Designed by Finot-Conq, the Beneteau 34 is the perfect boat for the
sailing couple or smaller family. Making your perfect get-away plan
even easier, the Beneteau 34 has been designed with all lines leading
aft into the cockpit. This allows for the thrill of single-handed sailing.
In the cockpit, the Beneteau 34 also features a smart hinged helm seat
along with an offset rear entrance and disappearing companionway
slide. All designed to make cruising not just easier and more comfort-
able - but allowing you to share in the beauty that lies before you.
While the Beneteau 34 is built for cruising, you'll be impressed with
her performance and stability. LIke all Beneteau yachts, the 34 is con-
structed under exacting CE standards to excel even with the sea's most
unpredictable mood swings. Whether day sailing on Lake Erie, cross-
ing from Florida to the Bahamas or reaching across Lake Pontchar-
train, your 34 delivers the perfect escape to your cherished adventures.
The scenery has been spectacular. Getting there was a breeze. But
something else is on your mind. Your anticipation pays off as a lovely
and efficient interior layout welcomes you to magnificent woodwork
and upholstery. Headroom is remarkably generous. And light abounds
through the hull ports, multiple hatches and skylights on the split-level
coach roof. These same hatches allow for ventilation both at sail or
anchored in a secluded cove. For the gourmet, the spacious galley
offers all the comforts of home - including extensive storage, working
counter space, a two burner stove, stainless steel sink and large front
loading refrigerator/freezer for the extended trip. The comfortable,
elegantly appointed cabins offer plenty of room to spread out. In the
head, there is an area for the separate shower. The Beneteau 34 pro-
vides ample cruising space for the sailing couple or family. And if
friends happen to drop in this evening, the 34 easily welcomes aboard
up to six guests. Whether it's lobster this night, or the fresh-caught sea
bass; that is most certainly up to you.
