Asiamarine has announced the first sale in Asia of Galeon’s 520 Fly, a model that had its world premiere at the 2026 Miami International Boat Show. The 56ft flybridge motoryacht, which could arrive in Asia later this year, will also be the first yacht in the region to feature an interior design by Hong Kong-based In Situ & Partners.

Replacing the iconic 500 Fly that popularised Galeon’s ‘Beach Mode’ with drop-down sides, the 520 Fly includes re-engineered hydraulic balconies, a redesigned foredeck with three seating areas, extended cockpit seating, improved access to the interior, private master-suite access, and separate crew areas and flow.

Michel Joly, Asiamarine’s Dealership Manager, stated: “Securing the first sale of the Galeon 520 Fly in Asia so shortly after its global debut in Miami highlights a clear regional appreciation for forward-thinking yacht design.

“The addition of In Situ & Partners’ sophisticated interior elevates this build to a new level of execution. We congratulate our regional team for this exceptional achievement and look forward to seeing this remarkable vessel on the water.”

In Situ has been designing interiors for Galeon since 2024, with its work first seen on the upgraded 640 Fly, which had its world premiere at Boot Dusseldorf in January 2025. As well as the 520 Fly that debuted this year, the studio designed the interiors of the all-new 620 Fly that debuted at Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2025.

The Hong Kong firm is also working on Galeon’s Skyline sportbridge series including the upcoming 570 Sky, while its interiors – available in a variety of Mediterranean-inspired moods or decors – will be available for the series-flagship 700 Sky from hull nine onwards.

Founded by Yacine Bensalem in 2011, the studio specialises in hospitality, office, retail and residential projects. With Galeon seeking a departure from conventional maritime aesthetics, the new yacht interiors by In Situ include materials and architectural techniques more commonly used in luxury retail and high-end residences rather than traditional naval architecture.

Focused on clean, contemporary lines with soft curves, the interior designs include teak ceilings with mirror-finished stainless-steel inlays, intricate junction details, shadow gaps and concealed light sources that create a refined ambient glow throughout the living spaces. Materials include high-gloss marine lacquers, polished stainless steel, warm walnut and rich teak wood.

“The Galeon 520 Fly is a strategic leap forward from the successful 500 Fly, delivering significantly enhanced liveability, privacy and entertaining capability,” Joly added. “This model directly addresses what Asian owners demand: true indoor-outdoor transformation, privacy for multi-generational cruising, crew separation, elevated bow entertainment and a refined, climate-adapted interior.”
