The new Flyer range is the result of a daring choice in terms of design and technology. In 2016, two new large models are being introduced. The Flyer 8.8 SUNdeck and SPACEdeck mark the culmination of a complete renewal of the Beneteau outboard range. A winning generation from start to finish, regularly ranking No. 1 in trials and winner of many prizes worldwide.
Immediately recognisable by their highly distinctive design, both versions of the Flyer 8.8 SPACEdeck and SUNdeck have winning lines.
Wide bow, profiled lateral struts and elegant windshield design mark the style of this outboard which stands out above the rest. The same hull design supports two very different deck plans and interiors, each having B8 / C11* approval respectively: a remarkable feat for this type of craft. Marvels of technology, both of the new Flyer 8.8s stand apart when it comes to performance underway. With the latest generation of AirStep hulls, they can take engines of up to 500 hp. Piloting remains an enormous pleasure on this type of craft, both models of the Flyer 8.8 combining sensations, comfort and safety to perfection.
The SUNdeck version of the Flyer 8.8 will be on show at the upcoming Cannes Yachting Festival.
Habitability, relaxation and living comfort have been pushed as far as they can be. The spacious aft bench seat is particularly comfortable and easily converts into a big sunbathing area. Great attention has been paid to detail. On the foredeck, a solarium with two mattresses and headrests along with cup holders. Elegant and exceptionally spacious, the interior of the Flyer 8.8 is presented in warm tones of brown and wine. With its side glazing, sky-view deck hatch and ventilation ports, in its night-time configuration, the fore cabin sleeps two comfortably, converting to a vast saloon in the daytime where many people can gather around the table. The fittings come into their own: a quality worktop, refrigerator, microwave oven, a separate washroom with toilet and shower, together with the mid-cabin aft. Although this is still a day-boat, the interior layout, quality of the finish and the fittings of the Flyer SUNdeck 8.8 mean that a wide range of programmes can be considered with confidence.
Come and see the SPACEdeck version of the Flyer 8.8 at the next Nautic boat show in de Paris 2016.
Admire the extent to which the deck has been opened up and the very spacious the interior. The central protective driving station can accommodate up to three people. There is a handy little kitchen area too. Amateurs of open-sea fishing may prefer the fishing station with its live fish tank and work table replacing the large cockpit bench seat, which converts into a sun-lounger. On the fore deck, the huge saloon has two bench seats with L-shaped seats, a sun-lounger and lots of stowage space. In offering a large interior cabin with a separate toilet and a mid-cabin, the Flyer 8.8 SPACEdeck has surpassed itself. You can move about comfortably on this Flyer, making the most of life at sea!
