Overview
The Barracuda 9 from Beneteau is a distinctive vessel designed to blend fishing capabilities with cruising comfort. Featuring a unique cabin layout and a twin-engine outboard configuration, this boat aims to provide versatility for both recreational and offshore fishing activities. Its design incorporates innovative elements that set it apart from conventional boats in its class.
Exterior Design and Hull Features
One of the most notable aspects of the Barracuda 9 is its airstep hull, which differs significantly from traditional stepped hulls. Instead of drawing air from the sides, the airstep system intakes air from above the hull through cabin side intakes, channeling it underneath via dual two-inch ducts to the low-drag running surface. This design enhances handling and fuel efficiency. The hull profile includes multiple lifting strakes leading to a hard reverse chine, contributing to stability and performance. At the stern, the engine well is positioned eight inches above the keel and extends six and a quarter inches outward. The test boat was equipped with optional trim tabs and a bow thruster, enhancing maneuverability. The cockpit deck is finished with hardwood and incorporates channels directing water to dual three-inch drains that expel water overboard. Additional exterior features include hardwood cap rails with hawse holes leading to cleats beneath the bulwarks, 14.5-inch side decks narrowing to nine inches with the optional flybridge, and elevated foredeck design to facilitate easier ground tackle operation. The bow houses two deep, self-draining compartments with hardwood inlays and a standard windlass with remote control. Unique forward steps with wood inlays enable convenient bow-first disembarkation.
Pilot House and Helm Layout
The Barracuda 9 is equipped with an enclosed pilot house featuring expansive wraparound windows with narrow mullions, ensuring excellent visibility. The helm station includes a fiberglass console finished in gunmetal gray to minimize glare and reflections. Instrumentation consists of Yamaha multifunction digital gauges and digital engine controls, with trim tab controls positioned conveniently beneath the gauges. Electronics are ergonomically angled toward the operator. The upper helm on the flybridge mirrors the lower helm's layout and finish, accommodating a 9-by-12-inch panel suitable for a 12-inch diagonal display. While the flybridge helm is less suited for standing operation, it offers comfortable seated control with well-placed instruments. The pilot house also includes opening side doors on both port and starboard sides, enhancing ventilation and facilitating single-handed docking.
Performance and Handling
The Barracuda 9 measures 28 feet 10 inches in length overall, with a beam of 9 feet 9 inches and a draft of 2 feet 7 inches. The test weight, including three-quarters fuel and five people aboard, was 9,691 pounds. Powered by twin 225 horsepower Yamaha four-stroke engines turning 19 by 15¼-inch three-bladed propellers, the boat achieved a top speed of 47.9 miles per hour at 5,200 RPM, consuming 44.15 gallons per hour and providing a range of approximately 103 miles. Under better sea conditions, speeds exceeding 50 miles per hour are anticipated. The boat exhibits low sensitivity to trim adjustments; increasing trim improves speed without significantly altering the boat's attitude. Optimal cruising speed was recorded at 30.1 miles per hour at 3,500 RPM, with a fuel burn of 17.55 gallons per hour, allowing for a 5 hour 24 minute range of 163 miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve. Acceleration is brisk, with a time to plane of 3.6 seconds, 20 miles per hour reached in 5.4 seconds, 30 miles per hour in 8.4 seconds, and 40 miles per hour in 12.6 seconds. The airstep hull contributes to minimal bow rise during acceleration, maintaining a nearly level attitude. Handling in heavy chop was notably smooth, with the boat slicing through waves comfortably and exhibiting a gentle motion. The Barracuda 9 demonstrates a comfortable 15-degree roll into turns without significant speed loss and executes tight turns without propeller ventilation. Despite closely spaced engines, low-speed maneuverability is excellent.
Additional Features and Practical Considerations
The inclusion of an enclosed pilot house extends the boating season by providing protection from the elements, allowing earlier and later operation in the year. The elevated foredeck and convenient bow steps improve ease of use during docking and anchoring. Hardwood finishes throughout the cockpit and deck areas add a touch of refinement typically found on larger yachts. The combination of high freeboard and a sweeping sheer line enhances offshore safety. Overall, the Barracuda 9 offers a comfortable layout and practical features that make it a capable offshore fishing platform.
Conclusion
The Barracuda 9 from Beneteau presents a well-rounded package that successfully integrates fishing functionality with cruising comfort. Its innovative airstep hull delivers improved fuel efficiency and handling, while the enclosed pilot house provides protection and extended usability. Performance metrics demonstrate strong acceleration, respectable top speeds, and stable handling even in challenging sea conditions. Practical design elements such as elevated decks, hardwood finishes, and thoughtful ergonomics further enhance the boating experience. This vessel stands out as a versatile and capable choice for anglers and cruisers seeking a reliable offshore platform.
