Kicking off at a base price of £695,000, it boasts a trio of punchy 300hp Mercury engines. With plenty of features to get excited about, let's find out the details and see what sets this model apart.

Developed in collaboration with the Tony Castro Design Studio, the Galeon 375 GTO joined the lineup in 2022. This 52-knot boat cements a new era for the Polish shipyard - they've built outboard-powered boats before under its Galia name (and the 325 GTO) but this 375 GTO is a class above.
The 375 GTO is a high-performance machine with triple outboard engines, Mercury’s monster 600hp V12s. These engines propel the 375 to a storming top speed of over 50 knots, with a cruising sweet spot between 30 and 45 knots. It’s perfectly attuned for charging out to your favourite bay, cove, or sand bar, where its deck spaces come into their own.
The main deck is on one level from stern to bow and features the drop-down terraces we've admired further up the Galeon range. The result is a tremendous socialising space with a superb feeling of quality. The modular design offers three distinct stern configurations depending on the boat’s purpose. For leisure, the sundeck option provides space for sunbathing and a sleeker design with an L-shaped sofa facing forward. For maximum deck space, the classic bench setup allows backrests to be turned in either direction, and the entire sofa can slide forward for easy engine access. Fishing enthusiasts will appreciate the option to fit a transom console with livewells, rod holders, a foldable seat, and additional storage areas.
Below deck, the 375 GTO has two double berths and a well-designed separate bathroom, making it a practical yet luxurious choice for extended trips. It’s a great-looking boat that blends performance, versatility, and style in a way that’s bound to turn heads in the American sportsboat market, as well as among competitors like Axopar and Saxdor.
Despite being a deck-focused boat, the accommodation here is surprisingly good, offering enough space and facilities to spend a night or even a weekend on board comfortably. The headroom is perfectly adequate, even over the seating area, despite the deck configuration above.
There's another seating area on the lower deck that is cleverly designed; the table drops down to create an infill, changing the space into a double berth. Additionally, there are twin berths running underneath the cockpit. While these berths may feel a bit cramped due to limited headroom, they are still of decent size and quite usable.
One of the key elements for a day boat like this is the bathroom, and the Galeon 375 GTO has a nicely finished one with good headroom and quality components. There's a Tecma electric toilet and a separate shower cubicle, which is very useful for those long days out on the water. You won't miss having the extra berths.
While there’s no full galley on board, the boat does offer some handy features like additional cooling space and a microwave, so basic meals or snacks can still be prepared. Natural light is another highlight of the accommodation area - thanks to the angular windows and the long door hatch, so it's a bit more inviting. The windows align perfectly with those on the topside, providing a connection with the outside environment.
Approaching the helm station of the Galeon 375 GTO is like stepping into a rocket ship. The first thing that catches your eye is the triple-screen setup. While these screens are optional - starting from nothing and scaling up to three - but having three on a boat this size, the effect is absolutely fantastic. It gives you all the information at your fingertips, and they are angled towards the helmsman.
For seating, there is the option for fully electric adjustable seats with footstools, but even the more basic versions are still practical and comfortable. They come with bolsters, allowing you to slide them in and out and even lean against them for a standing drive, making sure you can find the perfect position, whether you’re seated or standing.
The steering wheel features hub adjustment, but the entire unit can be moved up and down at a button press. The joystick controls, part of the Mercury package, offer intuitive control with twist-and-push manoeuvrability. Skyhook technology is featured - holding the boat in place with GPS. And let's not forget the chunky throttles connected to a 1,200 hp at the back.
The quality of the helm station is superb. From the smooth finish on the storage trays to the wireless charging pad for your phone, every detail is thoughtfully designed and executed. The footrests are solid and well-built, so typical of Galeon's commitment to quality.
The helm station also has a glass sunroof, which can be optionally replaced with a fibreglass one, though I think most people would prefer the glass for the natural light it allows even when closed.
The forward sunroof section joins with a door to close off the area, providing loads of protection when the weather goes bad. Both side windows drop down, allowing for great ventilation.
