply because I bet it really cuts down on engine noise when you're cruising. Always surprises me how much they fit inside these bow rider style boats as well. Walking up to it from the outside you would never guess it full accommodation inside.
Every time I watch these videos I’m always more interested in the multi-million pound yachts, the big beasties with a ridiculous amount of luxury. If your going to dream you might as well dream big. But this Galeon is absolutely beautiful, I can imagine having have as much fun on that, as much a sense of enjoyment and privilege as I could on the bigger boats you feature here. It’s absolutely beautiful that yacht
Great video Nick. I keep wondering how many smart details they can come up with on the smaller boats. One really has to be innovative as a boat designer
Not my type of boat Nick, but probably the most imaginative use of space I have seen. Sadly the imagination ran-out with the cheap looking snap-on canvas black-out blinds.....tacky for a £300k+ vessel!
2 x 350hp outboards, hmmm, no wonder the fuel tank's so big. That aside it looks like a nice design but not sure I would want the running costs of those petrol engines, especially at todays prices.
Nice to have fade-proof decking everywhere - saves oiling it every year. However, I’d rather have a proper hob than a BBQ grill. Is that something you can specify when it’s built?
That is not a boat it’s your own private desert island. What a very clever package, absolutely brilliant. Ps amazing they left the bottle of fizz and glasses on board, somebody could easily have knocked them over 😂
I always love Galeons, excellent quality, amazing innovation and I would expect a great deal of customisation available! Thanks for sharing this one, I like your boat!
What a fantastic little boat. I would love one of these. Great weekend away, couple of nights on board then head home. The use of space is just brilliant. Feels way bigger than 32ft. The wave in the mirror was the icing on the cake. Thank you so much Nick for sharing this little beauty with us
... could easily see myself spend a week or two on this little beauty. Install a little freezer and stock up on what else you need to stay away ... :-)
I love when you tour Galeon boats, Nick. They are always beautiful, cheerfully-designed, and I love the gadgets that allow for so much more out of the same space. It's hard to believe there is this much designed intentionally into a 32 ft. boat! Floating party island, indeed! So would this be on your list for a possible Smuggler's Blues 3?
What magnificent use of space. The double bed under the stairs is a great idea. I like the squared off bow too as it makes the space very useable. With those outboards it should have a fair old pace to it too. Excellent little boat
I was looking at a Fairline Squadron 50 (early one) but calculating the cost of fuel made my eyes water. The fuel tank is 1860 litres (491 US gallons) which I think gives a range of about 800 nm but the cost ! Little change from £3,500 ! Could be more with ever rising fuel prices. After paying for a berth, maintenance, insurance and perhaps some occasional crew there is no money left to go anywhere !!! Did I get the calculations correct ?
I'm really taken with this boat, a ton of clever thinking went into this. This is the perfect weekender for a couple and a brilliant day boat as well. Thanks as always for the great tour Nick.
Would like to see the GTO 375. Nicer lines. Sunroof with extended roof black glass looks good. Black glass side windows that go all the way down. And maybe biggest selling points, it has side balconies on both sides and if want speed, a choice of having 3 engines with total HP of 1350 so talking 45 knots apparently.
Aloha; BRILLIANT boat and FANTASTIC review as ever. Mahalo for answering the question of how to keep toilet paper dry - on the back of my mind too. Mahalo
Hi Nick I’m 15 and discorverd your Chanel 3 days ago and nearly watched everything...I’m 16 and really want a boat is that to young? Do I have to spend £30,000 on a boat.
I really starting to love the galeon boats. I love the outside areas on them. And the fact that you can go through instead of around them to get on the front, even the bigger ones.
Very close, both cracking boats, prefer the fore deck and lower deck on the Galeon, but I tend to agree, I'd probably go for the 32GT for the inboard motors, wider cabin and separate shower stall. (Or in an ideal world I'd save a bit more and have a Galeon 400 Fly).
Many purpose built boats are single duty - fishing boats for fishing, dive boats for SCUBA, etc. While being quite efficient at their designed task, that's it, really. But this is a floating FUN platform. And as such it only offers good times in the water - brilliant. My one concern is covering the outboards will make it tedious to gain access to each motor's starter rope. Oh well, small inconvenience for an otherwise "perfect" FUN BOAT. This will be an easy craft to share with family, friends and neighbors. Thanks, Nick and good on ya Galeon.
I absolutely love Galeons design and innovation. This is a really practical boat for the money. If I can’t afford the Numarine 37XP or the Galeon 640 fly, then this would be a real contender 😊. Thanks as always Nick (Michael Punch)
Plenty of innovations on this daytime boat, that drop down platform and the drop-down or up wheel is very good. Love the skyhook stop and you don't move. Very clever. To me where Galeon goes, other boat designers will follow. Over the years as I look at your videos I've noticed how much boats and their electronics have changed and developed. Clever use of space. Fascinating. Thanks Nick.
Whoa.. I never really like Galeon much. But this baby is the cat's meow.. Perfect for river running out here.. Though our big ole river has some real narrow channels and commercial barges so AIS is a respectful must.. thanks Nick.. this is a good un..
I was filming something on my camera just the other day, passed a mirror, and unconsiously found myself doing the Nick Burnham Wave... Does anyone else suffer from this? 😀
Ooo I say there's another one for the lotto list. Only thing I would design wise would be to have a sliding roof of some sort above the helm,but that's just me being picky. Cracking boat and tour as always Nick.
Hi Nick. An awesome boat. Like the flexi teak deck. A party boat very popular in the US and Captain Steve from boattest is in the UK. Great walkthrough tour thanks 😊 ps. Seen you on a Tema marine electric video. Are you getting commission celebrity. Anyway, look forward to seeing the next one.
Wow, talk about packing 5 Galions of ship in a 1 Galion container!! 😂 Awesome boat, Nick (one might be tempted to become a “smuggler” with one of these!!) 🤨
Galeon quality at its best. This has everything for a great weekend on the water. Enjoy your Sunday on the water! Thanks for sharing Nick.
Best for the money too
My first thought was: for this money, I can get more boat by following some of your other reviews. As you worked your way around, I could see where the value is; what fine finishes there are; the level of fittings and equipment. Even the heads are good-sized and welcoming!

