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.

Enter Starcraft and its delightful SV 16 OB, an all-new-for-2025 family deck boat that elegantly balances comfort, amenities and affordability.

The Erie Canal – An Extraordinary Waterway

By Mark Stevens

As I shift our chartered canal boat into neutral, I’m soothed by the soundtrack of bird calls, the occasional plaintive horn of a distant train and the hum of our engine.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
