New Beneteau Barracuda 7: two versions, further options
Just launched at Boot Düsseldorf , the new Beneteau Barracuda 7 features two layouts and over 30 options to fit any boater.
A revised hull, new fishing post, larger wheelhouse with the option to have it totally open, trailer-ready: the new Beneteau Barracuda 7 is even more comfortable and professional (for anglers) than her predecessors. In particular, the hull collects all the experience of the French shipyard in designing planing hulls for outboard engines, ensuring rapid plane and stable navigation, without compromising the speed performance to quickly reach the fishing grounds. The engine will be a single outboard with power ranging from 150 to 200 HP which, combined with a 200 liter tank, ensure a pretty long range .
Plenty of space aboard Beneteau Barracuda 7
Beneteau Barracuda 7 redefines her volumes in every corner: the wheelhouse to starboard enjoys a full view thanks to the large glazing and the side doors that allow quick access to both side decks. The pilot station sports two bucket seats, with the chance to rotate so to serve the aft dinette that, with the classic sliding glass, is directly connected to the cockpit and with the fishing station. Alternatively, for those with a cruising attitude, you can opt for a full-beam bench and use the two side ports to connect with the outside. Common to both versions is the forward cabin with double berth and toilet. 
For a boat mainly targeted to fishing enthusiasts, the outdoor area is fundamental, and it's here that Beneteau Barracuda 7 plays her cards. The cockpit layout and equipment, developed on the experience and long tradition of previous Barracudas, has everything you need for a gaming tour, still offering a cozy and comfortable space for those who just want to spend a relaxing day at sea. Who will also appreciate the fore deck with two side benches and forward facing seat. Beneteau Barracuda 7 will be offered in three trim levels: Fishing Edition Barracuda Tour (inspired by the fishing competition that the French shipyard organizes every year for their owners), Cruising Edition, and Essential. In addition to all the fishing gear, the new model can have bow thruster, electric winch, and another thirty-some options to ensure a full degree customization.
