BENETEAU Flyer 32 Makes Her Debut at FLIBS!

Read Andy Adams’ review of the Beneteau Flyer 32

Beneteau Flyer 32

Flagship of the range, the Flyer 32 conceals a real live-aboard powerboat behind a dayboat concept. Stylish and sporty, this large outboard powerboat offers greater thrills and four large living spaces, for everyone to enjoy!

EXTERIOR DESIGN
As pleasant to the eye as she is to live aboard, the Flyer 32 has taut lines attractively accentuated by a full-beam windshield with side panes. The driving station allows four people to face the sea and enjoy all the thrills, with two bolster seats beside the console and a double seat on the port side. The cockpit has increased space and modularity, with foot-rest seats as well as an aft bench that folds back in seconds to form a large sunbathing area overlooking the swim platform. A rigid T-top or bimini can be installed to protect this area.

Featuring the “smart walkaround” concept, the Flyer 32 combines easy movement on board with safety, and with an asymmetric single port walkway, she offers a bigger deck space, with a vast three people sunbathing area, and a unique amount of cabin space.

INTERIOR DESIGN
Bordering on a sport cruiser, the Flyer 32 provides unique living space. The two double berths, divided among a salon cabin and a mid-cabin, mean that you can spend a few nights on board. The boat is truly comfortable with a proper shower room, with a head separate from the shower, in addition to a large storage space at the foot of the stairway. Two long hull windows pleasantly bathe the interior in light.

Neptunus 650F Review

Neptunus 650F 400

By Andy Adams

Over the years Canadian Yachting has had the pleasure of doing several boat review articles on new Neptunus models and we are familiar with the qualities that Neptunus is famous for. They have all been exceptional yachts, but this is the one I would most want to own myself. It’s a personal choice and a matter of taste as to whether you would prefer to have a sedan express model or a flybridge but in my opinion, the flybridge layout offers some wonderful attributes.

We met with Neptunus Managing Director Jan Willem De Jong this past fall to take the new Neptunus 650F out in Lake Ontario.

The Other Virgin Islands

Sunset off St John

By Mark Stevens

I was first seduced by the United States Virgin Islands during a ferry ride from St. Thomas to Tortola to begin one of our earliest British Virgin Islands charters nearly twenty years ago.

A perfect sunset off St. John with St. Thomas views for backdrop.

Clearing Pillsbury Sound, surrounded by voluptuous emerald mountains as the ferry sliced through royal blue waters, I was struck by the unspoiled ambiance of St. John, the island gliding past our starboard beam and the irresistible charm of a village called Cruz Bay visible from our quarter stern.
