"Ariel" is in terrific condition and lightly used. She is owned by a meticulous owner and certainly the type of person who's boat you would like to buy! Just bottom painted, motors service and detailed- she is ready to go!! Boat shows pride of ownership through out!
Powered with inboard Volvo Penta D6 diesel motors (only 335 hours on them) which are extremely clean and running great! There is a hydraulic swim step and comes with dinghy and new 40 hp motor. Cabin is very clean and there are 3 staterooms / 2 head cabin which is very rare for a boat this size! There is also a Fisher Panda G12 (12KW) Generator with only 523 hours on it also!
Give me a call to arrange a personal showing. These boats are very well built and don't come on the market very often!!
The hydraulic swim platform provides
easy access to the water, and multiple sun pads offer guests space
to soak in some rays. The flybridge comes complete with plenty
of seating along with a galley for entertaining.
"The joinery is excellent, as is the feeling of solidity throughout the
boat."
-Motorboat & Yachting (UK)
"We like the conventional straight shaft drive, because it avoids the
high initial cost of a pod system."

Overview
The Galleon 420 Fly is a 43-foot, 6-inch flybridge cruiser designed for both performance and comfort. With a beam of 13 feet, 8 inches and a draft of 47 inches, this vessel weighs approximately 26,698 pounds empty. Powered by twin 435-horsepower Volvo Penta D6 engines, the 420 Fly offers a blend of sporty handling and practical cruising capabilities, making it suitable for a variety of boating conditions.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The exterior of the Galleon 420 Fly is thoughtfully equipped with practical features for ease of handling and safety. At the transom, dual 10-inch cleats and an electric shore power cord reel are standard, while the cockpit includes additional cleats, chafing gear, and fender storage mirrored on both sides. Access to the side decks is available from the cockpit, complemented by LED courtesy lighting and numerous grab rails. The cabin sides feature increasing rail height forward, with opening gates and lifelines for secure movement. The bow area is well-appointed with dual 10-inch cleats, a center-mounted windlass, an 8-inch cleat for securing the rode, and a delta plow anchor. A remote-controlled spotlight with foot controls enhances visibility during night operations.
Flybridge and Lower Helm Stations
The flybridge helm is equipped with a compass aligned directly with the helm, a 10-inch multifunction display, and a 7-inch Volvo Penta EVC engine display. Additional features include a Fusion stereo system, Raymarine autopilot, rocker switches, bow thruster controls, and ignition start/stop buttons. However, the digital engine controls are positioned at an extreme angle on the right, requiring upward movement to accelerate, which could benefit from a more level sub-platform. Trim tabs are located forward but are not easily reachable while maintaining control. The VHF radio is positioned below the helm, which itself is mounted on a fixed base and can be lifted for servicing by releasing a latch and removing a pin. The antenna array is collapsible for clearance under low bridges. The lower helm station mirrors many of these features, including a compass, a larger 12-inch multifunction display, air conditioning vents, and a similar layout of engine controls and autopilot. Notable is the double-wide helm seat with flip-down armrests and bolsters, walnut with maple inlay on the seat back, and a built-in footrest. Visibility is excellent through the expansive single-piece windshield.
Engine Room and Systems Access
Access to the engine room is via a hatch in the cockpit deck, providing crawl space around the twin Volvo Penta 435-horsepower engines. The propulsion system utilizes shaft drives, with inspection plates on the deck for maintenance. Fuel tanks are positioned outboard of the engines, and a generator is located to the right of the hatch. Routine engine checks can be performed from hatches within the salon, where the main electrical panel is also conveniently located at the port quarter.
Performance and Handling
During testing with an estimated load of 28,787 pounds, including 85% fuel and three people aboard, the Galleon 420 Fly achieved a top speed of 30 knots at 3,490 RPM. The most economical cruise speed was 16.6 knots at 2,400 RPM, consuming 19.4 gallons per hour and providing a range of approximately 224 nautical miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve from the total 291-gallon capacity. The boat demonstrated a sporty character, accelerating onto plane in 5.1 seconds, reaching 20 mph in 8.7 seconds, and surpassing 30 mph in 14.9 seconds. Handling was responsive and well-mannered, with smooth transitions across wakes and no pounding or wet ride observed. Docking maneuvers were facilitated by the ability to use individual drives in reverse, allowing precise control in tight slips. Gentle use of the propellers was advised to avoid excessive lateral movement, with forward thrust used to halt momentum once aligned.
Conclusion
The Galleon 420 Fly impresses with its combination of thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and strong performance. Both helm stations offer comprehensive controls and excellent visibility, while the exterior layout prioritizes safety and functionality. Powered by reliable Volvo Penta engines, the boat delivers sporty acceleration and efficient cruising capabilities. Overall, the 420 Fly is a well-rounded vessel suitable for both spirited boating and comfortable cruising.
