Motor Yachts - Part 4

Beneteau Flyer Gran Turismo 38 with a 12,10 m LOA

Swift Trawler 34, achieves the union between the maritime world and travel culture. 11,14 m LOA, 425 HP engine.

These were the Beneteau samples of Motor Yachts. As most of you knows, this French Yacht Builder Company is one of the most famous sailing yachts builder in Europe. When The time will come and I'm going to show them, you'll love theirs models. I personally liked especially the Ocean 58.

This sleek look and superb design won me entirely. Over 18 m LOA, 3 or 4 cabins + bow cabin, but it's estimated at 400,000 Euros, the new as a baby-born one. See you tomorrow, thought I'll show you more, being Sunday, but that was why I haven't uploaded more.

Motor Yachts - Part Three

I thought and thought and I came to the conclusion that is better to continue with the motor yachts, not disrupting with sails yet. (there is a surprise though, at the end of this post)

An American Company producing motor yachts available in lengths from 30 to 37 feet, based in Rockland, Maine, by the name of Back Cove, was inspired in his designs by the lobster fishing boats.

Back Cove 30 is a LOA 30’ 6” (9.3m) and a standard 315 horsepower 6 cylinder diesel Cummins

Back Cove 34 has a LOA (not including anchor roller or swim platform) 34’4’’ ft (10.46m)

The Back Cove 37 has a LOA (not including anchor roller or swim platform) 38’ ft (11.59m)

Beneteau is considered the leading yacht manufacturer in the world and have been producing vessels since 1884.

Beneteau is known also for his sailing yachts, but now, I'll present here some models of motor yachts and power boats.

With a LOA of 14,8 m and a power of Twins 435 HP Volvo Penta, the overall layout of the MonteCarlo 47 FLY offers two very special living spaces: the cockpit and the luxuriously-appointed flybridge.

 The Beneteau Antares 42 with a Twin Yanmar of 380 HP at a 13,99 m LOA is "perfectly designed for family cruising"(they say). For less than 300,000 Euros for a custom one, this 2 luxurious cabin cruiser is a dream. 
More on Beneteau and other Motor Yachts, later.

A surprise: Bloesma Van Breemen named Valquest (just an avant-premiere of what will be presented on this blog...)

 

  more on this kind of sails combined with power, another time.
