We tested Beneteau Swift Trawler 35, and it’s more than before
On a chopped sea the new Beneteau Swift Trawler 35 confirms a rather good seaworthiness and enhances the livability of the previous 34. Trawlers are very specific boats indeed, even the semi-planing ones that we see lately: if you love sleek look, tapered lines and cruising at 50 knots, then just skip this page. But…

Beneteau Gran Turismo 50 Fly: three decks are better than two?
After our test of the Hard Top version, here’s the Beneteau Gran Turismo 50 Fly. Is the flybridge necessary? It depends on your taste. And for somebody it can’t be replaced. It is perhaps the climate of the Barcelona coast, the last autumn sun, but staying on the flybridge while I test the new Beneteau…

Beneteau Barracuda 6, here’s our test of a small pêche promenade
We tested the new Beneteau Barracuda 6: a boat made for anglers, although their friends will enjoy themselves as well. Provided they don’t love to sun bathe. Beneteau Barracuda 6 is the key model in the range, and the stage reserved to it with the Barracuda Tour is the seal of a generalized consensus in…

New in 2018: Scarab 255 Open winks to the Mediterranean Sea
As an evolution of 255 bowrider, Scarab 255 Open combines the same refined solutions like the waterjet propulsion with a more European look. The “European care” by Beneteau, which is in charge of Scarab’s distribution in the Old Continent, has had the effect of evolving these authentic Yankee icons on a more Mediterranean taste, without…

Beneteau Gran Turismo 50 HT: charme and comfort will take you far away
Nuvolari & Lenard and Andreani Design have done an excellent job: Beneteau Gran Turismo 50 HT is an invitation to never get back on land. If the goal was to create a boat that would keep you on board, I believe that it was centered in full. In particular on this Beneteau Gran Turismo 50…

Beneteau Swift Trawler 30: a praise to essentiality
Aboard the small Beneteau Swift Trawler 30 everything is essential, yet smartly made. It’s a boat that you need to understand first. Going for a trawler is like choosing the battlefield. Even more so in the case of this Beneteau Swift Trawler 30. Nine meters, one engine, a single cabin…it seems there’s nothing thrilling about…

Beneteau Gran Turismo 40: GT for families
The sporty attitude of Beneteau Gran Turismo 40 matches a livability normally seen on proper family cruisers. Maybe it’s that GT in the name of Beneteau Gran Turismo 40 which can be confusing. Because at the end of the day this cruiser from the French boatyard is made for comfortable navigation. And despite there’s no…

Grand Pavois de La Rochelle: Beneteau Barracuda 8
The French builder Beneteau expands their fishing boats offer with Barracuda 8: more centimeters mean more livability. The new Beneteau Barracuda 8 confirms the trend from the French builder, offering more space onboard but keeping (if not strengthening) the vocation of a proper fishing boat. So it’s no surprise the choice to debut it during…
