The Galeon 570 SKY, officially unveiled on 10 August 2026, advances the Skydeck concept with a 17.55-metre overall length, a folding upper-helm, and expanding Beach Mode balconies. The yacht features a three-cabin interior designed by In Situ & Partners, powered by Volvo Penta engines ranging up to 1,800hp.

The new 570 SKY, unveiled by the Polish builder, runs 17.55 metres overall and takes that hybrid idea further than any Skydeck model before it, folding a full second helm station away behind a hardtop's clean lines.

Galeon's Skydeck range dates back to 2010, and the whole concept has always leaned on the same trick: a low-profile hardtop hiding an upper-deck helm and lounge that only reveals itself once you're aboard. The 570 SKY earns its coupé billing through an electrically folding centre console, with dedicated driver and passenger seats that deploy when wanted and disappear when they're not. Owners can drive from a standing position too, and a fridge tucked between the seats keeps drinks within reach. It's the same idea Galeon builds across the whole range, the smaller 470 SKY runs an identical concept with a beam that grows from 4.37 metres to 5.66 metres in Beach Mode, a noticeably smaller reach than the 570 SKY's own figures. Down on the main deck, an opening sunroof sits above the primary helm, and a skipper's side door gives direct access to the side deck for close-quarters manoeuvring.

Beach Mode is Galeon's name for the yacht's other signature move, a set of hydraulically operated balconies that fold outward from the hull to widen the usable deck space the moment you drop anchor. With them deployed, Galeon's press release lists the 570 SKY's beam growing from 4.82 metres to 6.874 metres, a wide leisure platform sitting almost at the waterline. The builder's own specification table gives slightly different figures, 4.55 metres to 6.87 metres, and the site itself flags that some technical data is still being calibrated, so treat both as close rather than final. Sliding windows on both sides and a convertible bar built into the portside galley tie that outdoor platform straight back into the interior.

The galley is deliberately part of that social run rather than a room apart, with a full-size fridge, induction cooktop, oven, grill, microwave and stainless sink sitting alongside a starboard sofa with a folding backrest. Below, the three-cabin layout, master, forward and guest, shares two bathrooms, with the Atlantic Design Package, developed exclusively for this model by Insitu & Partners Studio, running coordinated painted finishes, wooden wall strips and leather through all three. The master cabin gets a curved ceiling and a wooden headboard of its own.

At the stern, the boat can be configured three ways. A Skipper Aft Cabin option converts the space into single-berth crew quarters, while the optional Carousel Mode Package turns it into a hydraulically opening tender garage with a rotating seat, storage and a table on lowerable legs. Forward, there's a sofa and broad sunpads with storage underneath.

Four Volvo Penta shaft-drive packages cover the performance side, from twin D11-670 engines at 670hp each up to twin D13-900 units delivering a combined 1,800hp. A 2,200-litre fuel capacity backs the longer-range ambitions, and integrated wind tunnels help manage airflow and cut lateral movement underway.
