Beneteau Flyer Boats For Sale

The Beneteau Flyer line is a range of outboard-powered day boats and weekenders built around the brand's Air Step hull, which introduces air beneath the running surface to break the water loose for a drier, more efficient ride. Most models are offered in two deck plans: the Spacedeck, a single-level center console laid out for fishing, water sports and open-deck entertaining, and the Sundeck, which adds a cuddy cabin and foredeck sun pad for cruising and overnighting. That two-configuration approach helps a buyer match a single hull to how the family actually boats, and both versions carry an enclosed head. Anyone shopping for a Beneteau Flyer for sale is choosing primarily between those layouts and across hull sizes from roughly 26 to 34 feet.

The Beneteau Flyer 8 measures 26 feet 10 inches, just over 8 meters, and weighs about 6,100 pounds with outboard and full fuel, making it trailerable behind a large SUV. The Beneteau Flyer 8 Spacedeck is the center console version, with a live well and transom bait prep, fish-box storage, an optional tow pylon, two unusually long boarding platforms flanking the engine, and a four-step ladder that reaches over 22 inches below the surface. The Beneteau Flyer 8 Sundeck swaps that open bow for a cuddy with a wrap-around banquette and table that drops for a berth, plus a 360-degree cockpit that seats eight. Both are rated for a single outboard up to 350 horsepower. A Flyer 8 Sundeck rigged with a Mercury 300 Verado V8 runs in the mid-40s mph and has been priced around $150,000 in the water with safety gear; its head includes a holding tank with overboard discharge.

The Flyer 23 Spacedeck shares this 26-foot center console concept, with a length overall of 26 feet 7 inches, an 82-inch trailerable beam and a 21-inch draft engine-down. On a 300 hp Mercury Verado 4.6L V8 with a 16x18 prop, it reaches a top speed of 47.4 mph at 5,800 RPM, while best economic cruise of 25.5 mph at 3,500 RPM returns 3 mpg and a range near 250 miles from its 92-gallon fuel capacity, holding a 10 percent reserve. It planes in about 3.8 seconds and seats up to 10. A 350 hp option is available.

The Beneteau Flyer 10 is the cruising flagship at 34 feet long and 11 feet wide. Power comes from twin Mercury V8 outboards; with twin 300 hp engines it cruises around 32 mph at a little over 1 mpg and tops out near 46 mph, and a twin 350 hp Verado setup reaches roughly 38 knots. An optional joystick eases docking, and Zip Wake interceptor trim, controlled by a single twist dial, levels the ride underway. The 11-foot-wide cockpit centers on a solid teak table that converts to a sun pad under a retractable sun shade, with a starboard galley holding a pop-up sink, Kenyon grill top and refrigerator.

Below, the Flyer 10 sleeps in two cabins, including a full-beam, air-conditioned aft berth and a convertible forward V-berth, served by a split head with an electric flush toilet, standup shower and hot water heater, plus a refrigerator and microwave. When choosing a Flyer, weigh open bow against cuddy, single versus twin outboards, and the 300 or 350 hp rating; the Sundeck suits owners who want sun protection and a weekender, while the Spacedeck favors fishing and day fun.
