Fresh watercraft unveiled at Düsseldorf boat exhibition: Galeon 435 GTI model
The Galeon 435 GTI Set for World Debut at Duesseldorf Boat Show 2025
The 2025 Duesseldorf Boat Show will debut a new addition to the marine world: the Galeon 435 GTI. The boat's name, reminiscent of iconic GTIs from the '80s, belies its modern purpose as a high-spirited day boat.
Making its world premiere at the Duesseldorf Boat Show 2025, the Galeon 435 GTI is a remarkable blend of grand touring design and contemporary appeal. It honors the legacy of the Galeon 435 GTO, introducing a climate-controlled, glass-enclosed wheelhouse to enhance the fun on days with less favorable weather conditions.
Indeed, the Galeon 435 GTI showcases a stunning dayboat with outdoor spaces as impressive as ever. The aft cockpit features an adjustable central seating/sunbed unit, offering versatility in its arrangement. Conveniently positioned under the seats, a garage engulfs water toys, while a hydraulic platform ensures easy access to the water. A retractable sunshade extends the hardtop shelter aft.
To accommodate expansive socializing, the deck features large, partially glazed balconies. At the bow, a radically flared design houses a massive 19ft beam, reaching nearly to the forepeak, where large convertible seats provide space for lounging, dining, and sunbathing.
For those interested in occasional cruising, the Galeon 435 GTI hosts two cabins: one amidships fitted with a double and a single bed, and a broad owner's cabin forward of the starboard bathroom.
While the boat is primarily a day cruiser, the Galeon 435 GTI is a joint winner in the Motor Yacht 13-15m category at the Yacht Style Awards 2025, hinting at its broader potential. The awards speak to the boat's appealing balance of design, performance, and practicality.
Awaiting further disclosure is the boat's specifications in terms of length, engines, top speed, and price. Interested boat enthusiasts can learn more from the Galeon official website.
