Celebrating Innovation: Galeon 620 FLY Wins Prestigious Award at World Yachts Trophies
As the exclusive importer and distributor for Galeon Yachts in Australia and New Zealand, Alexander Marine recently achieved a significant milestone. Last week at the World Yachts Trophies gala dinner held in Cannes, France, the Galeon 620 FLY was honored with the ‘Best Innovation Award’ in the 45‘ to 64’ category. This recognition underscores Galeon’s commitment to innovation and excellence in yacht design.
The World Yachts Trophies Gala
The World Yachts Trophies is a prestigious event that celebrates the best motor boats and yachts ranging from 13 to 140 meters that were launched during the year. This year’s gala featured around thirty trophies awarded, culminating in the legendary Yachts Parade—a spectacular showcase of the finest vessels gliding through the waters of Cannes. Guests were treated to a stunning evening alongside the Croisette, with an open-air setting on the beach near the iconic Cannes Carlton hotel. The event was organized by SG Publications, the publisher of Yachts France, Yachts Italia, and Yachts Europe, and attracted around 700 attendees.

Craftsmanship and Innovation in Design
The Galeon 620 FLY made its dazzling world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival last week, beautifully exhibiting the shipyard’s dedication to innovative design and technical mastery. The yacht stands out as a paragon of cutting-edge craftsmanship, fusing sporty elegance with high-end functionality seamlessly.
Among its notable features is the introduction of a unique Terrace Mode, which utilizes foldable lower aft balconies to create a spacious waterside terrace. This design not only enhances accessibility from the master cabin to the water but also promotes a lifestyle that blends indoor and outdoor living while ensuring privacy.

Revolutionary Asymmetrical Layout
Another groundbreaking aspect of the Galeon 620 FLY is its innovative asymmetrical saloon layout. By eliminating the side deck to port, Galeon has maximized the available floor space, creating a more expansive and inviting interior that fosters a greater connection with the beautiful outdoors.

Industry Recognition and Executive Praise
Todd Holzapfel, Dealer Principal/Director of Alexander Marine, along with Superyacht Sales Executive Martin Hills, had the opportunity to witness the 620 FLY’s global premiere in person. Holzapfel expressed his admiration, stating, “The 620 FLY has certainly delivered on the promise to ‘redefine modern yacht design’ that was made by Galeon Yachts at boot Düsseldorf at the concept reveal earlier this year.”
This recognition and the excitement surrounding the Galeon 620 FLY not only affirm the innovative strides taken by Galeon Yachts but also highlight the brand’s expanding presence in the luxury yacht market, particularly in Australia and New Zealand.
Commitment to Excellence
Having participated in multiple exhibitions this year, including the boot Düsseldorf and Galeon dealer conference in Poland, Holzapfel expressed pride in Galeon Yachts’ focus on innovation and design. Alexander Marine congratulates Galeon Yachts for their remarkable achievements and is enthusiastic about offering Australian and New Zealand yacht owners the exceptional line of Galeon Yachts.
