Overview

"I want the biggest day boat I can run on one engine — and I want the kids to have somewhere to change."

Who this boat is for

Owner-drivers and families who want a real 26-footer for swim days with up to ten aboard, a cabin and a proper head for the kids or a change of clothes — and one outboard to maintain, not two.

Hisham's take

The Flyer 8 SUNdeck v2 is the sweet spot of Beneteau's Flyer range: 8.17 m overall on a 2.53 m beam, rated CE C10 / D10 for ten people, and driven by a single outboard up to 350 HP. The forward sundeck converts from sunbathing to seating without tools, the cockpit runs aft to a swim platform, and below deck there is a cabin with a convertible double and a separate head — unusual honesty at this length. Fuel is 340 L, water 80 L, and lightship weight is 2,251 kg without the engine, which keeps it in reach of a trailer and a small berth. The PILOT EDITION adds the grey hull, T-top decoration, sport wheel, underwater lights and bolster seats; the Comfort trim brings the electric windlass, extended swim platform and cabin fridge. Air draught is 2.45 m with the T-top.