That has got to be one of the most practically beautiful boats I have seen so far. Thanks for the tour 😊 👏 👍

@@brownnoise357 bucket of steam or tartan paint…..
Ask them today and they’ll say “what’s an apprentice?”
This is one of those boats that just 'makes sense' to me.
As soon as I find 300 grand imma gonna get me one

The PERFECT
VACATION HOME.
BUT AT THAT PRICE
NEEDS A KITCHEN.

Certainly a quality finish and feature packed. The overall layout doesn’t do it for me but I did really love the setup of that foredeck.
Great boat - and compared to other offerings - literally a steal !!!

What a stunning boat. Cleverly thought out and beautifully executed. The quality is also very impressive.
Cracking job as ever Nick!

this one costs 395k in euro, quite expensive... but nice indeed
2 beds and all the leisure areas you need. What a great design

I think Galeon and Azimut are my two favourite boat brands. Their clever layouts and modern stylish interiors always appeal to me.
Can you please do a tour of Silent 120 explorer please
Great video Nick.
I keep wondering how many smart details they can come up with on the smaller boats.
One really has to be innovative as a boat designer
I’m rather taken with this boat. Sign me up
Not my type of boat Nick, but probably the most imaginative use of space I have seen.
Sadly the imagination ran-out with the cheap looking snap-on canvas black-out blinds.....tacky for a £300k+ vessel!
Another Wonderful ship,and tour.Thank you.(I'd say something brilliant,but after a holiday with family I can barely glow.)
Incredible boat. Seems to have it all. The quality shows. Accommodation is great for the size. One for you Nick?

