2019 BARRACUDA 7 OUTBOARD

Barracuda 7 by Beneteau – DUE JULY 2019
The layout of the Beneteau Barracuda 7 revolves around the excellent wheelhouse. Despite the uncompromising protection of its steep screens, it feels impressively bright and expansive, with a large roof hatch, two sliding side doors and an aft window enabling you to transform this platform into something akin to an open boat. You can step out on either side (which means you don’t have to squeeze past one another at the helm) and when you take the wheel, you can either fully protect yourself from the elements or open everything up and feel genuinely in touch with the sea.
The features list on the Barracuda 7 is also very comprehensive. Down below, you get a basic cabin with a separate heads compartment and up top, in addition to twin wipers, a foot brace and a compass, you get a fridge beneath the seat and a sink beneath the navigator’s mini bench. For me, however, the roof is the highlight. Not only does it provide shelter for the occupants and external grab rails for the crew, but it also offers a sliding sunroof with built-in shades. The rooftop rails also offer a telescopic section, enabling you to extend an integrated canvas over the cockpit to protect your aft passengers from the elements – and despite the impressive functionality and the big features list, the forward narrowing of the gap between the straight roof and the rising gunwales also happens to generate a lovely profile. The topside angles look delightfully purposeful and distinctive and even from a distance, it is very easy to pick this boat out from the crowd.
The straightforward walkaround layout is further optimised with some clever space management in the large aft cockpit. Here, the main bench is placed as far back as possible – and while that means it needs to be hinged forward to lift the engine out, it generates enough space for a second aft-facing bench, creating a dining area for seven people. Rather usefully, this second bench is mounted on the aft bulkhead of the wheelhouse, so it can be hinged down, flush with the bulkhead, to open up the deck space for use as a obstruction-free fishing area.
