The Beneteau Figaro 3 2019 vs Beneteau Flyer Gran Turismo 34 2011 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Beneteau Figaro 3 2019 measures 36,0 feet overall (2019), giving it roughly 3,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Beneteau Flyer Gran Turismo 34 2011 at 32,8 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Beneteau Flyer Gran Turismo 34 2011 tips the scales at 11 858 lbs — 4 858 lbs less than the Beneteau Figaro 3 2019 at 7 000 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 24 hp, the Beneteau Figaro 3 2019 has a 22-hp advantage over the Beneteau Flyer Gran Turismo 34 2011's 2-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Beneteau Flyer Gran Turismo 34 2011 carries 129 gallons versus 11 gallons in the Beneteau Figaro 3 2019. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 10 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
The Beneteau Figaro 3 2019 has a documented displacement of 7 000 lbs. Displacement data wasn't available for the other boat in this comparison.
The Beneteau Figaro 3 2019 uses Sloop rigging. The Beneteau Figaro 3 2019 has a documented auxiliary engine of 24 hp.
Bottom line: The Beneteau Figaro 3 2019 at 36,0 ft offers more living space, greater range, and a more substantial offshore capability. The Beneteau Flyer Gran Turismo 34 2011 at 32,8 ft is the easier, lower-cost option — simpler to crew and a strong choice for coastal and day sailing.
