Galeon 800 Fly Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 800 Fly delivers speeds of up to 30 knots.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Galeon 800 Fly offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Azimut Seadeck 9 and Pearl Yachts 82 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to guests in 5 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The 800 Fly benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Schaefer Yachts Schaefer 25M is tailored for somewhat smaller groupsoffering up to 3 cabins, yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Galeon 800 Fly has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 25 knots and a top speed of 30 knots. The Galeon 800 Fly emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Princess Y78 which has an impressive cruising speed of 34 knots powered by its twin 1,800hp MAN V12-1800 engines and can reach a top speed of 36 knots. This is closely followed by the Schaefer Yachts Schaefer 25M with a notable cruising speed of 26 knots and top speed of 34 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Monte Carlo Yachts 80 impresses with its extensive range of 671 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Princess Y78, Cranchi Settantotto 78 and Schaefer Yachts Schaefer 25M all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess Y78 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 36 knots and cruising speed of 34 knots. The Riva 82' Diva has an impressive gross tonnage of 90GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Galeon 800 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.
