    I got to be honest. This is the best yacht I've ever seen
  • good to see you producing content again, jack. had to go over the linkedin to see where you had gone. been waiting for your uploads to begin. well done. looking forward to the new venture.
  • @sdoubleu210
    Easily the best piece I've seen on this model to date and another great production from Jack/Yachtbuyer - this channel is awesome
  • @paulnabbs9112
    I always looked forward to your reviews previously especially the sea trials as they stood out from anything else that was on offer.But this has taken it to a new level, keep them coming Jack. In my opinion this is by far the most practical, informative and in depth review channel available.
  • Great video Jack, love the data overlay at the beginning. Great to see someone giving a price breakdown form basic to all the whistles. Keep them coming !
  • love the format, enjoy you videos in your pervious life so thought would review this one. I agree with all you have said especially the flybridge driving experience.
  • I’ve been spending time on an older Galeon 530 and this is like an updated version of it with the right updates, for example that the galley is moved to the back. Also, awesome to see Jack back doing more reviews 👍🏻 Was sad to see you leave Motorboat & Yachting.
  • @ChrisMaveric
    Bravo on the yacht and the review... absolute value at every turn!. Nicely done.
  • Love Galeon, its the swiss army knife of boats...Its just so innovative. One talks about "smartphones" well The Galeon 500 is definitely a smart yacht. I personally have a Windy GM37 but seriously considering a change. Thanks for all your fabulous videos, great work guys... Huge thumbs up👍
  • @Irnwkr28
    I love the modern look, and the interior is spot on. The price is great as well.
  • @EdwardTilley
    Focusing on these Galeons is a smart move. These things are absolutely incredible.
  • @120Livi
    So glad to find your new home on YT Jack! These videos are great. Keep it up!
  • @AlVlogs1603
    Another comprehensive review Jack love the fact that pricing is included and explained
  • Impressive value for the money. I like the lay out of accomodation n all areas.
  • @MrArchie800
    Great to see a review that includes a sea trial. I have to admit the 500 Fly is my ambition boat as it seems to punch well above its weight in terms of what it offers for the money. There are some great deals too - I saw some offers earlier in the year starting around 750k, which is a lot of boat for the money. You asked for feedback on your vid and the only thing I could add is a very small thing, and is that you are quite serious, so maybe have a few lighter moments and show more of your personality (not a criticism though). Also there were a couple of spaces I'd have liked a closer look at e.g. the sun pads at the front of the fly bridge, the tender garage and maybe a more detailed shot of the saloon. Great stuff! Subscribed! Keep 'em coming!!
  • 2:08 I've always thought with blind spots like that it would be easy to have a camera with an 8 inch screen attached to the mullion to make the mullion virtually invisible. 👍❤️🇬
