Overview
The Galleon 485 HTS is a thoughtfully designed offshore cruiser that combines robust construction with refined aesthetics. Certified as a Class B vessel, it is built to handle offshore waters within 200 miles, capable of sustaining winds up to 34 to 40 knots and waves reaching 4 meters. This model emphasizes both comfort and seaworthiness, making it suitable for extended cruising in challenging conditions.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
The aft of the 485 HTS features a hydraulic platform that extends four feet from the transom, doubling as a tender lift with an 880-pound capacity and providing access to a tender garage. When lowered, the platform reveals automatic stairs, creating a private teak beach area. Reboarding stairs are conveniently located to port. The aft deck is accessed via starboard stairs and includes U-shaped seating with a double pedestal table that can be lowered to form a spacious sun pad. A sure shade awning extends from the hardtop for sun protection. The side decks are well-appointed with 22-inch-high rails and 16 inches of clearance from the cabin side, facilitating safe movement. Midship features include an opening gate for side boarding from a fixed pier and a cleat. Forward on the trunk cabin, a large sun pad measuring 7 feet 6 inches by 6 feet 9 inches is complemented by a cabana providing shade. The bow area is equipped with a recessed quick windlass, a plow anchor with an integrated stainless steel roller, a remote spotlight, and foot controls, all designed for efficient anchor handling.
Interior Living Spaces
The interior of the 485 HTS offers a seamless transition from the exterior through a sliding glass door and window system that retracts into the bulkhead, creating an open and inviting atmosphere. The main salon features a wraparound seating area around a finely crafted wood pedestal table, with expansive windows that provide excellent visibility to the horizon from a seated position. The galley is positioned opposite an outdoor galley area and is finished with high-gloss woodwork, matching grains, and multiple wood tones. It includes a stainless steel sink with a dedicated cover, ample counter space, double burner electric cooktop, microwave, refrigerator with a finished door, and abundant storage. The U-shaped seating area incorporates diamond-pattern stitched upholstery and a high-low pedestal table convertible into a sleeping berth or larger dining surface. A 32-inch flat screen TV is mounted in the salon, complemented by natural light from skylights and opening port lights with squared-off designs.
Private Accommodations
The yacht features two staterooms and two heads. The full-beam master stateroom, located aft, showcases exceptional fit and finish with solid core doors, Alcantara suede bulkheads, and detailed inlay work. It includes a comfortable couch, ample storage such as pull-out drawers beneath nightstands and a credenza-style cabinet, and a centrally mounted berth with decorative headboard. The master head features a walk-in shower, large opening port light, mirrored cabinets, powered ventilation, and natural light. Forward, the VIP stateroom contains an island berth with storage both above and below, hall side windows with pull-down shades, and six feet eight inches of overhead clearance. A skylight with woodwork enhances natural illumination. The VIP head serves as a wet head with a private entrance and an additional door connecting to the galley and salon, functioning also as a day head.
Power and Performance
The 485 HTS is powered by twin 435-horsepower Volvo Penta IPS600 diesel engines with integrated pods. Fuel capacity is 336 gallons, and water capacity is 119 gallons. The engine room is accessible via a cockpit deck hatch with stairs, featuring well-organized systems including main battery switches and a sound-shielded generator. The helm station is equipped with a 12-inch Raymarine touchscreen display, autopilot, Volvo Penta EVC system, retractable drink holders, and electronic navigation lighting controls. The helm seat is double-wide with a flip-down bolster and a drop-down platform that elevates the operator for better visibility. The IPS joystick system provides precise maneuverability, allowing effortless docking and tight-space handling.
Sea Trial and Handling
During testing in challenging conditions with 30-knot winds and 6 to 8-foot seas, the 485 HTS demonstrated excellent offshore capabilities. It handled beam and following seas particularly well, maintaining speed without bow stuffing and providing a dry ride. In head seas, the yacht launched over waves with spray but avoided harsh pounding upon re-entry, resuming a steady course smoothly. The vessel’s robust construction and handling characteristics make it a reliable choice for cruising in adverse weather. The IPS joystick system further enhanced control during docking maneuvers, confirming the yacht’s ease of handling in confined spaces.
Conclusion
The Galleon 485 HTS impresses with its combination of refined craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and proven offshore performance. The yacht’s spacious and well-appointed interior, versatile exterior living spaces, and advanced propulsion systems make it a compelling option for those seeking a capable and comfortable offshore cruiser. Its ability to confidently handle rough sea conditions while providing a high level of onboard comfort distinguishes it as a well-rounded vessel for extended cruising.
