With the flybridge located well aft, there's space over the lower helm for the sliding sunroof.

Snapshot Galeon 560 Skydeck

With the 560 Skydeck, Galeon designed a boat that has the sporty lines of a hardtop express cruiser and the functionality of a flybridge in one attractive boat. Up top, the flybridge helm is centrally and there’s a plethora of lounges where passengers can stretch out. From the aft cockpit, wide sidedecks lead to the bow area where there are adjustable seats. Inside, the main deck has a galley aft and it’s a step up to the dining and leisure areas, which are on the same level as the lower helm. A glass hardtop overhead slides aft to give the area a spacious feel. Belowdecks, the master stateroom is positioned amidships with its own private head. The VIP cabin in the bow and aft guest quarters share the second head.
