Galeon 570 SKY World Debut in Fort Lauderdale: The New Sport Yacht That Transforms on the Water

Sporty in its lines, versatile in its spaces, and designed to deliver an onboard experience that goes well beyond that of a traditional coupe. The new Galeon 570 SKY made its world debut at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2026, arriving with a series of innovative solutions that make this model particularly interesting.

Measuring 17.55 meters in length overall, the new yacht from the Polish shipyard stands out for its ability to transform its spaces to suit the owner’s needs. The goal is to combine the pleasure of sporty boating with the livability of a larger yacht, through a smart distribution of volumes and numerous transformable features.

The boat retains a sleek, dynamic profile but offers spaces devoted to socializing, relaxing, and extended cruising. Among the elements that most define the project are the Beach Mode Package, the various configurations of the aft area, and the innovative upper helm station, which can be folded away electrically when not in use.

Galeon 570 SKY: with Beach Mode, the beam reaches 6.86 meters

One of the most spectacular features of the new Galeon 570 SKY is the Beach Mode Package, a solution that has by now become a hallmark of the shipyard. The system includes two fold-down side terraces, positioned on the sides of the boat, which considerably expand the available surface area during stopovers. With both terraces open, the usable beam increases from 4.83 meters to approximately 6.86 meters. That is an increase of more than two meters, which turns the central and aft areas of the yacht into a broad platform devoted to outdoor living.

The terraces sit directly above the water and help create a particularly close connection with the sea. The effect is further enhanced by the sliding side windows, which open the interior spaces to the outdoors.

On the port side, the galley also features a convertible bar counter, connected to the side terrace through an opening window. In this way, guests can move and mingle between the cockpit, galley, and outer platforms without a clear separation between spaces. It is a solution that makes the Galeon 570 SKY particularly well suited to days at anchor and moments of socializing, when available surface area and easy access to the water become essential elements.

A cockpit that changes configuration to suit the owner’s needs

The versatility of the Galeon 570 SKY also emerges in the design of the aft area, available in three different configurations. Among the available options is a dedicated skipper’s cabin, which allows a crew member to be accommodated separately from the main accommodations.

Of particular interest is the Carousel Mode Package, an optional setup that turns the cockpit into a multifunctional space. This configuration includes a tender garage with hydraulic opening, a swiveling aft seat, a storage compartment, and a table that adapts to different needs.

The ability to rotate the seat and change the arrangement of the furnishings allows the same space to be used in different ways, shifting from a layout geared toward navigation to one designed for relaxation. The tender garage is also a useful solution for those who want to embark on extended cruises, keeping a tender on board without excessively sacrificing outdoor space.

The philosophy behind the project is clear: not to impose a single way of living aboard the yacht, but to let the owner choose the one best suited to their habits.

A relaxing bow area with sofas, sunpads, and storage compartments

The foredeck of the new Galeon 570 SKY has also been designed to be used during stopovers. Here there is room for a comfortable sofa and generous sunpad areas, creating a space devoted to relaxation with a view of the sea.

Storage space is built in beneath the sunpads, making it possible to stow gear and accessories without compromising the look of the deck. This solution helps make the bow a truly livable space, complementing the aft areas and the upper deck. The availability of multiple outdoor zones also lets guests choose where to spend their time, promoting privacy even when several people are on board.

The galley becomes the heart of socializing

On the Galeon 570 SKY, the galley is not conceived as a space separate from social life, but rather as one of the central areas of the yacht. The arrangement of the furnishings in fact encourages interaction between whoever is preparing meals and the guests in the living areas.

The equipment includes a household-size refrigerator, an induction cooktop, an oven with grill and microwave functions, a range hood, and a stainless steel sink. On the starboard side there is a sofa, while on the port side the sliding window opens the galley to the side terrace.

The convertible bar counter completes this configuration, creating a direct connection between interior and exterior. It is a particularly interesting solution for a yacht intended for both day outings and longer cruises, where the functionality of the galley takes on growing importance.

