Galeon 640 Fly Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 640 Fly has won 2 awards, most recently for "Flybridge (over 60ft)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 640 Fly delivers speeds of up to 34 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Galeon 640 Fly offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Princess F62 and Azimut 66, share the same 8 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 640 Fly benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and full-standing headroom is a standout. The Hampton Yachts Hampton 650 and Cranchi Sessantadue 62, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 3 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Galeon 640 Fly delivers a steady 24 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess F62 with an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots. The Galeon 640 Fly emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Gulf Craft 70, with the slowest cruising speed of 20 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Azimut 66 impresses with its extensive range of 589 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Gulf Craft 70 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess F62 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 36 knots and cruising speed of 30 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Galeon 640 Fly stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
