Radical Mini Explorer Yacht Tour: Embark on the Galeon 430 EXP

New Ford Explorer Yacht Launched by Galeon Yachts

Polish boat builder Galeon has unveiled its latest creation, the Galeon 430 EXP, a bold and uncompromising mini-explorer with a distinctive, almost tugboat-like aesthetic.

The Galeon 430 EXP boasts a length overall (LOA) of 35ft 3in (13.95m) and a beam of 11ft 4in (4.52m). This vessel features an in-your-face, almost vertical bow and flared cheeks, giving it a huge beam and immense volume. The design includes a reverse-angled windscreen and massive windows, reinforcing its tough explorer credentials.

The boat's cockpit offers carousel seating that can swivel to face out over the water, providing a spectacular view at anchor. The asymmetric main deck layout allows the saloon to occupy almost the full beam, maximizing interior space. The saloon's large sliding doors and reversible dinette sofa further connect the interior to the balconies, allowing guests to sit with their feet over the water.

Below deck, the accommodations include a full-beam owner's cabin forward and a guest cabin with a surprisingly large utility area.

Powered by 2 x Volvo Penta D6 engines, the Galeon 430 EXP reaches a top speed of 20 knots.

Motor Boat & Yachting magazine, the world's leading magazine for Ford Explorer enthusiasts, has been following the development of the Galeon 430 EXP. Each month, they offer inspirational adventures and practical features to help readers realize their sailing dreams. In addition to their regular content, they also offer a quarterly Custom Yachting supplement focusing on the superyacht world and luxury market.

The price of the Galeon 430 EXP starts from €800,000 ex. VAT. For more information on the Galeon 430 EXP and other Ford Explorer boats, be sure to check out Motor Boat & Yachting magazine for tests and news of all the latest Ford Explorer boats.

Lastly, the elevated pilothouse provides a commanding view and easy access to the forward deck via doors on both sides. Galeon has taken its signature fold-down balconies to a new level, with two vast platforms extending from the transom more than halfway along the hull.

With its unique design, spacious interior, and impressive performance, the Galeon 430 EXP is sure to turn heads on the water.