Atlantic Design Package, three cabins, and interiors by Insitu & Partners Studio

For the new 570 SKY, Galeon has also developed a dedicated aesthetic package: the Atlantic Design Package, designed by Insitu & Partners Studio. The package introduces a distinct stylistic identity, with coordinated exterior finishes and interiors characterized by contemporary elegance.

The below-deck layout features three cabins and two bathrooms, offering comfortable accommodations for the owner and guests. The cabins include an owner’s suite, a VIP cabin in the bow, and a guest cabin.

Particular attention has been paid to the main suite, which features a curved ceiling and a wooden headboard. The same material touches continue in the other spaces, where wood details and leather elements help create a refined and welcoming atmosphere. The choice of finishes aims to enhance the perceived quality of the interiors while maintaining aesthetic consistency with the yacht’s sporty character.

Two helm stations and a retractable flybridge

One of the most original innovations of the Galeon 570 SKY concerns the configuration of the helm stations. On the main deck, the wheelhouse is enhanced by a large sunroof, which transforms the driving environment and lets you enjoy open-air boating. A side door reserved for the captain also provides direct access to the side deck, making it easier to move around during maneuvers. It is a particularly useful solution during docking operations, when being able to quickly reach the side deck can make handling the boat easier.

But the model’s real distinguishing feature is found on the upper deck. Here Galeon has developed a second helm station that combines the advantages of a flybridge with the aerodynamic, sleek profile of a coupe yacht. The central console is in fact electrically foldable: it can be opened when you want to steer the yacht from above and hidden away when not in use. The system makes it possible to preserve a sporty exterior line without giving up the option of navigating from an elevated position.

The station has dedicated seats for the captain and a passenger, also allows standing operation, and includes a built-in refrigerator. It is a solution that offers an original take on the sport yacht concept, providing a flexibility generally associated with boats that have a more traditional flybridge.

Volvo Penta engine options up to 1,800 horsepower

The sporty character of the Galeon 570 SKY is backed by a range of Volvo Penta engines with shaft-drive transmission. The shipyard offers four different propulsion configurations, with total power ranging from 1,340 to 1,800 horsepower.

The standard powerplant consists of a pair of Volvo Penta D11-670 engines, each producing 670 horsepower. At the top of the range is the configuration with two Volvo Penta D13-900 engines, capable of delivering a combined 1,800 horsepower.

The fuel tank has a stated capacity of 2,199 liters, designed to support even fairly lengthy cruises. Another technical feature is the presence of integrated ducts for managing airflow around the yacht. According to the builder, these systems help control lateral motion and improve comfort while underway.

The world debut at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2026

The new Galeon 570 SKY was officially presented to the international public at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2026, one of the most important events for the U.S. boating market. The show is an ideal showcase for a model that focuses on innovative solutions and the ability to offer a particularly versatile onboard experience.

The fold-down side terraces, the configurable cockpit, and the retractable upper helm station are the elements that most set the new yacht apart. To these are added the three-cabin layout, the Volvo Penta engines, and a distribution of spaces designed to combine sporty boating with comfort during cruises. With the 570 SKY, Galeon thus expands its lineup with a model that offers an original take on the relationship between design, functionality, and outdoor living.

Conclusion

The Galeon 570 SKY is one of the most interesting new models presented at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2026, above all for its ability to combine innovative technical solutions with great versatility of spaces. The Beach Mode Package, which brings the usable beam to almost seven meters, is one of the project’s most spectacular features, while the Carousel Mode Package offers new possibilities for using the aft area. Particularly successful, too, is the idea of the second, foldable helm station, which preserves the sporty profile of a coupe without giving up the advantages of steering from above.

With three cabins, two bathrooms, and engines of up to 1,800 horsepower, the new Galeon positions itself as a yacht capable of meeting a range of needs, from day outings to more demanding cruises. It is a model that confirms the shipyard’s determination to stand out through original design solutions, putting the freedom to live the sea at the center.