Let's start with the core of its propulsion options: while the base model offers a 300hp engine and a 450hp option, every unit produced so far has been propelled by the 600-horsepower Mercury V12s. This setup delivers a serious performance with a top speed of 52 knots - ludicrous for what is meant to be a leisure boat!
One of the signature Galeon traits on this model is the drop-down balconies on both sides. These balconies come as standard and are button-activated. On a boat of this size, the additional real estate provided by these balconies is appreciated - transforming the deck into an expansive party zone. It's a deep V, planing hull monohull, but it feels like a pure party boat - flat, beamy, and incredibly spacious.
In the cockpit, you'll notice the GRP table - teak option available - which opens up to double its size. This particular boat features the two-way backrest option, but you can also opt for a sun pad that stretches over towards the outboards, made out of carbon fibre to keep the weight down. Under-seat storage is also on hand, and the entire seating unit slides back and forth, allowing you to choose between facing the back of the boat or sitting at the dinette.
Decking options are another point of customisation. While the standard is a bare GRP deck, the reviewed boat features SeaDek, a rubberised weather-proof material that's very grippy and doesn't get too hot. You can also opt for S-Tech, an artificial teak available in various colour options. The upholstery, too, can be customised, although the grey variety can get quite hot. Lighter upholstery might be a better choice for summer.
The wet bar is designed with the American market in mind but equally appealing to European tastes. It's well-thought-out, featuring a chopping board that doubles as a sink cover, a Kenyon grill, and a decent-sized fridge.
A clever feature of this boat is the additional two-way bench. With a bit of effort, this bench can be converted into two more forward-facing seats. This is ideal for those who prefer not to travel facing backwards, offering a more comfortable position protected by the windscreen and helm seats.
The foredeck is also a great spot - it’s a great living space that can be enjoyed throughout the day. You can relax here in the evening or change it into a sunbathing haven by removing the table and inserting a couple of cushions. It's a bit exposed but on a nice day, it's lovely with a sound system, cupholders and backrests.
Our Verdict
The Galeon 375 GTO is a new chapter for the Polish shipyard, a step up from its predecessors. I had the pleasure of exploring this beast at the Cannes Boat Show, and it's clear Galeon has its sights on the American sportsboat market as well as competitors like Axopar and Saxdor. It’s an outboard-powered marvel, typically fitted with Mercury’s 600hp V12s, pushing this boat to 52 knots. On deck, the flat, spacious layout from stern to bow is a real treat, with drop-down terraces that add a massive socialising space. The helm station is a rocket ship with triple screens and it is seriously cool. The quality is superb, with the chunky throttles and the versatile seating. Below deck, the accommodation is surprisingly spacious for a day boat, with two double berths and a well-designed bathroom, just for overnight stays or a weekend. The Galeon 375 GTO is a high-performance, incredibly versatile boat that offers everything from thrilling speed to luxurious lounging spaces. If you're in the market for a boat in this sector, this could be a contender.

Rivals to Consider
The Scandinavian brands are pretty hot in this sector, none more so than the Axopar 37. It doesn't have the hybrid deck layout of the Galeon but with Open, Sun-Top and Cabin variants available there is a version to suit all needs. It's a clever boat, which packs a lot into a relatively slender hull. There are multiple deck layout options, too, with storage of a wet bar or a sun pad that disguises a separate aft cabin. The hull is an absolute gem, too. The one to beat in this class.
The Saxdor 400 may have something to say about that, however. This is another clever design available in GTO (open) and GTC (cabin) layouts. With no side decks and a walk-through deck arrangement, it has a very beamy cockpit and long drop-down balconies, which usefully extend the living space. It also boasts two cabins with standing room in the bathroom, forward. It's great value, too, with a starting price of just over €250,000.
The Cruisers 34 GLS OB has a similar look and feel to the Galeon, though it doesn't have a fully enclosed main deck. It's a cool-looking boat, though, and should get a shift on with its pair of 300hp outboard engines. It's also available as an inboard, which may be more attractive to those outside of the USA. It's slightly smaller so the sleeping accommodation isn't as good as the Galeon's and the decks aren't quite as spacious but the quality is very good.
