Beneteau 34: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Beneteau Flyer GT34 is designed to combine sport boat handling with the comfort and protection of an enclosed sport coupe layout. The design team aimed to deliver a vessel that offers both dynamic performance and spacious accommodations, making it suitable for a variety of boating activities.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The bow area features a 30-inch (76.2 cm) rail height, providing safety and security. A hatch conceals the standard Lumar windlass, with an adjacent open compartment allowing easy access to the anchor rode. The design cleverly directs water overboard to prevent water ingress into the compartment. An optional bow sun pad is available, featuring a removable cutout that allows natural light to filter into the lower deck. The massive single-piece windshield is a standout feature, equipped with twin pantograph windshield wipers and integrated washers. Access to the side decks is facilitated by molded handholds along the hardtop, and steps on both sides lead down into the cockpit. The cockpit door opens inward, a thoughtful safety feature that prevents accidental falls overboard. The cockpit itself includes a port-side C-shaped seating area with a wood table that expands for dining, and a comfortable starboard lounger with dedicated storage underneath for a life raft. Engine compartment access is provided via a hatch beneath the table, though it could be improved for easier daily checks. Forward on the port side, an entertainment center includes a standard sink, optional electric grill, space for a carry-on cooler, and an optional 42-liter refrigerator.
Helm and Bridge Features
The helm station is well laid out, combining analog gauges with Volvo Penta EVC digital displays. An angled panel below the upper gauges offers convenient storage, while rocker switches are positioned to the left, though the blower switch was absent on the test boat. A centrally mounted optional Simrad navigation display integrates with the VHF AIS system. The controls are ergonomically placed, facilitating ease of use, especially when maneuvering, and the optional bow thruster proved valuable when backing into a slip against a cross current. The helm seat is double-wide with a flip-up bolster and includes a footrest. Visibility is optimal from a seated position; standing requires opening the large sunroof but may be hindered by the overhead frame. Ventilation is excellent, with two opening side windows. The companionway is surrounded by smoked glass, enhancing natural light in the lower deck.
Interior Living Spaces
Descending below deck, the interior is bright and functional. Immediately to port is a wet head featuring an overhead hatch with privacy screen, an opening port light, and a basin-type sink atop the counter, which provides additional storage below. A pull-up sprayer allows for showering, and ample storage surrounds the area. Forward of the head is a settee with a high-low table that converts naturally into a berth. Two hull-side windows and an overhead hatch (aligned with the sun pad above) provide light and ventilation. The flooring is marine-grade wood laminate, available in oak or mahogany finishes. Storage cabinets flank the seating area, and a privacy curtain can enclose the space. The galley is well equipped with large upper cabinets capable of holding full-size dinner plates, additional storage beneath an opening port light, a single basin stainless steel sink, and a recessed two-burner stove. Raised edges on the counter help contain spills, and below is further storage and a refrigerator. A privacy door aft leads to the stateroom.
Private Accommodations
The aft stateroom is surprisingly spacious, allowing for comfortable sitting with approximately 3 feet 5 inches (just over 1 meter) of overhead clearance above the berth. Storage options include bookshelves and a hanging locker, while opening port lights provide light and ventilation. The privacy door to this area would benefit from a magnetic latch to keep it open when desired.
Conclusion
Overall, the Beneteau Flyer GT34 presents a well-executed sport coupe design that balances performance with comfort and functionality. Its spacious interior, thoughtful exterior features, and ergonomic helm layout make it a versatile and roomy vessel for its size, suitable for both day cruising and extended outings.
