Alex your enthusiasm and being prepared to get down on your hands and knees to show us in this case the LED lights on the floors. You really get into the nitty gritty of the boat from the grill, seating, the glass gullels, the inner cabin and bed. You point outt the good the bad and the ugly but if there a solution you point it out. Good review and you do justice to this boat. Thank you.

Great reviewer...who is this guy ..and why hasn't he been presenting from the beginning.... The way he brushed off the dirt from the chairs to him kneeling down to show the lights...I felt like I was getting a tour from the owner and not just some run of the mill reviewer... I also like that he actually sits down to give you perspective on how many people can fit in etc .... More of the same please

Alex, your reviews are getting better and better. I'm impressed with the amount of info you get through in such short videos.

[@jackmorgan1677]

It's 'getting better' but not there yet. I'm looking at the presenter 70% of the time and not the boat features. Also, he talk about something and looks pondering at something else. His presentation is too chaotic. He should study how Nick from Aquaholic does it and learn from that.

[@nicbennett6554]

Great tour and sea trial. Really nice boat and refreshing to hear a price as you’d buy it rather than ‘from’…. Thanks!

[@Delvis343]

One of the best reviews I’ve ever seen! Great video. Alex is personable, clear, and knowledgeable. Great boat too.

[@mantas6293]

amazing presentation, by Alex! such a fresh breeze, compared to others who basically follow a template and rush through everything making all their boat reviews look same and even boats presented seem all a like.. very interesting package by Galeon. seems that every brand offers something to such format of the boat (Bavaria Vida (former Greenline Neo), Beneteau Gran Turismo 32, Searay 320, ..), but having a proper bow table with seating and not just a sunbed looks really cool.

[@dtutssel]

Always good to see a boat taken out for a proper review.

[@jackmorgan1677]

He raises the aft sun bed but films it from the wrong angle. His presentation is very chaotic and put me off in the end.

[@erinrosehallett]

What a fantastic review, superb presentation

[@themarinechannel]

Alex, thanks for the tour, indeed great packaging.....a very sociable boat, nice.

[@andrebrammer2214]

Great video...and finally the music was on point.

[@craiggibson2062]

Really good review from a proper journalist 😊

[@clifbradley]

A dayboat Alex likes? Must be amazing

[@cookiemonster2299]

Very nice boat and a great review. 👍❤️🇬🇧

[@KevLaj]

I often want to make sharp turns at 25+ knots. Useful info.

[@Bottna]

Nice boat.

[@willtekata1763]

I like it

[@ironichumorist]

great review and well presented. is automatic trim an option available on this model?

[@brettsawyer1527]

Yes and it is fitted to the test boat

[@jakefatman4876]

Now we have more and more these ” balconies”. How they will perform after 10 years 🤔. Is the mechanism durable🤔

[@MrArchie800]

I thought the same initially but in reality it is very simple commonplace engineering e.g. hydraulic power rams and switches - albeit with a more novel application. I'd be more worried about boats with a power sun roof as that is a more complicated and bespoke mechanism (and we all know these are problematic even on premium brands - and expensive to fix).

[@sim_only]

This is a masterclass in how boat reviews should be. Any review without a sea trial is pointless. Great work!

[@ianscott3180]

Couldn't agree more. 10 or 5 minutes of looking into every locker is not what I call a review.

[@jackmorgan1677]

Disagree with that...

[@sirmurf]

Loving the subtitles. I want a boat made by sex door.

[@Zzzz...7]

Big Bottom My boat's got 'em 379,000€(!) What a Big Bottom! 🤣

[@origin178]

Great presenter, poor "Dad's home video" wobbly camera work, again. At the very least, use a camera with IBIS or fix it to a gimbal for the walkabout shots.

[@RT-np5ws]

Boat or a night club

[@justice1justice167]

Sale it to Russians we don’t have no more money
