Flyer 12 Southampton, UNITED KINGDOM

Beneteau Flyer 12 (2008) – The Ultimate All-Weather 40ft Cruiser with Twin Volvo D4-300hp (Shaft Drive) | Professional Refit 2022 | 640 Hours

This Beneteau Flyer 12 is a standout example of a highly capable, all-weather sports cruiser. Having undergone a full professional refurbishment in 2022, she presents in "near-new" condition, combining the rare and desirable twin shaft drive configuration with a modern, high-spec interior.

Unlike many Flyer 12s equipped with IPS pods, this vessel features the reliable Twin Volvo D4 300hp on shafts, offering simpler maintenance and excellent sea-keeping. With just 640 hours and a comprehensive service history, she is a turn-key option for family cruising.
