Beneteau Barracuda Boats For Sale

The Beneteau Barracuda is a line of outboard-powered pocket cruisers built to combine offshore fishing with cabin comfort, offered in single or twin outboard form and with or without a flybridge. Barracuda boats by Beneteau pair an enclosed pilot house with a fishable cockpit, giving a cruising couple or young family weather protection while keeping center-console-style access around the deck. The two core models are the Beneteau Barracuda 9 and the Beneteau Barracuda 27, both riding on Beneteau's patented Airstep hull, which draws air in from above the hull through cabin-side intakes and channels it under the running surface through dual two-inch ducts to cut drag and lift the boat onto plane quickly.

The Beneteau Barracuda 27 measures 29 feet 2 inches overall with a 9-foot 7-inch beam and a 2-foot 11-inch draft, carries 106 gallons of fuel, and lists a dry weight of 8,254 pounds. On twin 200-horsepower Mercury four-stroke outboards turning 17-inch counter-rotating four-blade stainless props, it reached a top speed of 40.5 mph at 5,300 rpm and a best cruise of 28.5 mph at 4,000 rpm, burning 19.1 gallons per hour for 1.5 mpg and a 142-mile range with a 10% reserve. After Mercury engineers refined the prop set and engine placement, top speed rose to 46 mph and best cruise improved to 26.6 mph at 3,500 rpm, where a 13 gph burn returned 2 mpg and a 193-mile range. The boat planed in 3.7 seconds and reached 20 mph in 7.1 seconds.

The Beneteau Barracuda 9 runs 28 feet 10 inches overall with a 9-foot 9-inch beam and a 2-foot 7-inch draft, weighs 7,053 pounds empty, holds 106 US gallons of fuel and 26 gallons of fresh water, and is rated for 400 maximum horsepower. With twin 225-horsepower Yamaha four-strokes on 19-by-15.25 three-blade props, it hit 47.9 mph at 5,200 rpm and cruised best at 30.1 mph at 3,500 rpm, where a 17.55 gph burn gave 163 miles of range and 5 hours 24 minutes of running on a 10% reserve. At a 4,000 rpm cruise it returned 35.7 mph at 1.6 mpg, with wide-open speed near 50 mph. The Airstep hull held bow rise to about 5 to 10 degrees and planed in an average 3.6 seconds, slicing through heavy chop with a comfortable 15-degree roll into turns.

The Beneteau Barracuda 9 flybridge is the option to look for: the Barracuda 9 fly adds a substantial upper helm with seating for two, full digital instrumentation and an area for a seven-inch display, accessed by a port-side ladder. The lower pilot house carries a 10-inch center display, dark-tinted glass to cut glare, two bucket seats and an aft bench, with a refrigerator below the bench and the electrical panel and battery switch to port. Because the transom is pushed aft to enlarge the cockpit, Beneteau made the whole transom tilt up so the engines can clear the water. Anglers can swap the aft cockpit seat for a rigging station with sink, cutting board and stowage, with locations provisioned for a live well and an under-deck fish box. Hand holds are within reach across the deck and cockpit.

Inside, both Barracudas sleep two in a forward V-berth with a standup or private head; the Barracuda 27 sleeps four total, with a mid-cabin mattress measuring 55 by 74 inches, a galley with a propane stove and sink, and a salon table that lowers to form a dinette. The 27 also uses a twin swim platform flanking the outboards with a four-step reboarding ladder, while the 9 features teak-inlaid bow steps, high freeboard and a hint of Carolina flare for offshore work. Buyers comparing a Beneteau Barracuda 9 for sale against a Beneteau Barracuda 27 should weigh the 9's higher horsepower rating and flybridge option against the 27's twin-200 efficiency, and check whether a given boat carries the optional bow thruster, trim tabs, fishing package and electronics upgrade.