First time I ever seen a sunbed structure over outboard engines! Very cool and clever
Hey Nick . Great video . Really liked this Galeon yacht design & layout . Mark (Toronto) 👍⚓
That is not a boat it’s your own private desert island. What a very clever package, absolutely brilliant. Ps amazing they left the bottle of fizz and glasses on board, somebody could easily have knocked them over 😂
A boat I think Nick could *possibly live with* if it was 'forced upon him'??? abt snack
This is absolutely magnificent! I would imagine this would be great for one of the bigger lakes in the USA. I'm landlocked in Iowa!
Hi Nick, great presentation, but you didn't mention the range. Seems to have a large fuel tank, so what do you think the range is?
Very nice but it's a Princess X95 or nothing for me. Looks very much like it's going to be nothing 🤣
What a great boat for 32ft. Two sleeping quarters. Not a bad price either. Loved it.
I always love Galeons, excellent quality, amazing innovation and I would expect a great deal of customisation available! Thanks for sharing this one, I like your boat!
This a very creative 32 ft boat! I love how Galeon is always putting in design solutions to give you more for less!
What a fantastic little boat. I would love one of these. Great weekend away, couple of nights on board then head home. The use of space is just brilliant. Feels way bigger than 32ft. The wave in the mirror was the icing on the cake. Thank you so much Nick for sharing this little beauty with us
You're very welcome! :)
Nice weekender or even a bit longer for a couple who wants to rough it😁. As always Nick nice review.🙏
Nick, price aside... this seems like a great option for Smugglers Bues III
Just a lovely boat. Kind of on the fussy side and I don't know how well it will hold up to the years, but brand spankin' new a wonderful boat.
... could easily see myself spend a week or two on this little beauty. Install a little freezer and stock up on what else you need to stay away ... :-)
Galeon really are making some smart boats this is another great example so much space on a small boat.
Thanks for the tour Nick and happy Easter
Nice boat ticks a lot of box’s . Will the 375 be coming to your Chanel soon?
If it's Miami Beach you just run it up on a sandbar where a bunch of other boats are and the sandbars become party islands until the tide comes
Thanks for this. Galeons are my favourite Yachts on the planet.
Yeahhh love it Nick, “a party island”, a great description 👍
Leave it to Galeon...every time I see one I can't help but think, "Who are these people ? How can they be so dam clever ?" They always amaze.
I love when you tour Galeon boats, Nick. They are always beautiful, cheerfully-designed, and I love the gadgets that allow for so much more out of the same space. It's hard to believe there is this much designed intentionally into a 32 ft. boat! Floating party island, indeed! So would this be on your list for a possible Smuggler's Blues 3?
I keep revisiting this boat. Must have watched this 7 or 8 times. Love it, love it, love it!
I love your videos, so inspiring and fun!!! Oh yh and Galeon are my favorite Yachts
Glad you like them!
Very nice looking boat. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🛥🛥🛥🛥🛥🛥
Wow this would kill in a place like Florida with al the party boaters, that layout is fantastic.
A swiss army knife of a boat, complete with diving platform!. Thanks for the tour Nick. 👍
I was genuinely surprised by the second stateroom, what a smart use of space! Galeon is quickly becoming one of my favorite boat designers.
It's a great party platform or day boat. But it can also do 30 Kts, so a bit of a thrill ride too.
What magnificent use of space. The double bed under the stairs is a great idea. I like the squared off bow too as it makes the space very useable. With those outboards it should have a fair old pace to it too.
Excellent little boat
Well what a stunning boat and being a fan of outboards and joystick control makes this one super craft.
It's a very small detail-but I really liked the Bee cushions.
Essentially using the foredeck as the flybridge.
Heh heh... nobody is going to outdo Galeon. They must obsess about the details and it shows.
I was looking at a Fairline Squadron 50 (early one) but calculating the cost of fuel made my eyes water. The fuel tank is 1860 litres (491 US gallons) which I think gives a range of about 800 nm but the cost ! Little change from £3,500 ! Could be more with ever rising fuel prices. After paying for a berth, maintenance, insurance and perhaps some occasional crew there is no money left to go anywhere !!! Did I get the calculations correct ?
If you are looking at fuel costs, and not appreciating what it is to be boating, then this is not for you.
I'm really taken with this boat, a ton of clever thinking went into this. This is the perfect weekender for a couple and a brilliant day boat as well. Thanks as always for the great tour Nick.
Our pleasure!
Given "gas" prices this boat really, really needs those COX (etc.) 300hp diesel outboards.
Would like to see the GTO 375. Nicer lines. Sunroof with extended roof black glass looks good. Black glass side windows that go all the way down. And maybe biggest selling points, it has side balconies on both sides and if want speed, a choice of having 3 engines with total HP of 1350 so talking 45 knots apparently.
Also, the shower is a separate cubicle with door as opposed to toilet/shower in same space.
Could you sail it to the Bahamas from England if you wanted to?
Aloha; BRILLIANT boat and FANTASTIC review as ever. Mahalo for answering the question of how to keep toilet paper dry - on the back of my mind too. Mahalo
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Nick I’m 15 and discorverd your Chanel 3 days ago and nearly watched everything...I’m 16 and really want a boat is that to young? Do I have to spend £30,000 on a boat.

