Prepped for immediate sale, with engine warranty remaining, and used in the
primarily fresh water of the Northern Chesapeake Bay, this is the best available
example of Galeons popular 485HTS!

Reduced 35K, the boat is stored in the water to facilitate a winter sale.

Factory Volvo warranty remains on the IPS 600s which propel the boat at a cruise
of 25 knots and a top speed of 30 knots. The IPS joystick makes docking
incredibly easy and drastically stems the learning curve. Running changes and
upgrades from previous model years included UV tint on the sunroom windows,
increased air conditioning, and the Zipwake automatic interceptor system –
resulting in reduced time to plane and automatic pitch and roll stabilization.
An incredibly versatile sunroom separates the 485HTS from the rest of its class.
The sliding doors disappear into the engine room bulkhead. That coupled with a
massive, aggressively raked sunroof and opening helm window give the feeling of
a totally open cockpit when desired.

A true shipyard where almost all components are made on site, Galeon quickly
become one of the most popular brands in the United States. Built for the rough
waters of the Baltic Sea, Galeons are known for their stout ride thanks in part
to a full fiberglass hull from the waterline to keel. This is not only safer,
but also puts more weight in the keel to better handle all types of sea
conditions.

The bow area is easily accessed from the cockpit with steps on either side and
wide walkways. Customized from new, the sunpad backrests are adjustable and will
incline, creating a chaise-style lounge. A manual bimini easily folds up to keep
the sun pad shaded. The windlass is sunken below a deck hatch, which gives more
deck space and eliminates a large tripping hazard found on most boats.

The cockpit also has teak decks and U-shaped seating with a durable fiberglass
table. The table sits on a hatch that gives access to the tender/toy garage,
without having to go to the swim platform, a feature that is nice when seas or
weather don’t allow for easy or safe swim platform access. A engine room day
hatch sits just outside the sunroom which gives easy access to the Fisher Panda
generator and most all essential breakers. For more involved access, the floor
of the garage opens and gives excellent access to both engines and
transmissions.

The helm deck area is where the 485HTS transforms into one of the most versatile
express cruisers in its class. Two oversized air conditioners keep the captain
and crew cool even on the hottest of days. But, with just the push of buttons,
the helm deck becomes an entirely open area. Both the massive sunroof and
starboard side window retract. Furthermore, the sliding salon doors lower into
the bulkhead, leaving no evidence they are even there. Very few boats, and
almost none in class, allow the helm to be transformed from fully enclosed and
climate controlled, to open. This eliminates the need to decide, when purchasing
a boat, which style is preferred and truly offers the best of both worlds.

To the port side of the sunroom sits a U-shaped companion seating around a
natural teak table. The starboard side has a large console with under-counter
refrigerator and storage. The entire sunroom is teak decked, giving the rich
yacht feel while keeping the floors out of direct UV sunlight and eliminating
wear and tear. The helm is to the starboard side of the sunroom. The helm seat
is double wide with a flip up bolster for standing or sitting. When standing, a
false floor drops down from the helm to add about 4-5” to the helm area and let
the captain stand taller in the boat. An ergonomically laid out helm has a
center steering wheel flanked by stainless steel cup holders. A Raymarine Axiom
unit with AIS and 4kW radome radar sit front and center. The 7” Volvo display is
manufactured by Garmin so it features a chartplotter with preloaded charts,
perfect as a backup, while also providing all engine vitals. Raymarine autopilot
sits to port which will integrate into the chartplotter to follow auto-routing,
which makes long range cruising easy and stress-free even in the worst of
conditions.

Lightning fast, electric trim interceptors automatically deploy to keep the boat
on an even pitch and roll. This is a needed change from the standard hydraulic
trim tabs of previous model years. The IPS Joystick is on the starboard bulkhead
of the helm. The most finite and precise joystick in the market today, IPS makes
docking incredibly easy no matter how the current or wind are affecting the
boat. Having been around for seventeen years, the technology is time tested and
dialed in.

