East Coast Escapes, Elevated Experiences
GALEON 53 is a 2025 Galeon motor yacht based on the Miami River with fold-out terraces on both sides, cruising South Florida, the Keys and Nassau for up to 13 guests by day and four overnight in three staterooms.
Embark on a refined coastal journey aboard this brand-new 2025 motor yacht. Designed for intimate charters along the East Coast of the United States, she offers a sanctuary where modern comforts meet the embrace of the open water. With innovative fold-out beach-club terraces transforming her stern into a sprawling waterside lounge, and an attentive crew of two ensuring every desire is met, she provides a bespoke setting for up to four guests to discover hidden coves and vibrant shores, all while enjoying seamless connectivity and a complimentary drone perspective of their adventure.
A 2025 Galeon that opens up on both sides
GALEON 53 is a 2025-built Galeon motor yacht kept at Riverlanding on the Miami River. Her defining feature is a pair of fold-down terraces: both sides of the hull open outward and bar stools snap into place, turning the main deck into a waterside beach club. The effect is a boat that feels considerably larger than 53 feet, which is why she is a favourite for entertaining groups of up to 13.
Accommodation
Three staterooms sleep four guests — a king cabin, a queen cabin and a twin over-under cabin — served by two en-suite bathrooms. There are no separate crew quarters, so she is best suited to day charters and short overnight runs.
Deck spaces
Beyond the fold-out terraces, the yacht carries a large salon, a fully equipped galley and generous aft and bow lounging. Twin engines give her the speed to reach the Keys or Bimini comfortably inside a day.
On board
Wi-Fi, a BBQ grill, snorkelling gear for four, a floating water mat and floating toys come as standard, and jet ski rental can be arranged locally at $175 per hour. A complimentary drone photo shoot is included in the charter rate.
Cruising grounds
Summer and winter she works the Miami River, Fort Lauderdale, North Miami, the Florida Keys and Nassau in the Bahamas.
“GALEON 53 is a 16.15m · Galeon · built 2025 charter yacht in the Blue Ocean Club fleet. Published specifications list accommodation for up to 4 guests. Current charter planning can be discussed for East Coast United States, subject to the yacht's live availability and cruising permissions.”
A closer look
The Expansive Aft Deck
The stern of this elegant vessel truly redefines waterside living. With a touch, the port and starboard bulwarks fold down, creating vast, teak-clad platforms that extend directly over the ocean. Here, snap-in bar stools invite relaxed conversations over sundowners, while the warm coastal breeze carries the scent of salt and sunshine. It’s an open-air lounge, a private beach club, and a vibrant hub for socialising, all just inches from the water's edge, perfect for soaking up the East Coast panorama.
Inviting Main Saloon
Step inside to a bright, airy main saloon where panoramic windows frame ever-changing seascapes. The carefully curated interior, bathed in natural light, offers a sophisticated yet supremely comfortable space for relaxation or intimate gatherings. Plush seating invites quiet contemplation with a book, while the subtle hum of the air conditioning ensures a consistently pleasant atmosphere, regardless of the coastal warmth. It’s a tranquil retreat designed for ease, where every detail contributes to a sense of understated luxury.
Flybridge Dining & Views
Ascend to the flybridge, an elevated sanctuary offering commanding 360-degree views. This open-air deck becomes the quintessential spot for al fresco dining, where the aroma of a BBQ grill drifts enticingly on the sea air. Imagine enjoying freshly grilled seafood beneath a boundless sky, with the gentle sway of the yacht as your backdrop. It’s a versatile space for sun worship, socialising, or simply absorbing the stunning coastal vistas, far removed from the everyday.
Seamless Connectivity
Despite being miles from shore, stay effortlessly connected with robust Wi-Fi capabilities throughout the yacht. Whether you wish to share breathtaking moments with loved ones, keep abreast of world events, or simply stream your favourite coastal soundtrack, the seamless connectivity ensures you remain in touch. This blend of remote escape and digital access means you can curate your charter experience to be as connected or as unplugged as you desire, without compromise.
Personalised Aerial Memories

Accommodation
Below deck, three thoughtfully designed cabins provide a serene sanctuary for up to four guests. The master suite, a haven of quiet comfort, features a plush berth and ample storage, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a day of coastal exploration. Two further cabins offer flexible arrangements, each appointed with fine linens and a calming colour palette, inviting peaceful slumber. Every space is meticulously crafted to maximise comfort and privacy, allowing each guest to unwind completely within their own personal retreat, enveloped in the gentle rhythm of the sea.
Three staterooms sleeping four guests across a king cabin, a queen cabin and a twin over-under cabin, served by two en-suite bathrooms. No separate crew quarters.
Culinary experiences aboard this yacht are a celebration of fresh, local flavours, expertly prepared to your preference. The versatile dining spaces, from the elegant main saloon to the invigorating flybridge with its integrated BBQ grill, offer distinct ambiances for every meal. Imagine sizzling coastal catches served al fresco as the sun dips below the horizon, or a leisurely breakfast enjoyed with the morning light streaming through panoramic windows. The dedicated crew ensures every dish is a delight, tailored to your tastes, elevating each meal into a memorable occasion.
While a dedicated spa is not present, the entire yacht is a vessel for rejuvenation. The gentle motion of the ocean, the abundant fresh sea air, and the warmth of the sun on the fold-out beach-club terraces naturally foster a sense of wellbeing. Find your inner calm with a morning stretch on the open deck, or simply unwind in the comfort of the main saloon, enjoying the tranquil views. The focus here is on natural restoration, allowing the coastal environment to soothe and revitalise.
The water beckons with an array of playful diversions. Snorkelling gear for all four guests invites exploration of vibrant underwater worlds, revealing the hidden beauty beneath the waves. A floating water mat and an assortment of engaging floating toys provide hours of leisurely enjoyment, perfect for basking in the sun or gentle aquatic play. For those craving an exhilarating burst of speed, a Jet Ski rental is readily available at an hourly rate, promising an adrenaline-infused dash across the open water.