I really starting to love the galeon boats. I love the outside areas on them. And the fact that you can go through instead of around them to get on the front, even the bigger ones.
Thank you for all you do Nick. What is the range on this boat ?
Like a Swiss army knife
If you had to chose one of the following what would it be ?
Beneteau GT32 or the Galleon 325 GTO
Similar money and size
I’d go for the GT32
Very close, both cracking boats, prefer the fore deck and lower deck on the Galeon, but I tend to agree, I'd probably go for the 32GT for the inboard motors, wider cabin and separate shower stall. (Or in an ideal world I'd save a bit more and have a Galeon 400 Fly).
Now THIS is my kind of boat... if I could orford it..
Definitely not a uk toy but one for the med
Now that would be a great Smugglers Blues II;)
Eye catching, absolutely beautiful, floating 24/7 fun!
gorgeous boat, mind you at 316k it should be
That big hatch opened in the cockpit I see a space down there for a gyro
Hello. Have a safe blessed day! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
That is an absolute awesome small boat. Great design features nothing I don’t like about it.
Many purpose built boats are single duty - fishing boats for fishing, dive boats for SCUBA, etc. While being quite efficient at their designed task, that's it, really. But this is a floating FUN platform. And as such it only offers good times in the water - brilliant. My one concern is covering the outboards will make it tedious to gain access to each motor's starter rope. Oh well, small inconvenience for an otherwise "perfect" FUN BOAT. This will be an easy craft to share with family, friends and neighbors. Thanks, Nick and good on ya Galeon.
Nice little boat. I like Galeons very much.
I absolutely love Galeons design and innovation. This is a really practical boat for the money. If I can’t afford the Numarine 37XP or the Galeon 640 fly, then this would be a real contender 😊. Thanks as always Nick (Michael Punch)
Just looks great Nick Sir 😊... And you are truly great... Happy Easter
@♜pinnedby Aquaholic… sure Sir.
Plenty of innovations on this daytime boat, that drop down platform and the drop-down or up wheel is very good. Love the skyhook stop and you don't move. Very clever. To me where Galeon goes, other boat designers will follow. Over the years as I look at your videos I've noticed how much boats and their electronics have changed and developed. Clever use of space. Fascinating. Thanks Nick.
I’m 4 minutes in, and realize this is a beast! Love it!
Whoa.. I never really like Galeon much. But this baby is the cat's meow.. Perfect for river running out here.. Though our big ole river has some real narrow channels and commercial barges so AIS is a respectful must.. thanks Nick.. this is a good un..
I was filming something on my camera just the other day, passed a mirror, and unconsiously found myself doing the Nick Burnham Wave... Does anyone else suffer from this? 😀
This would be a great tender/support vessel for a larger yacht.. For something like a Majesty 155..
Ooo I say there's another one for the lotto list. Only thing I would design wise would be to have a sliding roof of some sort above the helm,but that's just me being picky. Cracking boat and tour as always Nick.
Hi Nick. An awesome boat. Like the flexi teak deck. A party boat very popular in the US and Captain Steve from boattest is in the UK. Great walkthrough tour thanks 😊 ps. Seen you on a Tema marine electric video. Are you getting commission celebrity. Anyway, look forward to seeing the next one.
Wow, talk about packing 5 Galions of ship in a 1 Galion container!! 😂 Awesome boat, Nick (one might be tempted to become a “smuggler” with one of these!!) 🤨
Galleon always impresses with it's innovative use of space. One of these could make an extraordinary fishing charter.
Mashaallah, ❤️
so nice,,, luv the platform over the motors
