Another PowerYacht exclusive set to debut in the coming September month Cannes show. This is Galeon's new 350 HTC, the three letters meaning for Hard Top Coupe. Based on an extended hull which comes from the successful 330 series, the new 350 HTC puts the elements we have seen on the bigger Galeon's into a smaller package. Signs of these are evident in the glass hard top similar to what you see on the 700 Raptor and quality fittings in the upholstery, and furniture. Galeon unlike other builders also opted for a complete new super structure tooling for the 350 HTC, showing bigger windows in the side, and a large windshield compared to the also new for 2010 340 Fly unveiled in January. Apart the super structure differences the 350 HTC keeps various successful elements from the 340 Fly with some of these also coming from the 330 series. I like the clever cockpit settee this like the 340, and the inside galley saloon up arrangement permitting a unique three cabin five berths plan below as found on the 330 line. Power is twin Volvo 220hp, up to a faster optional 300hp choice which gives a 35 knots top speed.

Polish premier production boat builder Galeon continues its march to fill its range with competitive and diverse products. Coming from the successful launch of the 340 Fly in Dusseldorf, Galeon looks ahead at presenting its next step with the new 385 HT. This project is a size evolution of the 325 Open and HT model but with a bigger size offering wider and larger spaces. Just as all the recent Galeon models the 385 HT is designed by Tony Castro, who presented similar looks to the 325 for the much competitive eleven metre stern drive powered hard top sports cruiser. The main deck of the 385 HT follows recent trends of a flush floor. Here Castro and Galeon concentrated to offer diverse living spaces from the C-shaped settee, chaise lounge, wet bar exterior galley, and helm station. Accommodation lower deck features an L-shaped galley, L-shaped saloon, owners suite to fore, and double cabin aft with private bathroom. The Galeon 385 HT designed by Tony Castro also follows recent client demands not only in the always more wanted all weather more boat use hardtop, but also in big side view windows, and sky screens for the fore deck.
