Beneteau Barracuda 8

The Barracuda 8 is a highly seaworthy sport fishing boat, thanks to the latest generation of Airstep ® hull. She is protected and also very spacious and welcoming.  A fisher and an adventurer, her Scandinavian spirit makes her perfect for any kind of break.

With her attractive lines and a sturdy reliable profile, the Barracuda 8 has all the qualities of a fisherman’s best friend. Her large starboard walkway makes it easy to move about the boat.  Her easy to access cockpit is entirely modular, with a large choice of options such as the aft fishing station or the sliding seat that enables you to configure the boat to match your requirements.

With upholstery in shades of graphite, red brick curtains, light-coloured oak woodwork, the Barracuda 8 follows the design codes of Scandinavian countries. The choice of teak as a deck covering increases her warm cosy appearance further still. The three door version of the Barracuda 8, with aft sliding door, opens up spaces and creates a flow between the cockpit and the wheelhouse.
