Galeon 460 Fly (2017 - 2023) 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 460 Fly has won 1 award, most recently for "Best international motor yacht in Asia (under 15m)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 460 Fly delivers speeds of up to 28 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Galeon 460 Fly offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Ferretti Yachts 450 and Gulf Craft 48, share the same 6 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 460 Fly benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a sofa is a standout. The Princess F45, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 4 guests in 2 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for short trips and overnight getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Galeon 460 Fly delivers a steady 26 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Rodman Muse 44 with an impressive cruising speed of 26 knots or the Princess F45 with a respectable cruising speed of 27 knots. The Galeon 460 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 Okean Yachts 50X, with the slowest cruising speed of 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 Princess F45 impresses with its extensive range of 358 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Galeon 440 Fly and Gulf Craft 48 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Princess F45 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 27 knots. Meanwhile, the Rodman Muse 44 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 32 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Galeon 460 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.