The salon houses a sofa to starboard and a galley forward on the port side of
the boat. The entire salon and galley area have hardwood flooring but also a
removable carpet runner that blankets the entire floor when extra protection is
needed. Large hull side windows and an overhead skylight flood the area with
natural light that can just as easily disappear with wooden blinds and a shade.
Unlike most boats this size, the boat has eight opening portholes below deck,
one of which is center line in the sofa for added air flow when desired. The
salon table can stay closed as a coffee table or open to serve as a dining
table, and the high-low hardware allows it to drop down and through the help of
a filler cushion, convert to another berth. Easy access to the main distribution
panel is on the aft bulkhead, at the captains fingertips immediately entering
the salon from the helm deck. A 32” TV sits on the forward bulkhead of the salon
as well for added comfort when relaxing below deck.

The galley features all the comforts of home. The L-shaped countertop gives lots
of space for preparing and serving meals. Plenty of overhead and under counter
storage give plenty of pantry space and storage for cooking equipment. Well
placed extra galley outlets give the ability to easily set a coffee maker,
blender, etc. The stainless steel, double basin sink is centrally located with
designated storage for the sink cover, when used to increase counter space.
Other appliances include a Kenyon induction cook top, Samsung convection oven,
and under counter refrigerator with freezer.

The master stateroom sits aft of the salon which is a desired layout when it
comes to both size of the stateroom and eliminating “hull slap” of the water. A
centerline, island berth is flanked a decorated Alcantara headboard with
overhead accent lighting, adjustable reading lights, and sconce lighting. A
hanging closet sits on the aft bulkhead of the stateroom while air conditioning
is discharged above the bed, near the ceiling, for effective cooling even on the
hottest of days. Large, scenic hull side windows bathe the stateroom in natural
light, with opening portholes that allow for cross ventilation. To starboard
sits an impressive storage cabinet that spans the entire length of the
stateroom. The settee is on the port side of the boat, perfect for relaxing
separated from the salon in additional privacy while enjoying the 32” TV that
sits on the forward bulkhead.

Much like the day head, the master head houses a full beam, mirrored medicine
cabinet for plenty of storage, opening in three panes. The area is climate
controlled with an air conditioning vent, but also has an opening porthole when
natural ventilation is desired. A basin style sink does not encroach on the
under-counter storage. The separate shower stall has hearty stainless-steel
hardware, hull-side window, and bench seat.

The VIP stateroom sits forward with a mostly walk-around queen berth,
eliminating much of the hassle of making the bed in typical VIP staterooms. Nine
overhead and bedside storage lockers surround the bed giving guests plenty of
storage options, added to by two large drawers under the bed. A large hanging
locker sits to port on the aft bulkhead while the starboard aft bulkhead
features a 24” TV and vanity that can also be used as a desk in today’s age of
remote working. Overhead strip lighting, ceiling lights, and reading lights keep
the stateroom well lit. When natural light is desired, large hullside windows
are revealed by raising the wooden blinds, and a massive overhead skylight can
flood the cabin in natural light. For fresh air, two opening portholes and open
to air the boat out when needed.

The day head is accessed either through the salon or private, ensuite access
from the VIP cabin. It features a basin style sink as to not take storage away
from the cabinet below the countertop. An extra wide, mirrored medicine cabinet
opens to give plenty of storage for toiletries and towels. Another large
hullside window is revealed through the wooden blinds which brightens up the
head when needed. The Tecma head system utilizes a macerator pump instead of a
vacuum pump, which eliminates much of the routine plumbing maintenance resulting
from a vaccuuflush system. The shower area has an extractor fan and air
conditioning vent to aid in air flow. When needed, the porthole can be opened as
well to allow for even more airflow. An extra large shower for a boat of this
size, the beefy stainless steel hardware has a grab handle, shower wand with
holder, and mixing tap.
