Scott Roberton celebrates 30 years with MarineMax this year. He's also the recipient of several awards from major yacht manufacturers. To say he knows his way around a luxury yacht would be an understatement.

Scott has worked with clients around the globe to customize vessels to suit individual tastes and lifestyles. In one of his more recent projects, he worked with the owner on a custom build of the flagship Galeon 800 FLY Hull #1. From interior furnishings and contemporary art deco design to accent lighting and appliances.

Scott comments, "Working with Galeon on Hull #1 was a pleasure as we fine-tuned the systems at the factory before the boat came to the United States. Once the boat arrived in the US the dedicated Galeon team from MarineMax was exceptional to work with and the knowledge of the brand that they bring to the table made this a seamless delivery to the owner."

The Galeon 800 FLY combines a sporty silhouette and impressive performance with a sense of space and luxury previously reserved only for mega yachts. The subtle design that is noticeable at first glance, expressed in soft lines and rounded structural elements, we owe to unparalleled design masters from Tony Castro. She boasts tremendous volume and plentiful seating throughout along with impressive stonework and carbon fiber structure.
