Galeon Yachts launches new outboard model

The 325 GTO took the best part of three years to develop and is the first in what will be a collection of outboard powered models up to 40-plus feet

Jacek Kobylko, president Galeon Yachts commented from the factory in Poland: “Galeon Yachts is an aspirational brand for many and we are extremely honoured to bring hallmark quality, design, and innovation to the brand new 325 GTO. This outboard-powered, feature-rich, 32-foot craft ensures Galeon is attainable for a larger audience of boating and yachting enthusiasts.” 

From the full hardtop to the in-hull ports, everything is moulded in - rather than cut out and inserted - while the boats comes with a multicolor lighting package, single level deck throughout, power adjustable helm seats and steering wheel, and interior appointments consistent with their larger yachts. The boat has taken the best part of three years to develop and is the first in what will be a collection of outboard powered models up to 40-plus feet to be launched in the coming years.

Bob Burke, Galeon Brand Manager in the United States, said, “Consistent with our class-leading and muold-breaking designs, Galeon Yachts have compromised nothing with the brand new GTO Collection, an outboard-powered family of cruisers destined to set your soul ablaze and take your breath away.” 

The bow area is particularly spacious since the 325 GTO carries the 3.3m full beam far forward. The aft of the boat features unique fold-down ‘beach mode’ platform to port, something that has become a signature of larger Galeons in recent years. It is complemented by transom seating that can face fore or aft. Designer Tony Castro, who has worked on all other Galeon models, created the platform to offer unrivaled versatility combined with the plush transom seating, which can face fore or aft.

Chuck Cashman, MarineMax Chief Revenue Officer, says, “As a dealership, MarineMax prides itself on building deep relationships with our customers. Those customers share with us their wants and desires for their current and next boats. We listen very carefully and then work with our manufacturers to meet our clients’ existing and future needs. Galeon listens to what we want as a dealer and transforms those wants into a world-class boats. Galeon seems to have no boundaries for design and innovation and compressing the normal design timeline always seems to be just ahead of the pack. What’s even more remarkable is they are so nimble and innovative without ever compromising on quality. It’s a wonderful blend of leading-edge innovation and design married to old-world quality.”
