Beneteau has introduced the new Flyer 30, a next-generation day boat designed to combine elegant styling, coastal capability and flexible social spaces. The model will make its debut at three major boat shows in 2026 and 2027.
The new Flyer 30 will be shown at the Newport International Boat Show from September 17 to 20, 2026, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show from October 28 to November 1, 2026, and BOOT Düsseldorf from January 23 to 31, 2027.
A new direction for the Flyer range
Beneteau says the Flyer 30 is aimed at owners who want the sociability and simplicity of a day boat, but also the confidence to go beyond protected waters. The model is intended for spontaneous outings, time at anchor, longer coastal trips and evenings on board.
The boat is presented as a more versatile interpretation of the day boat concept, with greater space and a stronger sense of connection between the different areas on board.
Performance and protection for coastal cruising
At the center of the Flyer 30 is a design focused on performance, protection and comfort. Its patented SVVT (Stepped Vee Ventilated Tunnel) twin-step hull is designed to improve lift and efficiency, deliver predictable handling and maintain balanced weight distribution for smoother performance.
With twin outboard engines and a 210 US gal fuel tank, the Flyer 30 is built to provide the power, responsiveness and range needed for longer trips and coastal navigation. A generous freeboard adds comfort and security, while the full-height windscreen offers greater protection at speed.
Layout built around social spaces
The Flyer 30 uses a single-level, asymmetrical deck layout intended to make movement on board easier and more natural. Beneteau says the design improves circulation, opens sightlines and strengthens the link between the boat’s living areas.
Key features include a wrap-around bow lounge, flexible aft seating, a helm area with three seats, a full windscreen, integrated social spaces with a wet bar, and console access to an interior space with head facilities for added comfort during longer days on the water.
Contemporary styling with a familiar identity
The new model introduces a fresh design language for the Flyer range while remaining aligned with Beneteau’s design-driven heritage. Its hull lines, hardtop, open sightlines and floating roof element are intended to create a balanced and confident profile on the water.
Soft tonal palettes, low-contrast textures, premium upholstery and durable marine-grade materials complete the interior and exterior finish. Beneteau describes the result as a boat that feels contemporary and sophisticated without losing its approachable character.
