The best of both worlds.
By Ken Kreisler
With her eye-catching naval architecture by Beneteau Power and the striking interior by Style & Design, the new Beneteau Flyer 32 presents herself as an exciting, innovative and visionary boat that will fulfill the needs for a wide variety of owners.
“The whole emphasis on the Flyer 32 is to make it more than a dayboat,” says Don Smith, sales manager for Beneteau’s outboard division. “This design is the bridge to an express cruiser.”
Step aboard via the swim platform’s starboard-side safety gate and you’re greeted by wide-open spaces designed for comfort and enjoyment. The roomy cockpit area features a wraparound couch with an accompanying table. There is a deck galley to starboard offering a refrigerator, sink, twin burners, oven, storage below and a small countertop sitting right behind the helm. The helm itself — well-laid-out for both form and function — has a copilot seat and a comfortable double seat to port.
“Sociability is a key component and was in sharp focus in the exterior layout design,” Smith adds.
With access forward by way of the port side — a design feature that supplies more space to the bow entertainment area — the bow seating/sunpad offers an exciting place to relax at anchor.
“While not sacrificing any of her dayboat amenities, the Flyer 32 also presents an interior with all the comfort for extended times away from home,” Smith says.
With accommodations for four in two cabins, one forward and one amidships, you and your guests can spend the evening on the hook or at the dock after a day’s cruise. With ample storage areas and cabinets, you can take whatever you need along and still have plenty of room for all your gear.
Choosing from an extensive list of optional equipment, such as air conditioning, fiberglass hardtop, teak decking and depending on your power choices Mercury DTS controls or Joystick Piloting you can customize your Flyer 32 to your individual needs. With her patented AIRSTEP hull design for the running surface, your performance, safety and comfort come standard.
“The Flyer series are known as dayboats, and with this boat, the blend of dayboat and express cruiser is complete,” Smith concludes.
