Galeon 405 HTL (2015 - 2020) 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 405 HTL delivers speeds of up to 35 knots.

Accommodation

The Galeon 405 HTL offers a versatile accommodation layout that caters to both day boating enthusiasts and those who may occasionally seek overnight or weekend getaways. Additionally, its maximum guest capacity of four ensures there's ample space for a small group of friends or family, making it suitable for day outings with the possibility of occasional overnight or weekend use. Conversely, some of its rivals like the Azimut 43 and Galeon 410 HTC with their simpler two cabin configurations may be better suited for day boating enthusiasts who prioritize open-water adventures and occasional overnight escapes.

Performance

In terms of cruising performance, the Galeon 405 HTL leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 27 knots thanks to its twin 370hp Volvo Penta D6-370 engines and maximum speed of 35 knots at 3,500rpm. Closely followed by, the Azimut 43 with a respectable cruising speed of 31 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Azimut 43, with the slowest cruising speed of 31 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 shallow draft of the Galeon 410 HTC allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels.
